The invention discloses a method for predicting
small cell lung cancer immunotherapy effect based on CT
radiomics. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, carrying out
lung enhancement CT scanning on a
small cell lung cancer patient receiving
immunotherapy before and
after treatment, extracting
radiomics characteristics and calculating
delta-RF; in the aspect of model construction, 1037
radiomics features are extracted, and the model is constructed through a series of
processing. The model display includes a variety of predictive indicators, such as an overall lifetime (OS), a progression-free lifetime (PFS), a
complete remission (CR), a partial remission (PR), a column diagram, a
consistency index, a subject working characteristic curve and its underlying area, a
calibration curve, and a
clinical decision curve. The model has a high C index and an AUC value for PFS and OS prediction, the AUC for
curative effect prediction is 0.913, and a
calibration curve is close to an ideal line. Compared with a prediction scheme based on NGS sequencing, the method has the advantages of being low in cost, non-invasive, efficient, dynamic, accurate and the like, and the image
omics concept is used for predicting the
curative effect of SCLC
immunotherapy for the first time.
