Abstract
BACKGROUND: To investigate the value of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) histograms in differentiating Ki-67 expression in T1 stage invasive ductal breast carcinoma (IDC). METHODS: The records of 111 patients with pathologically confirmed T1 stage IDC who underwent magnetic resonance imaging prior to surgery were retrospectively reviewed. The expression of Ki-67 in tumor tissue samples from the patients was assessed using immunohistochemical (IHC) staining, with a cut-off value of 25% for high Ki-67 labeling index (LI). ADC images of the maximum lay of tumors were selected, and the region of interest (ROI) of each lay was delineated using the MaZda software and analyzed by histogram. The correlations between the histogram characteristic parameters and the Ki-67 LI were investigated. Additionally, the histogram characteristic parameters of the high Ki-67 group (n=54) and the low Ki-67 group (n=57) were statistically analyzed to determine the characteristic parameters with significant difference. Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) analyses were further performed for the significant parameters. RESULTS: The mean value, and the 1st, 10th, 50th, 90th, and 99th percentiles were found to be negatively correlated with the expression of Ki-67 (all P values <0.001), with a correlation coefficient of -0.624, -0.749, -0.717, -0.621, -0.500, and -0.410, respectively. In the high Ki-67 group, the mean value, and the 1st, 10th, 50th, 90th, and 99th percentiles extracted by the histogram were significantly lower (all P values <0.05) than that of the low Ki-67 group, with areas under the ROC curves ranging from 0.717-0.856. However, the variance, skewness, and kurtosis did not differ between the two groups (all P values >0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Histogram-derived parameters for ADC images can serve as a reliable tool in the prediction of Ki-67 proliferation status in patients with T1 stage IDC. Among the significant ADC histogram values, the 1st and 10th percentiles showed the best predictive values. 2021 Quantitative Imaging in Medicine and Surgery. All rights reserved.
