A Nomogram Model to Predict Post-Progression Survival in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Patients With Recurrence After Radical Resection.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is characterized clinically by frequent recurrence, leading to a poor prognosis after radical surgery. The aim of this study was to identify a prognostic nomogram to predict the post-progression survival (PPS) of ESCC patients based on the features of primary tumor and recurrence.

Methods

A total of 234 ESCC patients who underwent recurrence after radical surgery were enrolled in this study. The independent prognostic factors screened by the univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis were subsequently used to construct a nomogram. The predictive performance of the nomogram was evaluated with the concordance index (C-index), decision curve, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and va
