ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Due to heterogeneity of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), outcome assessment of HCC with transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is challenging.METHODS:
We built histologic-related scores to determine microvascular invasion (MVI) and Edmondson-Steiner grade by training CT radiomics features using machine learning classifiers in a cohort of 494 HCCs with hepatic resection. Meanwhile, we developed a deep learning (DL)-score for disease-specific survival by training CT imaging using DL networks in a cohort of 243 HCCs with TACE. Then, three newly built imaging hallmarks with clinicoradiologic factors were analyzed with a Cox-Proportional Hazard (Cox-PH) model.FINDINGS:
In HCCs with hepatic resection, two imaging hallmarks resulted in areas under the curve (AUCs) of 0.79 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.71-0.85) and 0.72 (95% CI 0.64-0.79) for predicting MVI and Edmondson-Steiner grade, respectively, using test data. In HCCs with TACE, higher DL-score (hazard ratio [HR] 3.01; 95% CI 2.02-4.50), American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) stage III+IV (HR 1.71; 95% CI 1.12-2.61), Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) with stable diseaseâ¯+â¯progressive disease (HR 2.72; 95% CI 1.84-4.01), and TACE-course > 3 (HR 0.65; 95% CI 0.45-0.76) were independent prognostic factors. Using these factors via a Cox-PH model resulted in a concordance index of 0.73 (95% CI 0.71-0.76) for predicting overall survival and AUCs of 0.85 (95% CI 0.81-0.89), 0.90 (95% CI 0.86-0.94), and 0.89 (95% CI 0.84-0.92), respectively, for predicting 3-year, 5-year, and 10-year survival.INTERPRETATION:
Our study offers a DL-based, noninvasive imaging hallmark to predict outcome of HCCs with TACE.FUNDING:
