MRI-based deep learning and radiomics for predicting the efficacy of PD-1 inhibitor combined with induction chemotherapy in advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma: A prospective cohort study

Background: An increasing number of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients benefit from immunotherapy with chemotherapy as an induction treatment. Currently, there isn't a reliable method to assess the efficacy of this regimen, which hinders informed decision-making for follow-up care. Aim: To...

description Background: An increasing number of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients benefit from immunotherapy with chemotherapy as an induction treatment. Currently, there isn't a reliable method to assess the efficacy of this regimen, which hinders informed decision-making for follow-up care. Aim: To establish and evaluate a model for predicting the efficacy of programmed death-1 (PD-1) inhibitor combined with GP (gemcitabine and cisplatin) induction chemotherapy based on deep learning features (DLFs) and radiomic features. Methods: Ninety-nine patients diagnosed with advanced NPC were enrolled and randomly divided into training set and test set in a 7:3 ratio. From MRI scans, DLFs and conventional radiomic characteristics were recovered. The random forest algorithm was employed to identify the most valuable features. A prediction model was then created using these radiomic characteristics and DLFs to determine the effectiveness of PD-1 inhibitor combined with GP chemotherapy. The model's performance was assessed using Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, area under the curve (AUC), accuracy (ACC), and negative predictive value (NPV). Results: Twenty-one prediction models were constructed. The Tf_Radiomics+Resnet101 model, which combines radiomic features and DLFs, demonstrated the best performance. The model's AUC, ACC, and NPV values in the training and test sets were 0.936 (95%CI: 0.827–1.0), 0.9, and 0.923, respectively. Conclusion: The Tf_Radiomics+Resnet101 model, based on MRI and Resnet101 deep learning, shows a high ability to predict the clinically complete response (cCR) efficacy of PD-1 inhibitor combined with GP in advanced NPC. This model can significantly enhance the treatment management of patients with advanced NPC.
