TCIA NSCLC-Radiomics-Genomics Lung3

Overview

The Lung3 collection is a radiogenomics cohort of 89 NSCLC patients at MAASTRO Clinic (Maastricht, Netherlands) with matched pretreatment CT imaging and whole-genome Affymetrix gene expression profiling (HuRSTA_2a520709 array, 21,766 genes). It was used by Aerts et al. 2014 to link radiomic features to gene sets via GSEA, demonstrating that intratumour-heterogeneity radiomic features correlate with cell-cycling / proliferation pathways. Publicly available on TCIA as NSCLC-Radiomics-Genomics. PMID:24892406

Composition

  • Cancer type: NSCLC, n=89.
  • Modality: CT (pretreatment) + Affymetrix HuRSTA_2a520709 gene expression microarray (21,766 genes).
  • Annotations: manual tumour delineations; gene-set enrichment analysis (GSEA) against MSigDB C5/GO collection at FDR ≤20%.
  • Role in Aerts 2014: radiogenomics arm; the only cohort used for molecular correlations. PMID:24892406

Assays / panels (linked)

  • CT radiomics — 440-feature library.
  • Gene expression microarray (Affymetrix HuRSTA_2a520709).

Papers using this cohort

  • PMID:24892406 — Aerts et al. 2014, Nature Communications: Lung3 used for GSEA-based radiogenomics; all four signature features show enriched gene sets; heterogeneity features (III and IV) correlate with cell-cycling pathways.

Notable findings derived from this cohort

  • All four features of the locked radiomic signature showed significant GSEA enrichment against the MSigDB C5 GO gene-set collection (FDR ≤20%) in Lung3. PMID:24892406
  • The two intratumour-heterogeneity features (Grey Level Nonuniformity and wavelet Grey Level Nonuniformity HLH) correlated with cell-cycling / proliferation pathways, suggesting that more heterogeneous CT phenotypes reflect higher tumour proliferation. PMID:24892406
