Development and validation of web-based dynamic nomograms predictive of disease-free and overall survival in patients who underwent pneumonectomy for primary lung cancer

ABSTRACT:

Background

The tumour-node-metastasis (TNM) staging system is insufficient to precisely distinguish the long-term survival of patients who underwent pneumonectomy for primary lung cancer. Therefore, this study sought to identify determinants of disease-free (DFS) and overall survival (OS) for incorporation into web-based dynamic nomograms.

Methods

The clinicopathological variables, surgical methods and follow-up information of 1,261 consecutive patients who underwent pneumonectomy for primary lung cancer between January 2008 and December 2018 at Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center were collected. Nomograms for predicting DFS and OS were built based on the significantly independent predictors identified in the training cohort (n = 1,009) and then were tested on the valida
