Abstract

背景与目的 近年来,程序性细胞死亡受体1(programmed cell death 1, PD-1)/程序性细胞死亡配体1(programmed cell death ligand 1, PD-L1)免疫抑制剂为代表的免疫疗法很大程度地改变了非小细胞肺癌(non-small cell lung cancer, NSCLC)的治疗现状。目前PD-L1已经成为了筛选NSCLC免疫治疗获益人群的重要生物标志物,但是如何便捷且准确地检测NSCLC患者PD-L1是否表达是困扰临床医师的难题。本研究旨在基于18F-脱氧葡萄糖(18F-fluorodeoxy glucose, 18F-FDG)正电子发射计算机断层扫描(positron emission tomography/computed tomography, PET/CT)代谢参数构建NSCLC患者PD-L1表达的列线图预测模型并评估其预测价值。方法 回顾性收集2016年9月至2021年7月内蒙古自治区人民医院收治的155例NSCLC患者的18F-FDG PET/CT代谢参数、临床病理资料及PD-L1检测结果。将患者分为训练组(n=117)及内部验证组(n=38),按照同样的标准另收集本院2021年8月至2022年7月NSCLC患者51例作为外部验证组。然后均根据PD-L1检测结果分为PD-L1+组与PD-L1-组。对训练组患者的代谢参数及临床病理资料进行单因素及二元Logistic回归分析,基于筛选出的独立影响因素构建列线图预测模型。在训练组及内外部验证组中均通过受试者工作特征(receiver operating characteristic, ROC)曲线、校准曲线及临床决策曲线(decision curve analysis, DCA)来评估列线图模型效果。结果 二元Logistic回归分析表明,肿瘤代谢体积(metabolic tumor volume, MTV)、性别及肿瘤直径是PD-L1表达的独立影响因素,然后基于上述独立影响因素构建列线图预测模型。模型在训练组中的ROC曲线显示,曲线下面积(area under the curve, AUC)为0.769(95%CI: 0.683-0.856),最佳截断值为0.538。内部验证组的AUC为0.775(95%CI: 0.614-0.936),外部验证组的AUC为0.752(95%CI: 0.612-0.893)。校准曲线经Hosmer-Lemeshow检验结果显示,训练组(χ2=0.040, P=0.979)、内部验证组(χ2=2.605, P=0.271)及外部验证组(χ2=0.396, P=0.820)均具有良好的校准度。DCA曲线显示,模型在较大的阈值范围内(训练组:0.00-0.72,内部验证组:0.00-0.87,外部验证组:0.00-0.66)能使患者临床获益。结论 基于18F-FDG PET/CT代谢参数构建的列线图预测模型在预测NSCLC患者PD-L1表达中有较大的应用价值。

Background and objective In recent years, immunotherapy represented by programmed cell death 1 (PD-1)/programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) immunosuppressants has greatly changed the status of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatment. PD-L1 has become an important biomarker for screening NSCLC immunotherapy beneficiaries, but how to easily and accurately detect whether PD-L1 is expressed in NSCLC patients is a difficult problem for clinicians. The aim of this study was to construct a Nomogram prediction model of PD-L1 expression in NSCLC patients based on 18F-fluorodeoxy glucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/conputed tomography (PET/CT) metabolic parameters and to evaluate its predictive value. Methods Retrospective collection of 18F-FDG PET/CT metabolic parameters, clinicopathological information and PD-L1 test results of 155 NSCLC patients from Inner Mongolia People's Hospital between September 2016 and July 2021. The patients were divided into the training group (n=117) and the internal validation group (n=38), and another 51 cases of NSCLC patients in our hospital between August 2021 and July 2022 were collected as the external validation group according to the same criteria. Then all of them were categorized according to the results of PD-L1 assay into PD-L1+ group and PD-L1- group. The metabolic parameters and clinicopathological information of patients in the training group were analyzed by univariate and binary Logistic regression, and a Nomogram prediction model was constructed based on the screened independent influencing factors. The effect of the model was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration curve and decision curve analysis (DCA) in both the training group and the internal and external validation groups. Results Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that metabolic tumor volume (MTV), gender and tumor diameter were independent influences on PD-L1 expression. Then a Nomogram prediction model was constructed based on the above independent influences. The ROC curve for the model in the training group shows an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.769 (95%CI: 0.683-0.856) with an optimal cutoff value of 0.538. The AUC was 0.775 (95%CI: 0.614-0.936) in the internal validation group and 0.752 (95%CI: 0.612-0.893) in the external validation group. The calibration curves were tested by the Hosmer-Lemeshow test and showed that the training group (χ2=0.040, P=0.979), the internal validation group (χ2=2.605, P=0.271), and the external validation group (χ2=0.396, P=0.820) were well calibrated. The DCA curves show that the model provides clinical benefit to patients over a wide range of thresholds (training group: 0.00-0.72, internal validation group: 0.00-0.87, external validation group: 0.00-0.66). Conclusion The Nomogram prediction model constructed on the basis of 18F-FDG PET/CT metabolic parameters has greater application value in predicting PD-L1 expression in NSCLC patients.
