NIMG-47. MULTI-INSTITUTIONAL VALIDATION OF AN AI-BASED MODEL FOR PREDICTION OF TUMOR INFILTRATION AND FUTURE RECURRENCE IN PATIENTS WITH GLIOBLASTOMA: RESULTS FROM THE RESPOND CONSORTIUM
Abstract BACKGROUND Glioblastoma is an infiltrative primary brain tumor with poor prognosis despite multimodal therapy. Recurrence is inevitable secondary to tumor cell infiltration in the peritumoral tissues, beyond contrast enhancing margins, which is the target for surgical resection. We hypothesize that a machine learning model constructed from a diverse, inter-institutional dataset can improve accuracy of generated tumor infiltration maps, thus guiding precision targeted therapies. METHODS 731 MRI scans of treatment-naïve glioblastoma patients from 10 institutions were included. All patients had pre-operative multiparametric-MRI (T1, T1Gd, T2, T2-FLAIR, ADC), and underwent complete resection of the enhancing tumor followed by standard-of-care chemoradiotherapy. 42 patients were used as an independent validation set, and 689 were used for training. Of these 239 patients had histopathologically confirmed recurrence with corresponding MRI scans, which were used as ground-truth for evaluating the location of recurrence using a leave-one-site-out (LSO) method. An AI model combining deep learning and SVM was used to develop a predictive model for infiltration. We validated the generalizability of our results in an unseen, multi-institutional data set. RESULTS Our model predicted locations of recurrence with odds ratio (99% CI) 37.6 (37.1-38.1) on the LSO testing set and 24.3 (23.4-25.2) on the validation set, indicating that areas labeled highly infiltrated were over 37 and 24 times more likely to coincide with future recurrence respectively. CONCLUSIONS We demonstrate that AI-based pattern analysis from multiparametric-MRI can predict tumor infiltration in peritumoral regions with high likelihood of recurrence by decrypting the visually imperceptible heterogeneity of peritumoral tissue. Model performance improved from training on a larger/diverse dataset and combining results of multiple AI methods. Independent validation confirmed the model’s ability to generalize to unseen data. We believe this will serve to advance AI-based biomarkers for predicting future recurrence and facilitate development of multi-modal targeted therapies in this era of precision neuro-oncology.
