3D Deep Learning from CT Scans Predicts Tumor Invasiveness of Subcentimeter Pulmonary Adenocarcinomas

Identification of early-stage pulmonary adenocarcinomas prior to surgery, especially in cases of sub-centimeter cancers, would be clinically important and could provide guidance to clinical decision making. In this study, we developed a deep learning system based on 3D convolutional neural networks and multi-task learning, which automatically predicts tumor invasiveness, together with 3D nodule segmentation masks. The system processes a 3D nodule-centered patch of pre-processed CT and learns a deep representation of a given nodule without the need for any additional information. A dataset of 651 nodules with manually segmented voxel-wise masks and pathological labels of atypical adenomatous hyperplasia (AAH), adenocarcinomas in situ (AIS), minimally invasive adenocarcinoma (MIA), and invasive pulmonary adenocarcinoma (IA) was used in this study. We trained and validated our deep learning system on 523 nodules and tested its performance on 128 nodules. An observer study with 2 groups of radiologists, 2 senior and 2 junior, was also investigated. We merged AAH and AIS into one single category AAH-AIS, comprising a 3-category classification in our study. The proposed deep learning system achieved better classification performance than the radiologists; in terms of 3-class weighted average F1 score, the model achieved 63.3% while the radiologists achieved 55.6%, 56.6%, 54.3%, and 51.0%, respectively. These results suggest that deep learning methods improve the yield of discriminative results and hold promise in the CADx application domain, which could help doctors work efficiently and facilitate the application of precision medicine.
