Development and External Validation of a Nomogram for Predicting Cancer-Specific Survival of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients With Ipsilateral Pleural Dissemination.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with ipsilateral pleural dissemination are defined as M1a in the eighth of American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) TNM staging. We aimed to build a nomogram to predict lung cancer specific survival (LCSS) of NSCLC patients with ipsilateral pleural dissemination and to compare the impact of primary tumor resection (PTR) on LCSS among patients with different features.

Methods

A total of 3,918 NSCLC patients with ipsilateral pleural dissemination were identified from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. We selected and integrated significant prognostic factors based on competing risk regression to build a nomogram. The model was subjected to internal validation within SEER cohort and external v
