          Abstract

          Purpose

          To evaluate the ability of preoperative MRI-based measurements to predict the pathological T (pT) stage and cervical lymph node metastasis (CLNM) via machine learning (ML)-driven models trained in oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC).

          Materials and methods

          108 patients with a new diagnosis of OTSCC were enrolled. The preoperative MRI study included post-contrast high-resolution T1-weighted images acquired in all patients. MRI-based depth of invasion (DOI) and tumor dimension—together with shape-based and intensity-based features—were extracted from the lesion volume segmentation. The entire dataset was randomly divided into a training set and a validation set, and the performances of different types of ML algorithms were evaluated and compared.

          Results

          MRI-based DOI and tumor dimension together with several shape-based and intensity-based signatures significantly discriminated the pT stage and LN status. The overall accuracy of the model for predicting the pT stage was 0.86 (95%CI, 0.78–0.92) and 0.81 (0.64–0.91) in the training and validation sets, respectively. There was no improvement in the model performance upon including shape-based and intensity-based features. The model for predicting CLNM based on DOI and tumor dimensions had a fair accuracy of 0.68 (0.57–0.78) and 0.69 (0.51–0.84) in the training and validation sets, respectively. The shape-based and intensity-based signatures have shown potential for improving the model sensitivity, with a comparable accuracy.

          Conclusion

          MRI-based models driven by ML algorithms could stratify patients with OTSCC according to the pT stages. They had a moderate ability to predict cervical lymph node metastasis.

          Cancer statistics, 2022

          Each year, the American Cancer Society estimates the numbers of new cancer cases and deaths in the United States and compiles the most recent data on population-based cancer occurrence and outcomes. Incidence data (through 2018) were collected by the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program; the National Program of Cancer Registries; and the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries. Mortality data (through 2019) were collected by the National Center for Health Statistics. In 2022, 1,918,030 new cancer cases and 609,360 cancer deaths are projected to occur in the United States, including approximately 350 deaths per day from lung cancer, the leading cause of cancer death. Incidence during 2014 through 2018 continued a slow increase for female breast cancer (by 0.5% annually) and remained stable for prostate cancer, despite a 4% to 6% annual increase for advanced disease since 2011. Consequently, the proportion of prostate cancer diagnosed at a distant stage increased from 3.9% to 8.2% over the past decade. In contrast, lung cancer incidence continued to decline steeply for advanced disease while rates for localized-stage increased suddenly by 4.5% annually, contributing to gains both in the proportion of localized-stage diagnoses (from 17% in 2004 to 28% in 2018) and 3-year relative survival (from 21% to 31%). Mortality patterns reflect incidence trends, with declines accelerating for lung cancer, slowing for breast cancer, and stabilizing for prostate cancer. In summary, progress has stagnated for breast and prostate cancers but strengthened for lung cancer, coinciding with changes in medical practice related to cancer screening and/or treatment. More targeted cancer control interventions and investment in improved early detection and treatment would facilitate reductions in cancer mortality.

            SMOTE: Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique

            An approach to the construction of classifiers from imbalanced datasets is described. A dataset is imbalanced if the classification categories are not approximately equally represented. Often real-world data sets are predominately composed of ``normal'' examples with only a small percentage of ``abnormal'' or ``interesting'' examples. It is also the case that the cost of misclassifying an abnormal (interesting) example as a normal example is often much higher than the cost of the reverse error. Under-sampling of the majority (normal) class has been proposed as a good means of increasing the sensitivity of a classifier to the minority class. This paper shows that a combination of our method of over-sampling the minority (abnormal) class and under-sampling the majority (normal) class can achieve better classifier performance (in ROC space) than only under-sampling the majority class. This paper also shows that a combination of our method of over-sampling the minority class and under-sampling the majority class can achieve better classifier performance (in ROC space) than varying the loss ratios in Ripper or class priors in Naive Bayes. Our method of over-sampling the minority class involves creating synthetic minority class examples. Experiments are performed using C4.5, Ripper and a Naive Bayes classifier. The method is evaluated using the area under the Receiver Operating Characteristic curve (AUC) and the ROC convex hull strategy.

              Computational Radiomics System to Decode the Radiographic Phenotype

              Radiomics aims to quantify phenotypic characteristics on medical imaging through the use of automated algorithms. Radiomic artificial intelligence (AI) technology, either based on engineered hard-coded algorithms or deep learning methods, can be used to develop non-invasive imaging-based biomarkers. However, lack of standardized algorithm definitions and image processing severely hampers reproducibility and comparability of results. To address this issue, we developed PyRadiomics , a flexible open-source platform capable of extracting a large panel of engineered features from medical images. PyRadiomics is implemented in Python and can be used standalone or using 3D-Slicer. Here, we discuss the workflow and architecture of PyRadiomics and demonstrate its application in characterizing lung-lesions. Source code, documentation, and examples are publicly available at www.radiomics.io . With this platform, we aim to establish a reference standard for radiomic analyses, provide a tested and maintained resource, and to grow the community of radiomic developers addressing critical needs in cancer research.
