Objectives: Although the preoperative assessment of whether a bladder cancer (BCa) indicates muscular invasion is crucial for adequate treatment, there currently exist some challenges involved in preoperative diagnosis of BCa with muscular invasion. The aim of this study was to construct deep learning radiomic signature (DLRS) for preoperative predicting the muscle invasion status of BCa.

Methods: A retrospective review covering 173 patients revealed 43 with pathologically proven muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) and 130 with non–muscle–invasive bladder cancer (non- MIBC). A total of 129 patients were randomly assigned to the training cohort and 44 to the test cohort. The Pearson correlation coefficient combined with the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) was utilized to reduce radiomic redundancy. To decrease the dimension of deep learning features, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was adopted. Six machine learning classifiers were finally constructed based on deep learning radiomics features, which were adopted to predict the muscle invasion status of bladder cancer. The area under the curve (AUC), accuracy, sensitivity and specificity were used to evaluate the performance of the model.

Results: According to the comparison, DLRS-based models performed the best in predicting muscle violation status, with MLP (Train AUC: 0.973260 (95% CI 0.9488-0.9978) and Test AUC: 0.884298 (95% CI 0.7831-0.9855)) outperforming the other models. In the test cohort, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the MLP model were 0.91 (95% CI 0.551-0.873), 0.78 (95% CI 0.594-0.863) and 0.58 (95% CI 0.729-0.827), respectively. DCA indicated that the MLP model showed better clinical utility than Radiomics-only model, which was demonstrated by the decision curve analysis.

Conclusions: A deep radiomics model constructed with CT images can accurately predict the muscle invasion status of bladder cancer.
