ABSTRACT

The main aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of radiomic approach in pre-therapeutic 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography (FDG-PET/CT) in a large cohort of patients with gastro-esophageal junction cancer (GEJC). This was a retrospective monocenter study including 97 consecutive patients with GEJC who underwent a pre-therapeutic FDG-PET and were followed up for 3 years. Standard first-order radiomic PET indices including SUVmax, SUVmean, SUVpeak, MTV and TLG and 32 textural features (TFs) were calculated using LIFEx software on PET imaging. Prognostic significance of these parameters was assessed in univariate and multivariate analysis. Relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) were respectively chosen as primary and secondary endpoints. An internal validation cohort was used by randomly drawing one-third of included patients. The main characteristics of this cohort were: median age of 65 years [41-88], sex ratio H/F = 83/14, 81.5% of patients with a histopathology of adenocarcinoma and 43.3% with a stage IV disease. The median follow-up was 28.5 months [4.2-108.5]. Seventy-seven (79.4%) patients had locoregional or distant progression or recurrence and 71 (73.2%) died. In univariate analysis, SUVmean, Histogram-Entropy and 2 TFs (GLCM-Homogeneity and GLCM-Energy) were significantly correlated with RFS and OS, as well as 2 others TFs (GLRLM-LRE and GLRLM-GLNU) with OS only. In multivariate analysis, Histogram-Entropy remained an independent prognostic factor of both RFS and OS whereas SUVmean was an independent prognostic factor of OS only. These results were partially confirmed in our internal validation cohort of 33 patients. Our results suggest that radiomic approach reveals independent prognostic factors for survival in patients with GEJC.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Fluoropyrimidines (FPs) carry around 20% risk of G3-5 toxicity and 0.2-1% risk of death, due to dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) deficiency. Several screening approaches exist for predicting toxicity, however there is ongoing debate over which method is best. This study compares 4 screening approaches. METHOD: 472 patients treated for colorectal, head-and-neck, breast, or pancreatic cancers, who had not been tested pre-treatment for FP toxicity risk, were screened using: DPYD genotyping (G); phenotyping via plasma Uracil (U); phenotyping via plasma-dihydrouracil/uracil ratio (UH2/U); and a Multi-Parametric Method (MPM) using genotype, phenotype, and epigenetic data. Performance was compared, particularly the inability to detect at-risk patients (false negatives). RESULTS: False negative rates for detecting G5 toxicity risk were 51.2%, 19.5%, 9.8% and 2.4%, for G, U, UH2/U and MPM, respectively. False negative rates for detecting G4-5 toxicity risk were 59.8%, 36.1%, 21.3% and 4.7%, respectively. MPM demonstrated significantly (p < 0.001) better prediction performance. CONCLUSION: MPM is the most effective method for limiting G4-5 toxicity. Its systematic implementation is cost-effective and significantly improves the risk-benefit ratio of FP-treatment. The use of MPM, rather than G or U testing, would avoid nearly 8,000 FP-related deaths per year globally (500 in France), and spare hundreds of thousands from G4 toxicity.
