MA20.10 - Lung Cancer Prediction Using Deep Learning Software: Validation on Independent Multi-Centre Data (ID 14022)

Background
Artificial Intelligence software has shown promise in predicting malignancy in indeterminate CT detected pulmonary nodules. This study aimed to assess the accuracy of a convolutional neural network (CNN) based lung cancer prediction software on an independent dataset of indeterminate incidentally detected nodules in a retrospective European multicentre trial.
a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method
The software was trained using the US National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) dataset which was manually curated, such that each reported nodule and cancer was located, contoured and diagnostically characterised (9310 benign nodule patients; 1058 cancer patients). From this complete dataset, a training set was built by selecting all patients with solid and part-solid lesions of 6mm and above, where benign nodules and cancers could be confidently identified by clinicians (5972 patients, of which 575 were cancer patients). A CNN classifier was trained using Deep Learning on this data to produce a malignancy score per nodule. We defined a benign nodule rule-out test by calculating thresholds on the malignancy score that achieve 100% and 99.5% sensitivity on the NLST data.
The study was set up so that a malignancy score for each nodule was generated. Overall performance was evaluated using Area-Under-the-ROC-Curve analysis (AUC) and rule-out performance measured the specificity at the two thresholds, i.e. the proportion of benign nodules correctly stratified at each threshold.
There were 2201 nodules, measuring between 5-15mm from 1719 patients from three tertiary referral centres in the UK, Germany and Netherlands. The CT data included heterogeneous scan parameters, scanner manufacturers and clinical indications. Diagnostic ground-truth was established according to Fleischner or British Thoracic Society guidelines. The dataset contained 222 unique cancers from 215 patients.

AUC on all-site data was 0.92 (95%CI = 0.89-0.93) and broken down per-site the AUC was 0.97 (Netherlands, n=883, 26 cancers), 0.93 (UK, n= 698, 51 cancers), and 0.84 (Germany, 620, 145 cancers).
The score thresholds used for the target sensitivity of 100% and 99.5% were the same and achieved an overall sensitivity on the data of 99.1% with a specificity of 25.0%. Per-site results were 25.6% (Netherlands), 27.8% (UK) and 20.6% (Germany) specificity with 100%, 100% and 98.6% sensitivity respectively.
8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion
Performance of the AI software on independent European multicentre data was comparable to that achieved on the NLST training data, although there was some variability in the performance of the system across the three centres, potentially providing an opportunity for further optimisation.

P1.11-06 - Lung Cancer Probability in New Perifissural Nodules Detected in a Lung Cancer Screening Study (ID 13427)
16:45 - 18:00 | Author(s): Mieneke Rook
- Abstract
Background
In incidence lung cancer screening rounds, new lung nodules are a regular finding, with a higher lung cancer probability than baseline nodules. A substantial number of screen-detected nodules is classified as perifissural nodule (PFN). Previous studies showed that baseline PFNs and PFNs in clinical settings represent non-malignant lesions such as intrapulmonary lymph nodes. Whether this is also the case for incident PFNs is unknown. This study evaluates all newly detected nodules in the Dutch-Belgian randomized-controlled NELSON study with respect to perifissural classification and lung cancer probability.
a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method
All NELSON participants with a new solid nodule detected in screening round 2, 3 or 4 (1, 3, and 5.5 years after baseline, respectively), were enrolled in this substudy. Nodules were classified into three groups: intraparenchymal, vessel attached or fissure attached. Screening CT scans of participants with lung cancer based on a nodule classified as fissure attached, were re-evaluated by two radiologists (4 and 6 years of experience) to check whether this nodule was a typical, atypical or non-PFN. The fissure-attached cancers were matched based on size with benign cases (1:4), and the radiologists were blinded for the final nodule outcome. In case of discrepancy, a third radiologist (13 years of experience) arbitered.
4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result
1,484 new nodules were detected in the second, third and final NELSON screening round in 949 participants (77.4% male, median age 59 [interquartile range: 55-63]). 1,393 nodules (93.8%) were benign based on 2 year follow-up or pathology; 96 of these (6.9%) were fissure attached. Lung cancer diagnosis was made in 74 new nodules in 74 participants (7.8% of participants with a new nodule). Nine lung cancers (12.1%) were fissure attached and re-evaluated by the radiologists. None of the fissure attached malignant new nodules was classified as a typical or atypical PFN.
8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion
None of the lung cancers that originated from a new nodule in the NELSON study was classified as a typical or atypical PFN. Our results suggest that also in the case of a new PFN, it is highly unlikely that these PFNs will be diagnosed as lung cancer.
