Purpose This retrospective study was undertaken to assess the predictive efficacy of 18F-FDG PET/CT -derived radiomic features concerning the co-mutation status of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and TP53 in LUAD. Methods A cohort of 150 LUAD patients underwent pretreatment 18F-FDG PET/CT scans with known mutation status of EGFR and TP53 were collected. The feature extraction based on their PET/CT images utilized the Pyradiomics package based on the 3D Slicer. The optimal radiomic features were selected through correlation analysis and the Gradient Boosting Decision Tree (GBDT) algorithm, followed by the construction of the radiomic model. The clinical model incorporated meaningful clinical variables, whereas the complex model integrated both the radiomic and clinical models. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) facilitated the comparison of prediction performance across the three models. The DCA gauged the clinical utility of these models. Results The patient cohort was randomly allocated into a training set (n = 105) and a validation set (n = 45) in a 7:3 ratio. Eleven PET and eleven CT optimal radiomic features were selected to construct the radiomic model. The model showed a good ability to discriminate the co-occurrence of EGFR and TP53, with AUC equal to 0.850 in the training set, and 0.748 in the validation set, compared with 0.750 and 0.626 for the clinical model. The complex model exhibited the highest AUC values, with 0.880 and 0.794 in both sets, but there were no significant differences compared to the radiomic model. The DCA revealed favorable clinical value.
