Development and validation of a prognostic nomogram for bone metastasis from lung cancer: A large population-based study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Bone is one of the most common metastatic sites of advanced lung cancer, and the median survival time is significantly shorter than that of patients without metastasis. This study aimed to identify prognostic factors associated with survival and construct a practical nomogram to predict overall survival (OS) in lung cancer patients with bone metastasis (BM).

Methods

We extracted the patients with BM from lung cancer between 2011 and 2015 from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Result (SEER) database. Univariate and multivariate Cox regressions were performed to identify independent prognostic factors for OS. The variables screened by multivariate Cox regression analysis were used to construct the prognostic nomogram. The performance of the nomogram was assess
