Clinical and pathological characteristics of and predictive model for colorectal neuroendocrine tumors.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The incidence of colorectal neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) is increasing, causing a social burden. At present, there is no specific prognostic model for colorectal NETs. Thus, an accurate model is needed to predict the prognosis of patients with colorectal NETs.

Aim

We aimed to create a new nomogram to predict the prognosis of patients with colorectal NETs. Furthermore, we compared nomogram we established and the 8th edition of the AJCC TNM staging system in terms of prediction ability and accuracy.

Methods

A total of 3353 patients with colorectal NETs were selected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Kaplan-Meier analyses were used to assess overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS). Additionally, LASSO regres
