Correlation Between Tumor Metabolism and Semiquantitative Perfusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging Metrics in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.
International Journal of Radiation Oncology, Biology, Physics 2018 November 16
PURPOSE: To correlate semiquantitative parameters derived from dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) and 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18 F-FDG-PET) for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
METHODS AND MATERIALS: Twenty-four NSCLC patients who underwent pretreatment 18 F-FDG-PET and DCE-MRI were analyzed. The maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) was measured from 18F-FDG-PET. Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI was obtained on a 3T MRI scanner using 4-dimensional T1-weighted high-resolution imaging with a volume excitation sequence. The DCE-MRI parameters, consisting of mean, median, standard deviation (SD), and median absolute deviation (MAD) of peak enhancement, time to peak (TTP), time to half peak (TTHP), wash-in slope (WIS), wash-out slope (WOS), initial gradient, wash-out gradient, signal enhancement ratio, and initial area under the relative signal enhancement curve taken up to 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, and 180 seconds, TTP, and TTHP (IAUCtthp), were calculated for each lesion. Univariate analysis (UVA) was performed using Spearman correlation. A linear regression model to predict SUVmax from DCE-MRI parameters was developed by multivariate analysis (MVA) using least absolute shrinkage selection operator in combination with leave-one-out cross-validation (LOOCV).
RESULTS: In UVA, mean(WOS) (ρ = -0.456, P = .025), mean(IAUCtthp) (ρ = -0.439, P = .032), median(IAUCtthp) (ρ = -0.543, P = .006), and MAD(IAUCtthp) (ρ = -0.557, P = .005) were statistically significant; all these parameters were negatively correlated with SUVmax. In MVA, a linear combination of SD(WIS), SD(TTP), MAD(TTHP), and MAD(IAUCtthp) was statistically significant for predicting SUVmax (LOOCV-based adjusted R2 = 0.298, P = .0006). A decrease in SD(WIS), MAD(TTHP), and MAD(IAUCtthp) and an increase in SD(TTP) were associated with a significant increase in SUVmax.
CONCLUSION: An association was found between SUVmax, the SD, and MAD of DCE-MRI metrics derived during contrast uptake in NSCLC, reflecting that intratumoral heterogeneity in wash-in contrast kinetics is associated with tumor metabolism. Although MAD(IAUCtthp) was a significant feature in both UVA and MVA, the LASSO-based multivariate regression model yielded better predictability of SUVmax than a univariate regression model using MAD(IAUCtthp). This study will facilitate understanding of the complex relationship between tumor vascularization and metabolism and eventually help in guiding targeted therapy.
