    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Preoperative prediction of microsatellite instability (MSI) status in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients is of great significance for clinicians to perform further treatment strategies and prognostic evaluation. Our aims were to develop and validate a non-invasive, cost-effective reproducible and individualized clinic-radiomics nomogram method for preoperative MSI status prediction based on contrast-enhanced CT (CECT)images. METHODS: A total of 76 MSI CRC patients and 200 microsatellite stability (MSS) CRC patients with pathologically confirmed (194 in the training set and 82 in the validation set) were identified and enrolled in our retrospective study. We included six significant clinical risk factors and four qualitative imaging data extracted from CECT images to build the clinics model. We applied the intra-and inter-class correlation coefficient (ICC), minimal-redundancy-maximal-relevance (mRMR) and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) for feature reduction and selection. The selected independent prediction clinical risk factors, qualitative imaging data and radiomics features were performed to develop a predictive nomogram model for MSI status on the basis of multivariable logistic regression by tenfold cross-validation. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC), calibration plots and Hosmer-Lemeshow test were performed to assess the nomogram model. Finally, decision curve analysis (DCA) was performed to determine the clinical utility of the nomogram model by quantifying the net benefits of threshold probabilities. RESULTS: Twelve top-ranked radiomics features, three clinical risk factors (location, WBC and histological grade) and CT-reported IFS were finally selected to construct the radiomics, clinics and combined clinic-radiomics nomogram model. The clinic-radiomics nomogram model with the highest AUC value of 0.87 (95% CI, 0.81-0.93) and 0.90 (95% CI, 0.83-0.96), as well as good calibration and clinical utility observed using the calibration plots and DCA in the training and validation sets respectively, was regarded as the candidate model for identification of MSI status in CRC patients. CONCLUSION: The proposed clinic-radiomics nomogram model with a combination of clinical risk factors, qualitative imaging data and radiomics features can potentially be effective in the individualized preoperative prediction of MSI status in CRC patients and may help performing further treatment strategies.
