This study aimed to identify optimal combinations between feature selection methods and machine-learning classifiers for predicting the metabolic response of individual metastatic breast cancer lesions, based on clinical variables and radiomic features extracted from pretreatment [A total of 48 patients with confirmed metastatic breast cancer, who received different treatments, were included. All patients had an [The combinations, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso) + support vector machines (SVM), or random forest (RF) had the highest AUC in the cross-validation, with 0.93 ± 0.06 and 0.92 ± 0.03, respectively, whereas Lasso + neural network (NN) or SVM, and mutual information (MI) + RF, had the higher AUC and ACC in the validation cohort, with 0.90/0.72, 0.86/0.76, and 87/85, respectively. On average, the models with Lasso and models with SVM had the best mean performance for both AUC and ACC in both training and validation cohorts.Image features obtained from a pretreatment [ |
