Development and validation of a prognostic nomogram for patients with malignant peritoneal mesothelioma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma(MPM) is a highly aggressive malignant tumor that originates from peritoneal mesothelial cells. Due to the rarity of MPM, there are few survival prediction models specifically for visualization of malignant peritoneal mesothelioma.

Objective

This study aimed to develop a nomogram for the overall survival of MPM based on the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database and the data of Cangzhou People's Hospital were used for external verification.

Methods

Patients screened from the SEER database were divided into a training group and an internal verification group in a 7:3 ratio, with data from Cangzhou People's Hospital used as the external verification group. Cox proportional hazard regression was utilized to
