Popis: Rationale and Objectives To develop and validate a radiomics model, a clinical-semantic model and a combined model by using standard methods for the pretreatment prediction of distant metastasis (DM) in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and to explore whether the combined model provides added value compared to the individual models. Materials and Methods This retrospective study involved 356 patients with NSCLC. According to the image biomarker standardization initiative reference manual, we standardized the image processing and feature extraction using in-house software. Finally, 6692 radiomics features were extracted from each lesion based on contrast-enhanced chest CT images. The least absolute shrinkage selection operator and the recursive feature elimination algorithm were used to select features. The logistic regression classifier was used to build the model. Three models (radiomics model, clinical-semantic model and combined model) were constructed to predict DM in NSCLC. Area under the receiver operating characteristic curves were used to validate the ability of the three models to predict DM. A visual nomogram based on the combined model was developed for DM risk assessment in each patient. Results The receiver operating characteristic curve showed predictive performance for DM of the radiomics model (area under the curve [AUC] values for training and validation were 0.76 [95% CI, 0.704 - 0.820] and 0.76 [95% CI, 0.653 - 0.858], respectively). The combined model had AUCs of 0.78 (95% CI, 0.723 - 0.835) and 0.77 (95% CI, 0.673 - 0.870) in the training and validation cohorts, respectively. Both the radiomics model and combined model performed better than the clinical-semantic model (0.70 [95% CI, 0.634 - 0.760] and 0.67 [95% CI, 0.554 - 0.787] in the training and validation cohorts, respectively). Conclusion The radiomics model and combined model may be useful for the prediction of DM in patients with NSCLC.
