Clinical characteristics, survival and prognostic nomogram for patients with esophageal mucinous adenocarcinoma: a SEER population-based analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Esophageal mucinous adenocarcinoma (MAC) is a rare adenocarcinoma (AC) subtype. Limited research exists on its incidence, survival rates, and treatment responses. This study utilized the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database to compare the clinical characteristics and prognoses of patients with esophageal MAC, AC, and signet-ring cell carcinoma (SRC), and developed nomograms to predict outcomes.

Methods

Patient information was retrieved from the SEER database from 2004 to 2015. The baseline characteristics were balanced using propensity score matching (PSM). Prognostic factors for esophageal MAC patients were identified by univariate and multivariate Cox analyses.

Results

A total of 497 esophageal MAC, 21,109 esophageal AC and 1,144 es
