Baseline MRI habitat imaging for predicting treatment response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in locally advanced rectal cancer by Muzhen He, Huijian Chen, Chao Xu, Zhibo Wu, Zijie Lin, Yang Song, Guang Yang, Mingping Ma, Fangqin Xue

“…Model performance was assessed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) for both training and validation sets.ResultsThe AUC values for predicting the efficacy of LARC neoadjuvant therapy were as follows: in the training set, ModelClinic achieved 0.788, ModelRadiomics 0.827, ModelHabitat 0.815, ModelClinic+Radiomics 0.938, and ModelClinic+Habitat 0.896; in the test set, the corresponding AUCs were 0.656, 0.619, 0.636, 0.532, and 0.710, respectively. Decision curve analysis demonstrated that the clinical combined habitat model (ModelClinic+Habitat) provided higher net benefits than other models within a threshold probability range of 20% to 80%.ConclusionThe habitat model we developed, which integrates first-order and clinical features, demonstrates potential for predicting the efficacy of nCRT clinically interpretable spatial heterogeneity information. …”
