Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of prognosis prediction, and in particular to a prediction model for tumor radiotherapy prognosis by multi-modal information fusion. Background Art

[0002] Tumor radiotherapy (RT) is one of the important means of cancer treatment and is widely used in the treatment of various malignant tumors. However, the effect of radiotherapy varies from patient to patient. Some patients respond well to radiotherapy, while others may develop drug resistance or adverse reactions. Therefore, accurate prediction of the prognosis of tumor radiotherapy is crucial for developing personalized treatment plans and improving patient survival and quality of life. Existing tumor prognosis assessment methods mainly rely on clinical pathological characteristics (such as tumor stage, histological type, lymph node metastasis, etc.), as well as some simple biomarkers (such as serum markers). In recent years, with the development of imaging technology and molecular biology, more and more studies have shown that multimodal information fusion can more accurately assess the prognosis of tumors and provide strong support for personalized treatment.

[0003] Existing prognostic models directly use imaging features or biomarker data as input for supervised or unsupervised learning. Tumor growth is not just a process of volume increase, but is also accompanied by changes in microscopic biological behaviors such as cell proliferation, necrosis, angiogenesis, metabolic activity, and immune response. These changes in microscopic behaviors are closely related to the prognosis of tumors, but existing models usually only focus on the macroscopic characteristics of tumors and ignore the changes in these microscopic behaviors. Therefore, the model cannot fully capture the complex biological behaviors of tumors, resulting in low prediction accuracy. Summary of the invention

[0087] The latest imaging data of the patient is retrieved from the hospital's imaging database to ensure that the timestamp of the data is consistent with the current time point. Advanced image segmentation algorithms (such as deep learning models or traditional threshold segmentation methods) are used to automatically segment the tumor area in the image and extract the three-dimensional contour of the tumor. Based on the segmentation results, the volume of the tumor is calculated based on the tumor cross-sectional area and layer thickness of the current layer image. The actual tumor volume is calculated based on the latest imaging data and reflects the size of the tumor at the current time point.

[0088] Tumor volume maximum value acquisition unit: used to acquire the maximum value of the tumor volume.

[0089] The image data at each time point were segmented and the volume was calculated to obtain the tumor volume at each time point. The tumor volumes at all time points were compared and the maximum value was selected as the maximum tumor volume. The maximum tumor volume was extracted from the data at multiple time points throughout the treatment process and reflected the maximum size of the tumor during treatment.

[0099] Further, It reflects the ratio of the current tumor volume to the maximum tumor volume. When the ratio is close to 1, it means that the tumor volume is large, and when it is much smaller than When the ratio is close to 0, it means that the tumor volume is small. This ratio can intuitively reflect the relative size of the tumor and thus assess the severity of the tumor.

[0100] It is a periodic function whose value varies between (-1, 1). This part introduces periodic fluctuations and uses a sinusoidal function to simulate the periodic characteristics of tumor volume changes, which can reflect the fluctuation of tumor volume during the treatment process.

[0101] , the difference between the current tumor volume and the initial tumor volume is measured by an exponential function and normalized to the mean tumor volume. and When the difference is not large, the value of the exponential function is close to 1, indicating that the tumor volume does not change much. and When the difference is large, the value of the exponential function decreases significantly, indicating a large change in tumor volume.

[0114] , which reflects the ratio of the current tumor growth rate to the maximum tumor growth rate. , the ratio is close to 1, indicating a high tumor growth rate. , the ratio is close to 0, indicating a low tumor growth rate.

[0115] This part uses an exponential function to measure the difference between the current tumor growth rate and the average tumor growth rate and normalizes it to the standard deviation; it can capture the changing trend of tumor growth rate, especially the change relative to the average value. When G is close to , the value of the exponential function is close to 1, indicating that the tumor growth rate is close to the average value. If the difference is large, the exponential function value will decrease significantly, indicating that the tumor growth rate deviates greatly from the average value.

[0116] Cell proliferation index score calculation submodule: used to calculate the cell proliferation index score.

[0117] The cell proliferation index score calculation submodule includes the following units:

[0119] The cell proliferation index is obtained through biomarker data. Specifically, tumor tissue samples are obtained from patients during surgery or puncture. Ensure that the quality and quantity of the samples are sufficient for subsequent testing. Anti-Ki-67 antibodies are used to stain tumor tissue sections. Ki-67 is a nuclear protein that is only expressed in proliferating cells, so the cell proliferation activity can be evaluated by staining intensity and the proportion of positive cells. After the tumor tissue sections are fixed, dewaxed, and antigen repaired, anti-Ki-67 antibodies are added for incubation. Subsequently, secondary antibodies and color developers are used for color development, and finally the staining results are observed under a microscope. The proportion of Ki-67-positive cells is automatically identified and calculated using image analysis software (such as Aperio ImageScope, QuPath, etc.) to obtain the cell proliferation index:

[0121] Cell proliferation index maximum value acquisition unit: used to obtain the maximum value of the cell proliferation index.

When the PI is small, the ratio is close to 0, indicating a low cell proliferation index. This ratio can be used to intuitively reflect the relative level of the current cell proliferation index.

[0127] This part introduces periodic fluctuations through a sine function to simulate the changing trend of the cell proliferation index. , the value of the sine function fluctuates between (-1, 1). The value of the sine function will significantly affect the overall score value, causing the score value to fluctuate within a certain range. This part can capture the changing trend of the cell proliferation index, especially the change relative to the maximum value.

[0129] The necrosis area ratio score value calculation submodule includes the following units:

[0130] Necrotic area ratio acquisition unit: used to obtain the necrotic area ratio.

[0131] The proportion of necrotic area is also processed based on the segmentation results. Specifically, the radiologist or pathologist manually or semi-automatically outlines the tumor boundary and necrotic area based on professional knowledge. The overall volume of the tumor and the volume of the necrotic area are accurately measured through three-dimensional reconstruction technology. Based on the overall volume of the tumor and the volume of the necrotic area, the proportion of the necrotic area is obtained. By comparing the image data at different time points, the changes in the proportion of the necrotic area are verified to ensure the reliability of the measurement results.

[0132] Necrotic area ratio score value calculation unit; used to calculate the necrotic area ratio score value according to the necrotic area ratio, the actual tumor volume of the current patient, and the cell proliferation index:

[0135] , which reflects the influence of the proportion of necrotic area on the score value. When N is large, 1-N is close to 0, resulting in a small overall score value. When N is small, 1-N is close to 1, resulting in a large overall score value.

[0136] This part reflects the influence of tumor volume and cell proliferation index on the score value. When larger, When the cell proliferation index PI is large, the whole score is small, thus reducing the score value. is smaller, resulting in a larger overall score, thus increasing the rating value.
