Purpose: To investigate if texture analysis (TA) on pretreatment contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) images can predict response to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) and prognosis in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC).
Methods and Materials: 65 pretreatment CECT studies of mRCC patients treated with first-line TKI were retrospectively reviewed. Objective response was assessed every 3 months according to RECIST 1.1 and modified Choi (mChoi) criteria. TA was performed on a 5-mm-thick central slice for each target lesion using a commercially available software (TexRAD Ltd, UK). Primary texture features and a novel HeteroDensity Index (HDI), accounting for size-standardised heterogeneity and mean pixel density, were quantified using different spatial-scale filters (ssf). Per-patient texture features were correlated with objective response, progression-free and overall survival (PFS, OS) using logistic regression and survival analysis, statistical significance was corrected to control false discovery rate.
Results: Primary texture features were not able to discriminate responders and non-responders. HDI obtained with a 3-mm ssf (ssf3) was positively correlated with objective response (odds ratio 0.14 for RECIST and 0.2 for mChoi criteria, p 0.018 and 0.026, respectively). Low ssf3 HDI was associated with worse PFS (hazard ratio 4.14, p 0.0001) and OS (hazard ratio 3.36, p 0.0008).
Conclusion: TA on pretreatment CECT helps to predict objective response and prognosis in mRCC patients treated with first-line TKI..
