IntroductionGliomas are still considered as challenging in oncologic management despite the developments in treatment approaches. The complete elimination of a glioma might not be possible even after a treatment and assessment of therapeutic response is important to determine the future course of actions for patients with such cancers. In the recent years radiomics has emerged as a promising solution with potential applications including prediction of therapeutic response. Hence, this study was focused on investigating whether morphometry-based radiomics signature could be used to predict therapeutic response in patients with gliomas following radiotherapy.Methods105 magnetic resonance (MR) images including segmented and non-segmented images were used to extract morphometric features and develop a morphometry-based radiomics signature. After determining the appropriate machine learning algorithm, a prediction model was developed to predict the therapeutic response eliminating the highly correlated features as well as without eliminating the highly correlated features. Then the model performance was evaluated.ResultsTumor grade had the highest contribution to develop the morphometry-based signature. Random forest provided the highest accuracy to train the prediction model derived from the morphometry-based radiomics signature. An accuracy of 86% and area under the curve (AUC) value of 0.91 were achieved for the prediction model evaluated without eliminating the highly correlated features whereas accuracy and AUC value were 84% and 0.92 respectively for the prediction model evaluated after eliminating the highly correlated features.DiscussionNonetheless, the developed morphometry-based radiomics signature could be utilized as a noninvasive biomarker for therapeutic response in patients with gliomas following radiotherapy. |
