Development and validation of a nomogram for predicting the overall survival of patients with testicular cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a nomogram to predict survival in testicular cancer patients.

Methods

Testicular cancer patients diagnosed between 2004 and 2015 from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database were selected for this study. A random sampling method was used to divide patients into training and validation cohorts, which accounted for 30% and 70% of the total sample, respectively. The nomogram was developed using the training cohort and evaluated using the C index, calibration chart, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC).

Results

Seven risk factors that affect the survival of testicular cancer patients (AJCC stage, marital status, age at diagnosis, race, SEER historic stage A
