Rethinking the prognosis model of differentiated thyroid carcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The prediction efficiency of long-term cancer-specific survival (CSS) in guiding the treatment of differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) patients is still unsatisfactory. We need to refine the system so that it more accurately correlates with survival.

Methods

This is a retrospective study using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database, and included patients who underwent surgical treatment and were diagnosed with DTC from 2004 to 2020. Patients were divided into a training cohort (2004-2015) and validation cohort (2016-2020). Decision tree methodology was used to build the model in the training cohort. The newly identified groups were verified in the validation cohort.

Results

DTC patient totals of 52,917 and 48,896 were included in
