Preoperative Scoring System for Predicting Microvascular Invasion in Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma Using Gadoxetate-Enhanced MRI.
European radiology(2025)
Abstract
OBJECTIVES:To develop a preoperative risk scoring system to predict microvascular invasion (MVI) in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICCA) by incorporating clinical and gadoxetate-enhanced MRI features. MATERIALS AND METHODS:We retrospectively enrolled 197 consecutive patients with ICCA who underwent preoperative gadoxetate-enhanced MRI and curative surgical resection between 2009 and 2016. The patients were randomly divided into a development set (n = 139) and a validation set (n = 58). Two radiologists independently reviewed the MRI features. A risk scoring system to predict MVI was developed using multivariable logistic regression analysis, and its diagnostic performance was validated. Recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) were analyzed based on the MVI risk. RESULTS:Gadoxetate-enhanced MRI features that were independently associated with MVI included tumor multiplicity (odds ratio (OR) 3.37, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.37-8.28, p = 0.008), arterial-phase peritumoral enhancement (OR 4.47, 95% CI: 1.87-10.70, p = 0.001), and hepatobiliary-phase peritumoral hypointensity (OR 2.96, 95% CI: 1.29-6.77, p = 0.010). Using these features, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the scoring system was 0.80 (95% CI: 0.72-0.87) in the development cohort and 0.84 (95% CI: 0.74-0.94) in the validation cohort. ICCA patients at high risk for MVI exhibited significantly shorter RFS and OS compared to those at low risk for MVI in both cohorts (p ≤ 0.031). CONCLUSION:The risk scoring system based on gadoxetate-enhanced MRI features effectively predicted the risk of MVI in patients with ICCA, facilitating the preoperative identification of patients who are likely to have poorer survival outcomes following curative resection. KEY POINTS:Question Microvascular invasion (MVI) is a well-established adverse prognostic factor in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICCA). However, the preoperative prediction of MVI using gadoxetate-enhanced MRI remains unexplored. Findings A risk scoring system based on gadoxetate-enhanced MRI was developed, effectively predicting MVI in ICCA and linking high MVI risk to significantly poorer survival outcomes following resection. Clinical releveance This scoring system enables the accurate assessment of MVI risk in ICCA and provides valuable prognostic insights for patients undergoing curative surgery. Its use can help clinicians develop personalized treatment strategies to improve patient outcomes.

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
