Prognostic factors for laryngeal sarcoma and nomogram development for prediction: a retrospective study based on SEER database.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Laryngeal sarcoma is an extremely rare malignant tumor of larynx and usually reported as case reports or small series. At present, there is no research based on big data about the prognostic factors affecting laryngeal sarcoma. Our study aimed to investigate the prognostic survival factors of laryngeal sarcoma and develop a comprehensive nomogram for predicting the survival of laryngeal sarcoma.

Methods

Data were obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database to find patients diagnosed with laryngeal sarcoma from 1998 to 2016. The data were obtained using SEER Stat 8.3.5 software, collated, and analyzed by Excel 2016 software and SPSS (v25.0). Kaplan-Meier curves were used for survival analysis. The variables obtained by univariate a
