    Abstract Sarcomatoid differentiation in RCC (sRCC) is associated with a poor prognosis, necessitating more aggressive management than RCC without sarcomatoid components (nsRCC). Since suspected renal cell carcinoma (RCC) tumors are not routinely biopsied for histologic evaluation, there is a clinical need for a non-invasive method to detect sarcomatoid differentiation pre-operatively. We utilized unsupervised self-organizing map (SOM) and supervised Learning Vector Quantizer (LVQ) machine learning to classify RCC tumors on T2-weighted, non-contrast T1-weighted fat-saturated, contrast-enhanced arterial-phase T1-weighted fat-saturated, and contrast-enhanced venous-phase T1-weighted fat-saturated MRI images. The SOM was trained on 8 nsRCC and 8 sRCC tumors, and used to compute Activation Maps for each training, validation (3 nsRCC and 3 sRCC), and test (5 nsRCC and 5 sRCC) tumor. The LVQ classifier was trained and optimized on Activation Maps from the 22 training and validation cohort tumors, and tested on Activation Maps of the 10 unseen test tumors. In this preliminary study, the SOM-LVQ model achieved a hold-out testing accuracy of 70% in the task of identifying sarcomatoid differentiation in RCC on standard multiparameter MRI (mpMRI) images. We have demonstrated a combined SOM-LVQ machine learning approach that is suitable for analysis of limited mpMRI datasets for the task of differential diagnosis.

    Abstract Objectives: Immune-checkpoint blockades have exhibited durable responses and improved long-term survival in a subset of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. However, highly predictive markers of positive and negative responses to immunotherapy are a significant unmet clinical need. The objective of this study was to identify clinical and computational image-based predictors of rapid disease progression phenotypes in NSCLC patients treated with immune-checkpoint blockades.
    Materials and methods: Using time-to-progression (TTP) and/or tumor growth rates, rapid disease progression phenotypes were developed including hyperprogressive disease. The pre-treatment baseline predictors that were used to identify these phenotypes included patient demographics, clinical data, driver mutations, hematology data, and computational image-based features (radiomics) that were extracted from pre-treatment computed tomography scans. Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE) was used to subsample minority groups to eliminate classification bias. Patient-level probabilities were calculated from the final clinical-radiomic models to subgroup patients by progression-free survival (PFS).
    Results: Among 228 NSCLC patients treated with single agent or double agent immunotherapy, we identified parsimonious clinical-radiomic models with modest to high ability to predict rapid disease progression phenotypes with area under the receiver-operator characteristics ranging from 0.804 to 0.865. Patients who had TTP < 2 months or hyperprogressive disease were classified with 73.41% and 82.28% accuracy after SMOTE subsampling, respectively. When the patient subgroups based on patient-level probabilities were analyzed for survival outcomes, patients with higher probability scores had significantly worse PFS.
    Conclusions: The models found in this study have potential important translational implications to identify highly vulnerable NSCLC patients treated with immunotherapy that experience rapid disease progression and poor survival outcomes.

    Abstract Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage is a potentially fatal pulmonary disease syndrome that affects individuals with hematological and nonhematological malignancies. The range of inciting factors is wide for this syndrome and includes thrombocytopenia, underlying infection, coagulopathy, and the frequent use of anticoagulants, given the high incidence of venous thrombosis in this population. Dyspnea, fever, and cough are commonly presenting symptoms. However, clinical manifestations can be variable. Obvious bleeding (hemoptysis) is not always present and can pose a potential diagnostic challenge. Without prompt treatment, hypoxia that rapidly progresses to respiratory failure can occur. Diagnosis is primarily based on radiological and bronchoscopic findings. This syndrome is especially common in patients with hematological malignancies, given an even greater propensity for thrombocytopenia as a result of bone marrow suppression as well as the often prolonged immunosuppression in this patient population. The syndrome also has an increased incidence in individuals with hematological malignancies who have received a bone marrow transplant. We present a case series of 5 patients with acute myeloid leukemia presenting with diffuse alveolar hemorrhage at our institution. A comparison of clinical manifestations, radiographic findings, treatment course, and outcomes are described. A review of the literature and general overview of the diagnostic evaluation, differential diagnoses, pathophysiology, and treatment of this syndrome are discussed.

    Abstract Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) are precursor lesions to pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma that are challenging to manage due to limited imaging, cytologic, and molecular markers that accurately classify lesions, grade of dysplasia, or focus of invasion preoperatively. The objective of this pilot study was to determine the frequency and type of DNA mutations in a cohort of surgically resected, pathologically confirmed IPMN, and to determine if concordant mutations are detectable in paired pretreatment plasma samples. Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue from 46 surgically resected IPMNs (31 low-grade, 15 high-grade) and paired plasma from a subset of 15 IPMN cases (10 low-grade, 5 high-grade) were subjected to targeted mutation analysis using a QIAseq Targeted DNA Custom Panel. Common driver mutations were detected in FFPE from 44 of 46 (95.6%) IPMN cases spanning all grades; the most common DNA mutations included: KRAS (80%), RNF43 (24%), and GNAS (43%). Of note, we observed a significant increase in the frequency of RNF43 mutations from low-grade to high-grade IPMNs associated or concomitant with invasive carcinoma (trend test, P = 0.01). Among the subset of cases with paired plasma, driver mutations identified in the IPMNs were not detected in circulation. Overall, our results indicate that mutational burden for IPMNs is a common occurrence, even in low-grade IPMNs. Furthermore, although blood-based biopsies are an attractive, noninvasive method for detecting somatic DNA mutations, the QIAseq panel was not sensitive enough to detect driver mutations that existed in IPMN tissue using paired plasma in the volume we were able to retrieve for this retrospective study.

    Abstract Chemotherapy remains a primary treatment for metastatic cancer, with tumor response being the benchmark outcome marker. However, therapeutic response in cancer is unpredictable due to heterogeneity in drug delivery from systemic circulation to solid tumors. In this proof-of-concept study, we evaluated chemotherapy concentration at the tumor-site and its association with therapy response by applying a mathematical model. By using pre-treatment imaging, clinical and biologic variables, and chemotherapy regimen to inform the model, we estimated tumor-site chemotherapy concentration in patients with colorectal cancer liver metastases, who received treatment prior to surgical hepatic resection with curative-intent. The differential response to therapy in resected specimens, measured with the gold-standard Tumor Regression Grade (TRG; from 1, complete response to 5, no response) was examined, relative to the model predicted systemic and tumor-site chemotherapy concentrations. We found that the average calculated plasma concentration of the cytotoxic drug was essentially equivalent across patients exhibiting different TRGs, while the estimated tumor-site chemotherapeutic concentration (eTSCC) showed a quadratic decline from TRG = 1 to TRG = 5 (

    Abstract It is unclear if persistent splenomegaly in the presence of a negative positron emission tomography (PET) scan before allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) influences post-transplantation outcomes in patients with lymphoma. We retrospectively reviewed records of 152 patients who underwent allogeneic HCT for various lymphomas. Centralized review of pretransplantation computed tomography (CT) and PET images was performed. Spleen volume (SV) was measured using the freehand volume segmentation tool in AW Workstation software (General Electric, Waukesha, WI). Splenic index (SI) was calculated as a product of width, thickness, and length of the spleen. Normal SV was defined as SV < 314.5 cm
