| Abstract | To establish a multidimensional nomogram model for predicting progression-free survival (PFS) and risk stratification in patients with advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). This retrospective cross-sectional study included 156 patients with advanced NPC who underwent dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI). Radiomic features were extracted from the efflux rate constant (Ktrans) and extracellular extravascular volume (Ve) mapping derived from DCE-MRI. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) Cox regression analysis was applied for feature selection. The Radscore was constructed using the selected features with their respective weights in the LASSO Cox regression analysis. A nomogram model combining the Radscore and clinical factors was built using multivariate Cox regression analysis. The C-index was used to assess the discrimination power of the Radscore and nomogram. The Kaplan–Meier method was used for survival analysis. Of the 360 radiomic features, 28 were selected (7, 6, and 15 features extracted from Ktrans, Ve, and Ktrans+Ve images, respectively). The combined RadscoreKtrans+Ve (C-index, 0.703, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.571–0.836) showed higher efficacy in predicting the prognosis of advanced NPC than RadscoreKtrans (C-index, 0.693; 95% CI, 0.560–0.826) and RadscoreVe (C-index, 0.614; 95% CI, 0.481–0.746) did. Multivariable Cox regression analysis revealed clinical stage, T stage, and treatment with nimotuzumab as risk factors for PFS. The nomogram established by RadscoreKtrans+Ve and risk factors (C-index, 0.732; 95% CI: 0.599–0.864) was better than RadsocreKtrans+Ve in predicting PFS in patients with advanced NPC. A lower RadscoreKtrans+Ve (HR 3.5584, 95% CI 2.1341–5.933), lower clinical stage (hazard ratio [HR] 1.5982, 95% CI 0.5262–4.854), lower T stage (HR 1.4365, 95% CI 0.6745–3.060), and nimotuzumab (NTZ) treatment (HR 0.7879, 95% CI 0.4899–1.267) were associated with longer PFS. Kaplan–Meier analysis showed a lower PFS in the high-risk group than in the low-risk group (p <0.0001). The nomogram based on combined pretreatment DCE-MRI radiomics features, NTZ, and clinicopathological risk factors may be considered as a noninvasive imaging marker for predicting individual PFS in patients with advanced NPC. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
