Background: To identify predictive value of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based radiomics for all recurrences in patients with endometrial carcinoma (EC).Methods: One hundred and seventy-four EC patients who were treated with operation and followed up in our institution were retrospectively reviewed. Baseline clinicopathological features and ADC values were analyzed. Radiomic parameters were extracted on T2 weighted imaging and screened by logistic regression, and then a radiomics signature was developed to calculate the radiomic score (radscore). Kaplan–Meier analysis was performed and a Cox regression model was used to evaluate the correlation between clinicopathological features, ADC values and radiology with recurrence.Results: ADC values showed inverse correlation with recurrence, while radscore was positively associated with recurrence. In univariate analyses, FIGO stage, pathological types, myometrial invasion, lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI), ADC value and radscore were associated with recurrence. In multivariate Cox analysis, pathological types, ADC and radscore were independent risk factors for recurrence.Conclusions: ADC value and radscore were independent predictors of recurrence of EC, which can supplement prognostic information in addition to clinicopathological information and provide basis for individualized treatment and follow-up plan.
