摘要: 肺癌是中国最常见的恶性肿瘤之一,其死亡率在各种恶性肿瘤中居首位,其中80%~85%为非小细胞肺癌(non-small cell lung cancer, NSCLC)。随着肿瘤免疫微环境研究的深入,免疫治疗发展迅速,程序性死亡配体1 (programmed death-ligand 1, PD-L1)作为关键的免疫检查点分子,对其表达的研究显得愈发重要。PD-L1是NSCLC患者的重要预后影响因素,因此无创且高效地预测PD-L1具有重要的临床价值。随着人工智能技术的迅速发展,人工智能联合临床及传统影像学构建综合PD-L1预测模型可为NSCLC患者精确评估风险并帮助医生制定个体化的治疗方案。本文主要从计算机断层扫描(computed tomography, CT)、正电子发射体层成像(positron emission tomography, PET)及磁共振成像(magnetic resonance imaging, MRI)三个方面对影像组学与深度学习(deep learning, DL)术前预测NSCLC PD-L1表达的研究进展予以综述,旨在为医生对NSCLC患者的准确评估、治疗决策以及预后判断提供指导。
Abstract: Lung cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in China, with the highest mortality rate among various malignant tumors, of which 80%~85% are non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). With the deepening research on the tumor immune microenvironment, immunotherapy has developed rapidly. Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), as a key immune checkpoint molecule, has become increasingly important in research on its expression. PD-L1 is a significant prognostic factor for NSCLC patients, so non-invasive and efficient prediction of PD-L1 holds important clinical value. With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, integrating AI with clinical data and traditional imaging to build comprehensive PD-L1 prediction models can accurately assess risks for NSCLC patients and assist doctors in formulating personalized treatment plans. This paper mainly reviews the research progress of radiomics and deep learning (DL) in preoperative prediction of NSCLC PD-L1 expression from three perspectives: computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), aiming to provide guidance for clinicians in accurate assessment, treatment decision-making, and prognostic evaluation of NSCLC patients.
