Risk Prediction for Locoregional Recurrence in Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor-Mutant Stage III-pN2 Lung Adenocarcinoma after Complete Resection: A Multi-center Retrospective Study.

ABSTRACT: Background: This study aimed to develop a predictive model based on the risk of locoregional recurrence (LRR) in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant stage III-pN2 lung adenocarcinoma after complete resection. Methods: A total of 11,020 patients with lung surgery were screened to determine completely resected EGFR-mutant stage III-pN2 lung adenocarcinoma. Patients were excluded if they received preoperative therapy or postoperative radiation therapy (PORT). The time from surgery to LRR was recorded. Clinicopathological variables with statistical significance predicting LRR in the multivariate Cox regression were incorporated into the competing risk nomogram. Patients were then sub-grouped based on different recurrence risk as a result of the nomogram.
