Abstract
Lung cancer is the most deadly malignancy, with distant metastasis being a major negative prognostic factor. Recently, interest is growing in imaging data as a source of predictors due to the low invasiveness of their acquisition. Using a cohort of 131 patients and a total of 356 ROIs we built a Cox regression model which predicts metastasis and time to its occurrence based on radiomic features extracted from PET/CT images. We employed several variable selection methods, including filtering based on correlation, univariate analysis, recursive elimination and LASSO, and obtained a C-index of 0.7 for the best model. This result shows that radiomic features have great potential as predictors of metastatic relapse, knowledge of which could aid clinicians in planning treatment.
