Abstract

Objectives: Radiomics has a novel value in accurately and noninvasively characterizing non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but the role of peritumoral features has not been discussed in depth. This work aims to systematically assess the additional value of peritumoral features by exploring the impact of peritumoral region size. Materials and methods: A total of 370 NSCLC patients who underwent preoperative contrast-enhanced CT scans between October 2017 and September 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The study was carefully designed with a radiomics pipeline to predict lymphovascular invasion, pleural invasion, and T4 staging. To assess the impact of peritumoral features, tumor regions of interest (ROIs) annotated by two medical experts were automatically expanded to produce peritumoral ROIs of different regional sizes, with edge thicknesses of 1 mm, 3 mm, 5 mm, and 7 mm. In a custom pipeline, prediction models were constructed using peritumoral features with different margin thicknesses and intratumoral features of the primary tumor. Results: Radiomics features combining intratumoral and peritumoral regions were created based on the best features of each ROI. Models incorporating peritumoral features yielded varying degrees of improvement in AUCs compared to models using only intratumoral features. The choice of peritumoral size may impact the degree of improvement in radiomics analysis. Conclusions: The integration of peritumoral features has shown potential for improving the predictive value of radiomics. However, selecting an appropriate peritumoral region size is constrained by various factors such as clinical issues, imaging modalities, and ROI annotations. Therefore, future radiomics studies should consider these factors and optimize peritumoral features to cater to specific applications.
