    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Preoperative pathological grading assessment is important for patients with breast phyllodes tumors (PTs). PURPOSE: To develop and validate a clinical-radiomics model based on multiparametric MRI and clinical information for the pretreatment differential diagnosis of PTs. STUDY TYPE: Retrospective. POPULATION: A total of 216 patients with PTs, 133 in the training cohort (55 benign PTs [BPTs] and 78 borderline/malignant PTs [BMPTs]) and 83 in the validation cohort (28 BPTs and 55 BMPTs). FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE: 1.5 T and 3 T; T2-weighted imaging (T2WI), precontrast T1-weighted imaging (T1WI) and dynamic contrast-enhanced T1-weighted imaging (DCE-T1WI). ASSESSMENT: A total of 3138 radiomics features were computed to decode the imaging phenotypes of PTs. To build the classification models, the following workflow was followed: minimum-maximum scaling normalization method, recursive feature elimination based on ridge regression (Ridge-RFE), synthetic minority oversampling technique, and support vector machine classifier. We established several models based on the statistically significant features (Ridge-RFE selected) of each sequence to distinguish BPTs from BMPTs, including precontrast T1WI model, DCE-T1WI phase 1 model, T1WI feature fusion model, T2WI model, T1WI + T2WI model, clinical feature model, conventional MRI characteristics model, and combined clinical-radiomics model. STATISTICAL TESTS: Univariate analysis was utilized to compare variables between the BPT and BMPT groups. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis was used to evaluate the diagnostic performance of these models. RESULTS: In the training cohort, the clinical-radiomics model had excellent diagnostic efficiency, with an area under ROC (AUC) of 0.91 ± 0.02 (95% CI: 0.87-0.94). In the validation cohort, the AUCs were 0.79 ± 0.05 (95% CI: 0.70-0.87) for the combined model and 0.77 ± 0.05 (95% CI: 0.67-0.85) for the radiomics model. DATA CONCLUSION: Compared with conventional MRI characteristics, radiomics features extracted from multiparametric MRI are helpful for improving the accuracy of differentiating the pathological grades of PTs preoperatively. The model based on radiomics and clinical information is expected to become a potential noninvasive tool for the assessment of PTs grades. EVIDENCE LEVEL: 4 TECHNICAL EFFICACY: Stage 2.
