A clinical model to predict distant metastasis in patients with superficial gastric cancer with negative lymph node metastasis and a survival analysis for patients with metastasis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Distant metastasis (DM) is relatively rare in superficial gastric cancer (SGC), especially in patients without lymph node metastasis. This study aimed to explore the main clinical risk factors for DM in patients with superficial gastric cancer-no lymph node metastasis (SGC-NLNM) and the prognostic factors for patients with DM.

Methods

Records of patients with SGC-NLNM between 2004 and 2015 were collected from the public Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Both univariate and multivariate logistic regressions were performed to analyze the clinical risk factors for DM. The Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression model were used to identify prognostic factors for patients with DM. A nomogram was built based on multivariate logistic regression
