Abstract Introduction  To investigate the potential prognostic value of image analysis of pelvic bone metastasis in newly diagnosed prostate cancer patients. Methods  Data from 69 patients with both bone scintigraphy and pelvic CT images were selected for this analysis. Open source software (3D Slicer version 4.8.1.) was used for image analysis. Metastatic pelvic bone lesions were manually contoured, and radiomic features were extracted. As risk factors for overall survival (OS) and cause-specific survival (CSS), 105 radiomic features and clinical risk factors including age, initial prostate-specific antigen, Gleason score, TNM stage, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), hemoglobin (Hb), alkaline phosphatase, extent of disease, visceral metastases, and radiotherapy were assessed by uni- and multivariate analyses. Results  Median follow-up was 41 months (range 0–157 months). Five-year overall survival and cause-specific survival rate were 37.9% and 43.5%, respectively. After multivariate analysis, LDH, Hb, and “maximum 2D diameter” defined as maximum tumor size in the axial plane were detected as risk factors for OS. Gleason sum, LDH, and maximum 2D diameter were detected as risk factors for CSS. Conclusion  Maximum 2D diameter was detected as a significant prognostic factor for metastatic prostate cancer patients.

Introduction Patients with metastatic prostate cancer who receive systemic treatment survive an average of approximately 5  years [1]. This survival has barely changed even in patients treated using current standards of chemotherapy [2, 3]. However, survival in these patients is highly variable depending on the metastatic site and the burden of the metastatic tumor [2, 4]. One of the reported prognostic factors for these patients is the extent of disease (EOD), based on the number of bone metastasis counted on bone scintigraphy. Other widely used prognostic factors include categories based on not only the number of bone metastases, but also metastatic site and status of visceral metastasis, as used in the CHAARTED trial [3] and STAMPEDE trial [2].
