An MRI radiomics model for predicting a prostate-specific antigen response following abiraterone treatment in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer

ObjectiveTo establish a combined radiomics-clinical model for the early prediction of a prostate-specific antigen(PSA) response in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer(mCRPC) after treatment with abiraterone acetate(AA).MethodsThe data of a total of 60 mCRPC patients from tw...

description ObjectiveTo establish a combined radiomics-clinical model for the early prediction of a prostate-specific antigen(PSA) response in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer(mCRPC) after treatment with abiraterone acetate(AA).MethodsThe data of a total of 60 mCRPC patients from two hospitals were retrospectively analyzed and randomized into a training group(n=48) or a validation group(n=12). By extracting features from biparametric MRI, including T2-weighted imaging(T2WI), diffusion-weighted imaging(DWI), and apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC) maps, radiomics features from the training dataset were selected using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO) regression. Four predictive models were developed to assess the efficacy of abiraterone in treating patients with mCRPC. The primary outcome variable was the PSA response following AA treatment. The performance of each model was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC). Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed using Cox regression to identify significant predictors of the efficacy of abiraterone treatment in patients with mCRPC.ResultsThe integrated model was constructed from seven radiomics features extracted from the T2WI, DWI, and ADC sequence images of the training data. This model demonstrated the highest AUC in both the training and validation cohorts, with values of 0.889 (95% CI, 0.764-0.961) and 0.875 (95% CI, 0.564-0.991). The Rad-score served as an independent predictor of the response to abiraterone treatment in patients with mCRPC (HR: 2.21, 95% CI: 1.01-4.44).ConclusionThe biparametric MRI-based radiomics model has the potential to predict the PSA response in patients with mCRPC following abiraterone treatment.Clinical relevance statementThe MRI-based radiomics model could be used to noninvasively identify the AA response in mCRPC patients, which is helpful for early clinical decision-making.
