| Summary: | To investigate the use of non-contrast-enhanced (NCE) and contrast-enhanced (CE) CT radiomics signatures (Rad-scores) as prognostic factors to help improve the prediction of the overall survival (OS) of postoperative colorectal cancer (CRC) patients.OBJECTIVETo investigate the use of non-contrast-enhanced (NCE) and contrast-enhanced (CE) CT radiomics signatures (Rad-scores) as prognostic factors to help improve the prediction of the overall survival (OS) of postoperative colorectal cancer (CRC) patients.A retrospective analysis was performed on 65 CRC patients who underwent surgical resection in our hospital as the training set, and 19 patient images retrieved from The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA) as the external validation set. In training, radiomics features were extracted from the preoperative NCE/CE-CT, then selected through 5-fold cross validation LASSO Cox method and used to construct Rad-scores. Models derived from Rad-scores and clinical factors were constructed and compared. Kaplan-Meier analyses were also used to compare the survival probability between the high- and low-risk Rad-score groups. Finally, a nomogram was developed to predict the OS.METHODSA retrospective analysis was performed on 65 CRC patients who underwent surgical resection in our hospital as the training set, and 19 patient images retrieved from The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA) as the external validation set. In training, radiomics features were extracted from the preoperative NCE/CE-CT, then selected through 5-fold cross validation LASSO Cox method and used to construct Rad-scores. Models derived from Rad-scores and clinical factors were constructed and compared. Kaplan-Meier analyses were also used to compare the survival probability between the high- and low-risk Rad-score groups. Finally, a nomogram was developed to predict the OS.In training, a clinical model achieved a C-index of 0.796 (95% CI: 0.722-0.870), while clinical and two Rad-scores combined model performed the best, achieving a C-index of 0.821 (95% CI: 0.743-0.899). Furthermore, the models with the CE-CT Rad-score yielded slightly better performance than that of NCE-CT in training. For the combined model with CE-CT Rad-scores, a C-index of 0.818 (95% CI: 0.742-0.894) and 0.774 (95% CI: 0.556-0.992) were achieved in both the training and validation sets. Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated a significant difference in survival probability between the high- and low-risk groups. Finally, the areas under the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves for the model were 0.904, 0.777, and 0.843 for 1, 3, and 5-year survival, respectively.RESULTSIn training, a clinical model achieved a C-index of 0.796 (95% CI: 0.722-0.870), while clinical and two Rad-scores combined model performed the best, achieving a C-index of 0.821 (95% CI: 0.743-0.899).
