Development and validation of web-based risk score predicting prognostic nomograms for elderly patients with primary colorectal lymphoma: A population-based study.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

Primary colorectal lymphoma (PCL) is an infrequently occurring form of cancer, with the elderly population exhibiting an increasing prevalence of the disease. Furthermore, advanced age is associated with a poorer prognosis. Accurate prognostication is essential for the treatment of individuals diagnosed with PCL. However, no reliable predictive survival model exists for elderly patients with PCL. Therefore, this study aimed to develop an individualized survival prediction model for elderly patients with PCL and stratify its risk to aid in the treatment and monitoring of patients.

Methods

Patients aged 60 or older with PCL from 1975 to 2013 in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database were selected and randomly divided into a training
