Medical Context

The Breast Cancer Treatment

According to the World Health Organization’s 2022 statistics:

  • 670,000 deaths worldwide in 2022
  • 50 % of breast cancer cases occur in women without specific risk factors other than gender and age
  • Most common cancer among women in 157 out of 185 countries

→ Research to improve the treatment.

The Breast Cancer Treatment

Can be summarized into three main components:

  • Surgery to remove tumor
  • Radiation therapy to prevent recurrence
  • Chemotherapy to prevent cancer spread

Radiotherapy by Seo et al. (2019)

→ We focus on radiation therapy.

Breast Radiotherapy

Involves several steps:

  • Treatment planning
  • Centering CT scan acquisition
  • Organs at Risk contouring
  • Dose optimization
  • Validation and treatment

Radiotherapy treatment

Breast Radiotherapy

Is a complex treatment:

  • Wide variability in side effects
  • Dose is planned once before treatment
  • followed by 5-7 weeks of treatment

Radiotherapy treatment

What about breast changes during treatment?

Breast Radiotherapy

Clinical experience showed changes in breast shape during treatment.

→ We want to learn more about such changes:

  • How much does the treated breast change during the treatment?

  • Does it impact the radiation dose?

  • Is the initially planned dose still optimal for a given session?

ICANS data

The ICANS clinical trial

Objective: Study morphological changes in breast during radiotherapy and their effect on administrated dose.

  • Conducted from 02/22/2018 to 05/07/2020 at the Centre Paul Strauss
  • 60 patients, 33 irradiation sessions
  • Using a hand-held, optical, non-ionizing surface scanner
  • 11 additional surfaces, acquired before, during and after treatment

ICANS clinical trial patient information

Patient Data used

Various representations of the patient bust:

  • Point Cloud (left)
  • Voxels (center)
  • Dense mesh (right)

ICANS patient data

→ This data comes with challenges.

Challenges

Surfaces are not initially aligned:

Challenges

Bust coverage changes across acquisitions:

Raw data: Acquisitions B and S1

Challenges

No correspondence between the various surfaces:

Raw data: Acquisitions B and S1

→ No ground truth correspondences.

Challenges

→ Our approach to deal with these challenges.

Our Approach

Objective & Constraints

Objective: Assist clinicians in measuring breast changes during treatment by using ICANS data.

Constraints:

  • Partial correspondences
  • Shape collections analysis
  • Robust to noise
  • Efficient

ICANS data

Approach

Three main steps:

  1. Find correspondences between patient surfaces
  2. Model breast and bust changes from correspondences
  3. Measure dosimetric impact of breast changes

Approach

We developed and implemented a contribution for each step:

  1. Groupwise correspondence refinement with a ROI focus (Galmiche and Seo (2023))
  2. Intra- and inter- patient shape analysis approaches
    (to be submitted)
  3. Estimation of the dosimetric impact of the computed breast deformations (Arbor et al. (2024))

Approach: Some background work

Extensive research has been conducted on various approaches:

  • Large Deformation Diffeomorphic Metric Mapping (LDDMM)
  • Deep Learning (DL) frameworks
  • Functional Maps
  • Hybrid approaches: LDDMM + DL …

→ We chose the Functional Maps approach.

Functional Maps: Our choice for ICANS data

Many advantages:

  • Compact shape and correspondences representations
  • Efficient optimization, even on partial/dense data
  • Offers powerful intrinsic analysis tools
  • Easily integrates with other approaches

→ What are Functional Maps?

  • \(\{f, g\} \implies A, B\)

Spectral Coefficients by Ovsjanikov et al. (2016)

→ \(C^* = arg\,min_{C} \left\lVert CA - B \right\rVert^2 + E_{reg}(C)\)
