The most metabolically active intratumoral sub-region was identified, and radiomics features from whole tumors or sub-regional regions were used to build classification models. The dataset was split into a 7:3 ratio for training and independent testing. Feature subsets were determined by Pearson correlation and the Kruskal Wallis test and radiomics classifiers were built with support vector machines or logistic regressions. Evaluation metrics, including accuracy, area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) were employed for different classifiers. Results indicated that the sub-region-based classifier outperformed the whole-tumor classifier in terms of accuracy (73.8% vs. 66.2%), AUC (0.768 vs. 0.632), specificity (65.0% vs. 50.0%), PPV (70.2% vs. 62.2%), and NPV (78.8% vs. 74.0%).

The TMTP1 (NVVRQ) peptide has shown remarkable affinity to highly metastatic tumors and and its potential receptor is aminopeptidase P2. In this study, we have designed and synthesized a ⁶⁸Ga-labeled cyclic TMTP1 radiotracer (⁶⁸Ga-DOTA-TMTP1), for PET imaging of cervical cancer. The goal of this study was to investigate the properties of this radiotracer and its tumor diagnostic potential. The radiochemical yield of ⁶⁸Ga-DOTA-TMTP1 was high and the radiochemical purity was greater than 95%. The octanol-water partition coefficient for ⁶⁸Ga-DOTA-TMTP1 was -2.76 ± 0.08 and ⁶⁸Ga-DOTA-TMTP1 has showed excellent stability in in vitro studies. The cellular uptake and efflux of ⁶⁸Ga-DOTA-TMTP1 in paired highly metastatic and lowly metastatic cervical cancer cell line HeLa and C-33A as well as normal cervical epithelial cell line End1 were measured in a γ counter. ⁶⁸Ga-DOTA-TMTP1 exhibited higher uptake in HeLa cells than in C-33A cells. The binding to HeLa and C-33A cells could be blocked by excess TMTP1. On microPET images, HeLa tumors were clearly visualized within 60 min and the uptake of the radiotracer in HeLa tumors was higher than that of C-33A tumors. After blocking with TMTP1, HeLa tumors uptake was significantly reduced and the specificity ⁶⁸Ga-DOTA-TMTP1 was thus validated.
