Preoperative MRI Tumor Texture Analysis for Endometrial Cancer High-Risk Disease Prediction
Author(s): Elena Brown*
In order to predict high-risk Endometrial Cancer (EC) before surgery, it is necessary to develop and validate radiomics models based on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MR) that can estimate Deep Myometrial Invasion (DMI) and Lymphovascular Space Invasion (LVSI), as well as distinguish between low-risk and other categories of risk as recommended by ESGO/ESTRO/ESP (European Society of Gynecological OncologyEuropean Society for Radiotherapy & Oncology and European Society of Pathology. The 96 women with EC who received 1.5-T MR imaging prior to surgical staging between April 2009 and May 2019 at two referral facilities were included in this retrospective analysis. The participants were split into training (T=73) and validation cohorts (V=23). The MODDICOM library was used to extract radiomics characteristics, and whole-tumor volume was manually delineated on MR images (axial T2- weighte.. View More»
