Abstract

  Purpose  Precision cancer medicine is dependent on accurate prediction of disease and treatment outcome, requiring integration of clinical, imaging and interventional knowledge. User controlled pipelines are capable of feature integration with varied levels of human interaction. In this work we present two pipelines designed to combine clinical, radiomic (quantified imaging), and RTx-omic (quantified radiation therapy (RT) plan) information for prediction of locoregional failure (LRF) in head and neck cancer (HN and 2) a pipeline with minimal user input that utilizes deep learning convolutional neural networks to extract and combine CT imaging, RT dose and clinical features for model development.    Results  Clinical features with logistic regression in our highly user-driven pipeline had the highest precision recall area under the curve (PR-AUC) of 0.66 (0.33–0.93), where a PR-AUC = 0.11 is considered random. CONCLUSIONS: Our work demonstrates the potential to aggregate features from multiple specialties for conditional-outcome predictions using pipelines with varied levels of human interaction. Most importantly, our results provide insights into the importance of data curation and quality, as well as user, data and methodology bias awareness as it pertains to result interpretation in user controlled pipelines.
