Abstract
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a serious disease and has a high recurrence rate after the surgery. Recently, many machine learning methods have been proposed for recurrence prediction. The methods using gene data have high prediction accuracy but require high cost. Although the radiomics signatures using only CT image are not expensive, its accuracy is relatively low. In this paper, we propose a genotype-guided radiomics method (GGR) for obtaining high prediction accuracy with low cost. We used a public radiogenomics dataset of NSCLC, which includes CT images and gene data. The proposed method is a two-step method, which consists of two models. The first model is a gene estimation model, which is used to estimate the gene expression from radiomics features and deep features extracted from computer tomography (CT) image. The second model is used to predict the recurrence using the estimated gene expression data. The proposed GGR method designed based on hybrid features which is combination of handcrafted-based and deep learning-based. The experiments demonstrated that the prediction accuracy can be improved significantly from 78.61% (existing radiomics method) and 79.14% (deep learning method) to 83.28% by the proposed GGR.
