Development and validation of a nomogram to predict lung metastasis in patients with testicular germ cell tumors.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Lung metastatic tumor (LM) is one of testicular germ cell tumors' most common metastatic sites. Our study aimed to develop a nomogram for predicting the risk of LM among patients with testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs).

Methods

Clinicopathological information of 4078 patients with TGCT between 2010 and 2015 was obtained from SEER. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify risk factors for LM, and a nomogram was developed based on these factors. Calibration curves, area under the receiver operating curve (AUC), and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to evaluate the accuracy and discrimination of the model.

Results

Study participants included 4078 people with TGCTs, including 305 people with LM. They were random
