Prognostic analysis and establishment of a nomogram in patients with myoepithelial carcinoma of the salivary gland: A population-based study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Currently, the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of myoepithelial carcinoma of salivary gland (MC-SG) have not been defined well. The present study aimed to describe the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of MC-SG patients.

Methods

The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database was searched for all patients diagnosed with MC-SG between 1991 and 2016. The Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank tests were used to evaluate the survival. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis were used to identify prognostic biomarkers for overall survival (OS) and disease-specific survival (DSS). Furthermore, a prognostic nomogram was established, and its predictive accuracy and discriminative ability were determined using the concordan
