Response to chemotherapy in Wilms tumor

Article DOIhttps://doi.org/10.4111/icu.20240135
ObjectiveTo predict the response to preoperative chemotherapy in Wilms tumor using contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT)
AI ApproachSVM, decision tree, KNN, LR, multi-layer perceptron
Data Source(s)Single-centre institutional series (54 patients, 63 tumors with pre-/post-chemotherapy CT)
Model InputIntegrated features from pre-therapy CT: shape (sphericity, elongation, spherical harmonics), functionality-based (enhancement slopes across phases), texture from multiple phases
Model OutcomeResponse to chemotherapy (binary)
Model MetricsSVM accuracy 95%, sensitivity 96%, specificity 94%, accuracy 95%, F1 0.97
Model UsabilityCode not provided; dataset not publicly available.

AI = Artificial intelligence, SVM = Support vector machines, KNN = K-nearest neighbors, AUC = Area under the receiver operator characteristic
