TLDR
The proposed MRI-based radiomics nomogram has good performance for predicting LN metastasis in cervical cancer and may be useful for improving clinical decision making.
Abstract
Objective: To develop and validate a radiomics predictive model based on multiparameter MR imaging features and clinical features to predict lymph node metastasis (LNM) in patients with cervical cancer Material and Methods: A total of 168 consecutive patients with cervical cancer from two centers were enrolled in our retrospective study A total of 3,930 imaging features were extracted from T2-weighted (T2W), ADC, and contrast-enhanced T1-weighted (cT1W) images for each patient Four-step procedures, mainly minimum redundancy maximum relevance (MRMR) and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression, were applied for feature selection and radiomics signature building in the training set from center I (n = 115) Combining clinical risk factors, a radiomics nomogram was then constructed The models were then validated in the external validation set comprising 53 patients from center II The predictive performance was determined by its calibration, discrimination, and clinical usefulness Results: The radiomics signature derived from the combination of T2W, ADC, and cT1W images, composed of six LN-status-related features, was significantly associated with LNM and showed better predictive performance than signatures derived from either of them alone in both sets Encouragingly, the radiomics signature also showed good discrimination in the MRI-reported LN-negative subgroup, with AUC of 0825 (95% CI: 0732-0919) The radiomics nomogram that incorporated radiomics signature and MRI-reported LN status also showed good calibration and discrimination in both sets, with AUCs of 0865 (95% CI: 0794-0936) and 0861 (95% CI: 0733-0990), respectively Decision curve analysis confirmed its clinical usefulness Conclusion: The proposed MRI-based radiomics nomogram has good performance for predicting LN metastasis in cervical cancer and may be useful for improving clinical decision making

TL;DR: The overall cancer death rate dropped continuously from 1991 to 2016 by a total of 27%, translating into approximately 2,629,200 fewer cancer deaths than would have been expected if death rates had remained at their peak.

TL;DR: Many of the estimated cancer cases and deaths can be prevented through reducing the prevalence of risk factors, while increasing the effectiveness of clinical care delivery, particularly for those living in rural areas and in disadvantaged populations.

Feature selection based on mutual information criteria of max-dependency, max-relevance, and min-redundancy

TL;DR: In this article, the maximal statistical dependency criterion based on mutual information (mRMR) was proposed to select good features according to the maximal dependency condition. But the problem of feature selection is not solved by directly implementing mRMR.

Feature selection based on mutual information: criteria ofmax-dependency, max-relevance, and min-redundancy

TL;DR: This work derives an equivalent form, called minimal-redundancy-maximal-relevance criterion (mRMR), for first-order incremental feature selection, and presents a two-stage feature selection algorithm by combining mRMR and other more sophisticated feature selectors (e.g., wrappers).
