Gender-specific nomogram models to predict the prognosis of male and female lung adenocarcinoma patients: a population-based analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Epidemiological and clinical prognosis differences between male and female lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patients have been frequently reported. To improve prognosis determinations, gender-specific nomogram models should be developed and validated to predict the prognosis of patients with LUAD.

Methods

Using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database, LUAD patients diagnosed between 2010 and 2015 were used as SEER training and internal validation testing sets. Patients in Tianjin Chest Hospital with postoperative pathological diagnosis of LUAD from January 1, 2015 to October 1, 2016 were considered as Chinese external testing sets. Using the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank tests, we compared all the included male and female LUAD patients' overal
