Background: Chemoradiation is the standard of care for human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC). However, not all patients would benefit from chemotherapy, especially patients with low-risk characteristics. We aim to develop and validate a prognostic and predictive radiomic image signature (pRiS) to inform survival and chemotherapy benefit in stage I and stage II HPV-associated OPSCC. Methods: Radiographic scans for 491 patients with stage I and stage II HPV-associated OPSCC were acquired from 4 independent sources and divided into three cohorts D1-D3. D1 comprised computed tomography (CT) scans from 60 radiotherapy treated patients and was used to identify prognostic features via a LASSO Cox model to predict overall and disease-free survival. The prognostic performance of pRiS was evaluated on two test sets (D2, n = 162; D3, n = 269) using concordance index (C-index). An integrated nomogram was developed to demonstrate the incremental value of the pRiS to the existing clinical factors for individualized survival estimation. Patients from D2 and D3 who received either radiotherapy alone or chemoradiation were used to validate pRiS as predictive of added benefit of chemotherapy. Results: Seven radiomic features were selected to construct the image biomarker pRiS, which was found to be prognostic of overall survival (OS) on univariate analysis in D2 (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.14, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.1–4.16, p = 0.02) and D3 (HR = 2.74, 95% CI, 1.34–5.62, p = 0.006). Chemotherapy was associated with improved OS for high-pRiS patients in both D2 (radiation vs chemoradiation, HR = 4.47, 95% CI, 1.73–11.6, p = 0.002) and D3 (radiation vs chemoradiation, HR = 2.99, 95% CI, 1.04–8.63, p = 0.04). In contrast, chemotherapy did not improve OS for low-pRiS patients, which indicates these patients did not derive additional benefit from chemotherapy and could be considered for treatment de-escalation. Conclusions: The proposed radiomic signature was prognostic of patient survival and the binary pRiS group informed chemotherapy benefit for stage I and II HPV-associated OPSCC patients.
