To understand the association between genetic mutations and radiomics of 2-deoxy-2-[F]fluoro-D-glucose ([F]FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/x-ray computed tomography (CT) in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC).
This study included 74 CRC patients who had undergone preoperative [F]FDG PET/CT. A total of 65 PET/CT-related features including intensity, volume-based, histogram, and textural features were calculated. High-resolution melting methods were used for genetic mutation analysis.
Genetic mutants were found in 21 KRAS tumors (28 %), 31 TP53 tumors (42 %), and 17 APC tumors (23 %). Tumors with a mutated KRAS had an increased value at the 25th percentile of maximal standardized uptake value (SUV) within their metabolic tumor volume (MTV) (P < .0001; odds ratio [OR] 1.99; 95 % confidence interval [CI] 1.37-2.90) and their contrast from the gray-level cooccurrence matrix (P = .005; OR 1.52; 95 % CI 1.14-2.04). A mutated TP53 was associated with an increased value of short-run low gray-level emphasis derived from the gray-level run length matrix (P = .001; OR 243006.0; 95 % CI 59.2-996,872,313). APC mutants exhibited lower low gray-level zone emphasis derived from the gray-level zone length matrix (P = .006; OR < .0001; 95 % CI 0.000-0.22).
PET/CT-derived radiomics can provide supplemental information to determine KRAS, TP53, and APC genetic alterations in CRC.
了解结直肠癌(CRC)患者 2-脱氧-2-[F]氟-D-葡萄糖([F]FDG)正电子发射断层扫描(PET)/X 射线计算机断层扫描(CT)的基因突变为放射组学之间的关联。
本研究纳入了 74 例接受术前[F]FDG PET/CT 的 CRC 患者。共计算了 65 个与 PET/CT 相关的特征,包括强度、基于体积的、直方图和纹理特征。采用高分辨率熔解方法进行基因突变分析。
21 例 KRAS 肿瘤(28%)、31 例 TP53 肿瘤(42%)和 17 例 APC 肿瘤(23%)发现有基因突变。在代谢肿瘤体积(MTV)内,具有突变 KRAS 的肿瘤的最大标准化摄取值(SUV)的第 25 百分位数的增值更高(P<0.0001;优势比[OR] 1.99;95%置信区间[CI] 1.37-2.90),且其与灰度共生矩阵的对比度更高(P=0.005;OR 1.52;95%CI 1.14-2.04)。TP53 突变与灰度游程长度矩阵中短程低灰度重点的增值相关(P=0.001;OR 243006.0;95%CI 59.2-996872313)。APC 突变表现出灰度区域长度矩阵中低灰度区域重点较低(P=0.006;OR<0.0001;95%CI 0.000-0.22)。
PET/CT 衍生的放射组学可为确定 CRC 中的 KRAS、TP53 和 APC 遗传改变提供补充信息。
