Development and validation of a nomogram to predict cancer-specific survival of patients with large hepatocellular carcinoma accepting surgical resection: a real-world analysis based on the SEER database.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Only a small percentage of patients with large hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) can undergo surgical resection (SR) therapy while the prognosis of patients with large HCC is poor. However, innovations in surgical techniques have expanded the scope of surgical interventions accessible to patients with large HCC. Currently, most of the existing nomograms are focused on patients with large HCC, and research on patients who undergo surgery is limited. This study aimed to establish a nomogram to predict cancer-specific survival (CSS) in patients with large HCC who will undergo SR.

Methods

The study retrieved data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database encompassing patients with HCC between 2010 and 2015. Patients with large HCC accepting SR
