MRI-based radiomic models for the preoperative prediction of extramural venous invasion in rectal cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Clinical Imaging 2024 April 8
AIM: To estimate the diagnostic value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based radiomic models in detecting the extramural venous invasion (EMVI) of rectal cancer.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Appropriate studies in multiple electronic databases were systematically retrieved. The Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies 2 and Radiomics Quality Score (RQS) were used to evaluate the eligible studies' methodology quality. Summary accuracy metrics were calculated, and the publication bias was detected using Deek's funnel plot. The sensitivity and meta-regression analysis were performed to investigate the causes of heterogeneity.
RESULTS: For the seven eligible studies, which included 1175 patients, the pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio, negative likelihood ratio, and diagnostic odds ratio were 0.80 (95 % CI, 0.70-0.88), 0.89 (95 % CI, 0.84-0.92), 7.0 (95 % CI, 4.7, 10.4), 0.22 (95 % CI, 0.14, 0.34), and 32 (95 % CI, 16, 65), respectively. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was 0.91 (95 % CI, 0.88, 0.93). Moderate heterogeneity was found due to I2 values of 38.63 % and 32.29 % in sensitivity and specificity, respectively. Meta-regression analysis suggested that the patient enrollment, number of patients, segmentation method, and RQS score were the source of the heterogeneity. The head-to-head analysis suggested that radiomics model had a higher sensitivity for detection of EMVI than subjective evaluation by radiologist (0.47 vs. 0.73, p ≤ 0.001).
CONCLUSION: Our study suggests that MRI-based radiomic models have good diagnostic value in detecting EMVI for rectal cancer patients. Nevertheless, more prospective and high-quality studies with larger sample sizes are needed in the future to validate these results.
