Abstract
Functional parameters from positron emission tomography (PET) seem promising biomarkers in various lymphoma subtypes. This study investigated the prognostic value of PET radiomics in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients treated with R-CHOP given either every 14 (testing set) or 21 days (validation set). Using the PyRadiomics Python package, 107 radiomics features were extracted from baseline PET scans of 133 patients enrolled in the Swiss Group for Clinical Cancer Research 38/07 prospective clinical trial (SAKK 38/07) [ClinicalTrial.gov identifier: NCT00544219]. The international prognostic indices, the main clinical parameters and standard PET metrics, together with 52 radiomics uncorrelated features (selected using the Spearman correlation test) were included in a least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) Cox regression to assess their impact on progression-free (PFS), cause-specific (CSS), and overall survival (OS). A linear combination of the resulting parameters generated a prognostic radiomics score (RS) whose area under the curve (AUC) was calculated by receiver operating characteristic analysis. The RS efficacy was validated in an independent cohort of 107 DLBCL patients. LASSO Cox regression identified four radiomics features predicting PFS in SAKK 38/07. The derived RS showed a significant capability to foresee PFS in both testing (AUC, 0.709; p < 0.001) and validation (AUC, 0.706; p < 0.001) sets. RS was significantly associated also with CSS and OS in testing (CSS: AUC, 0.721; p < 0.001; OS: AUC, 0.740; p < 0.001) and validation (CSS: AUC, 0.763; p < 0.0001; OS: AUC, 0.703; p = 0.004) sets. The RS allowed risk classification of patients with significantly different PFS, CSS, and OS in both cohorts showing better predictive accuracy respect to clinical international indices. PET-derived radiomics may improve the prediction of outcome in DLBCL patients.
