Abstract

Objective

To investigate the prognostic value of 18F-FDG PET-based intensity, volumetric features, and deep learning (DL) across different generations of PET scanners in patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated lung adenocarcinoma receiving tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment.

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed the pre-treatment 18F-FDG PET of 217 patients with advanced-stage lung adenocarcinoma and actionable EGFR mutations who received TKI as first-line treatment. Patients were separated into analog (n = 166) and digital (n = 51) PET cohorts. 18F-FDG PET-derived intensity, volumetric features, ResNet-50 DL of the primary tumor, and clinical variables were used to predict progression-free survival (PFS). Independent prognosticators were used to develop prediction model. Model was developed and validated in the analog and digital PET cohorts, respectively.

Results

In the analog PET cohort, female sex, stage IVB status, exon 19 deletion, SUVmax, metabolic tumor volume, and positive DL prediction independently predicted PFS. The model devised from these six prognosticators significantly predicted PFS in the analog (HR = 1.319, p < 0.001) and digital PET cohorts (HR = 1.284, p = 0.001). Our model provided incremental prognostic value to staging status (c-indices = 0.738 vs. 0.558 and 0.662 vs. 0.598 in the analog and digital PET cohorts, respectively). Our model also demonstrated a significant prognostic value for overall survival (HR = 1.198, p < 0.001, c-index = 0.708 and HR = 1.256, p = 0.021, c-index = 0.664 in the analog and digital PET cohorts, respectively).

Conclusions

Combining 18F-FDG PET-based intensity, volumetric features, and DL with clinical variables may improve the survival stratification in patients with advanced EGFR-mutated lung adenocarcinoma receiving TKI treatment. Implementing the prediction model across different generations of PET scanners may be feasible and facilitate tailored therapeutic strategies for these patients.
