Abstract:
Objective:To construct nomogram based on computed tomography (CT) feature,and to analyze its value for predicting programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods:Retrospective analysis was performed on 116 patients with pathologically proven NSCLC with solid tumor manifestations on imaging,including 55 cases of squamous cell carcinoma and 61 cases of adenocarcinoma.Analyzed its clinical and imaging data,screened clinical independent predictive factors,and constructed a clinical model.The images were exported and registered with the plain scan and arterial phase images.The regions of interest of the tumor were sketched manually layer by layer and the radiomics features were extracted.After feature screening,the radiomics model was constructed and the radiomics score was calculated for each patient.The radiomics score and clinical independent predictors were combined to construct a nomogram.The diagnostic performance of the model was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC).Decision curve analysis (DCA) was used to evaluate the clinical utility of the models,and DeLong's test was used to evaluate the differences between the models.In addition,the two pathological types of squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma were grouped and subgroup analysis was performed.Results:Cavity is a clinically independent predictor of PD-L1 expression (with an odds ratio of 3.624).The diagnostic performance of the nomogram (training group AUC vs validation group AUC: 0.861 vs 0.803) was better than that of the radiomics model (AUC: 0.847 vs 0.777) and clinical model (AUC: 0.608 vs 0.570).The decision curve shows that the nomogram has higher clinical application value than the clinical model and the radiomics model.In subgroup analysis,the nomogram still has good diagnostic efficacy,and the diagnostic efficacy of squamous cell carcinoma group is better than that of adenocarcinoma group.Conclusion:CT radiomics nomogram can effectively predict the expression status of PD-L1 protein in solid NSCLC tissues before surgery,which can provide help for clinical protocols selection and preoperative decision.
