Predicting the survival rate of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma after thermal ablation by nomograms.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To accurately predict the survival rate of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) undergoing thermal ablation using nomograms taking early recurrence into account as a risk factor.

Methods

A total of 591 patients receiving percutaneous thermal ablation were included in this study. The overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) rate was analyzed. Two prognostic nomograms with or without taking early recurrence into account as a risk factor were constructed using the independent predictors assessed by the multivariate Cox proportional hazard model. The performance of the nomograms, in terms of discrimination and calibration, was evaluated.

Results

The cumulative RFS and OS rates at 1-, 3- and 5-year are 82.2%, 52.5%and 38.4%, 96.6%, 83.6%
