PURPOSE: To develop a MRI-based radiomics model, integrating the intratumoral and peritumoral imaging information to predict axillary lymph node metastasis (ALNM) in patients with breast cancer and to elucidate the model's decision-making process via interpretable algorithms.
METHODS: This study included 376 patients from three institutions who underwent contrast-enhanced breast MRI between 2021 and 2023. We used multiple machine learning algorithms to combine peritumoral, intratumoral, and radiological characteristics with the building of radiological, radiomics, and combined models. The model's performance was compared based on the area under the curve (AUC) obtained from the receiver operating characteristic analysis and interpretable machine learning techniques to analyze the operating mechanism of the model.
RESULTS: The radiomics model, incorporating features from both intratumoral tissue and the 3 mm peritumoral region and utilizing the backpropagation neural network (BPNN) algorithm, demonstrated superior diagnostic efficacy, achieving an AUC of 0.820. The AUC of the combination of the RAD score, clinical T stage, and spiculated margin was as high as 0.855. Furthermore, we conducted SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) analysis to evaluate the contributions of RAD score, clinical T stage, and spiculated margin in ALNM status prediction.
CONCLUSIONS: The interpretable radiomics model we propose can better predict the ALNM status of breast cancer and help inform clinical treatment decisions.
