Nomogram for the prediction of individualized overall survival of patients diagnosed with small cell esophageal carcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A nomogram was developed for the estimation of individualized overall survival (OS) of patients diagnosed with small cell esophageal carcinoma (SCEC).

Methods

From the SEER dataset, 427 patients diagnosed with SCEC during the period from 2004 to 2015 were selected as training sets. For the establishment of a nomogram capable of estimating the OS possibility of patients diagnosed with SCEC, a group of independent prognostic factors were identified and incorporated. The effectiveness of the nomogram was then both externally and internally verified among 159 patients from Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center (FUSCC) who were diagnosed with SCEC between 2006 and 2015. The predictive accuracy and discriminative ability of the nomogram were measured by concordance in
