ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Bladder cancer treatment decisions hinge on detecting muscle invasion. The 2018 "Vesical Imaging Reporting and Data System" (VI-RADS) standardizes multiparametric MRI (mp-MRI) use. Radiomics, an analysis framework, provides more insightful information than conventional methods.PURPOSE:
To determine how well MIBC (Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer) and NMIBC (Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer) can be distinguished using mp-MRI radiomics features.METHODS:
We conducted a study with 73 bladder cancer patients diagnosed pathologically, who underwent preoperative mp-MRI from January 2020 to July 2022. Utilizing 3D Slicer (version 4.8.1) and Pyradiomics, we manually extracted radiomic features from apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps created from diffusion-weighted imaging. The LASSO approach identified optimal features, and we addressed sample imbalance using SMOTE. We developed a classification model using textural features alone or combined with VI-RADS, employing a random forest classifier with 10-fold cross-validation. Diagnostic performance was assessed using the area under the ROC curve analysis.RESULTS:
Among 73 patients (63 men, 10 women; median age 63 years), 41 had muscle-invasive and 32 had superficial bladder cancer. Muscle invasion was observed in 25 of 41 patients with VI-RADS 4 and 5 scores and 12 of 32 patients with VI-RADS 1, 2, and 3 scores (accuracy 77.5%, sensitivity 67.7%, specificity 88.8%). The combined VI-RADS score and radiomics model (AUC = 0.92 ± 0.12) outperformed the single radiomics model using ADC MRI (AUC = 0.83 ± 0.22 with 10-fold cross-validation) in this dataset.CONCLUSION:
Before undergoing surgery, bladder cancer invasion in muscle might potentially be predicted using a radiomics signature based on mp-MRI.Palavras-chave
