Preoperative CT-based morphological heterogeneity for predicting survival in patients with colorectal cancer liver metastases after surgical resection: a retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To explore the value of preoperative CT-based morphological heterogeneity (MH) for predicting local tumor disease-free survival (LTDFS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRLM).

Methods

The latest CT data of 102 CRLM patients were retrospectively analyzed. The morphological score of each liver metastasis was obtained, and the morphological heterogeneity difference (MHD) was calculated. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn, and the cutoff value was found. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw survival curves of patients with or without MH. The Cox regression analysis was used to build the model with MH and clinical characteristics for predicting PFS.

Results

In 78 patients without
