Naples Prognostic Score: A Novel Prognostic Score in Predicting Cancer-Specific Survival in Patients With Resected Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Naples prognostic score (NPS) serves as a new prognostic index based on nutritional and inflammatory status in recent years. The aim of the current study was to explore the prognostic effect of NPS and to develop and validate a reliable nomogram based on NPS for individual cancer-specific survival (CSS) prediction in patients with resected ESCC without neoadjuvant therapy.

Methods

The clinical data for 287 (Jan. 2010 to Jun. 2012, Training sets) and 118 (Jan. 2015 to Dec 2015, Validation sets) consecutive resected ESCC cases were retrospectively analyzed. Two NPS models based on the different cut-off values of parameters were compared. Cut-off values in model 1 were derived from previous published studies, while cut-off values in model 2 were obtained in this stud
