Abstract
PURPOSE: Spread through air space (STAS) is a novel invasive pattern of lung adenocarcinoma and is also a risk factor for recurrence and worse prognosis of lung adenocarcinoma. The aims of this study are to develop and validate a computed tomography (CT)‑based radiomics model for preoperative prediction of STAS in lung adenocarcinoma. METHODS AND MATERIALS: This retrospective study was approved by an institutional review board and included 462 (mean age, 58.06 years) patients with pathologically confirmed lung adenocarcinoma. STAS was identified in 90 patients (19.5%). Two experienced radiologists segmented and extracted radiomics features on preoperative thin-slice CT images with radiomics extension independently. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) and Pearson's correlation were used to rule out those low reliable (ICC < 0.75) and redundant (r > 0.9) features. Univariate logistic regression was applied to select radiomics features which were associated with STAS. A radiomics-based machine learning predictive model using a random forest (RF) was developed and calibrated with fivefold cross-validation. The diagnostic performance of the model was measured by the area under the curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic (ROC). RESULTS: With univariate analysis, 12 radiomics features and age were found to be associated with STAS significantly. The RF model achieved an AUC of 0.754 (a sensitivity of 0.880 and a specificity of 0.588) for predicting STAS. CONCLUSION: CT-based radiomics model can preoperatively predict STAS in lung adenocarcinoma with good diagnosis performance. KEY POINTS: • CT-based radiomics and machine learning model can predict spread through air space (STAS) in lung adenocarcinoma with high accuracy. • The random forest (RF) model achieved an AUC of 0.754 (a sensitivity of 0.880 and a specificity of 0.588) for predicting STAS.
