Nomogram predicts risk and prognostic factors for lung metastasis of anaplastic thyroid carcinoma: a retrospective study in the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Lung metastasis (LM) is a frequent occurrence in patients with anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) and is often associated with a poor prognosis. However, there is currently a lack of specific research focusing on the diagnostic and prognostic evaluation of LM in ATC patients using nomograms. Consequently, the establishment of effective predictive models holds significant importance in providing guidance for clinical practice.

Methods

We screened patients from Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database between 2000 and 2018. To identify independent risk factors for LM in patients with ATC, we conducted univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. We also conducted univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analyses to i
