Nomogram-Based Prediction of Overall and Disease-Specific Survival in Patients With Postoperative Major Salivary Gland Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Background : The major salivary gland squamous cell carcinoma is a rare head and neck tumor, often accompanied by lymph node metastasis. Even if the patient undergoes surgery, the prognosis remains unsatisfactory. To explore the prognostic factors of postoperative major salivary gland squamous cell carcinoma to establish a prognostic risk stratification model to guide clinical practice. Methods: Patients' information was retrieved from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database from 2004 to 2018. Optimal cutoff points were determined using X-tile software, and overall survival and disease-specific survival were calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method. Independent prognostic factors affecting the overall survival and disease-specific survival were identified by mul
