Prognostic risk factor analysis and nomogram construction for primary liver cancer in elderly patients based on SEER database.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate the risk factors and construct a nomogram model for the prognosis of primary liver cancer in the elderly based on the data from the US SEER database.

Methods

The latest data of patients with primary liver cancer were extracted from the SEER database using SEER*STAT software, and the required variables were included. The data were screened and then divided into a training cohort and a validation cohort. A nomogram model was constructed by screening the variables through univariate and multivariate Cox analysis. The C-Index, ROC and calibration curves were used for model evaluation.

Results

A total of 10 824 eligible cases from 2004 to 2017 were extracted, among which, 7757 cases were included in the training cohort and 3247 in the validation cohort. The C-Index of the model was 0.747 (in the training cohort) and 0.773 (in the validation cohort). The 3-year area under the curve (AUCs) of the training and the validation cohorts were 0.760 and 0.750, and the 5-year AUCs of the two cohorts were 0.761 and 0.748. The calibration curves showed an ideal calibration of the constructed model.

Conclusions

The nomogram model constructed followed by Cox regression analysis showed moderate calibration and discrimination property, and can provide reference to a certain extent for furture clinical application of primary liver cancer in the elderly.

Project description:BackgroundThe incidence of elderly-onset pancreatic neuroendocrine carcinoma (PanNEC) is increasing. This study investigated independent risk factors affecting cancer-specific survival (CSS) and constructed a nomogram to predict CSS in patients with elderly-onset PanNEC.MethodsPanNEC patients older than 50 years from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database were retrospectively selected from 2010 to 2021 and were randomly divided into a training set and a validation set. Independent factors affecting CSS were selected by univariate and multivariate analyses. The nomogram was built using significant variables. The discrimination and calibration of the nomogram were evaluated by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), calibration curves, and decision curve analysis.ResultsA total of 407 patients were selected and randomly assigned to a training set or a validation set at a 6:4 ratio. In the selected population, 227 individuals (55.8%) were male, 313 (76.9%) were white, with a mean age of 69.4 years. Among them, 318 individuals (78.1%) died due to the tumor, with a CSS time of 6 months. Multivariate Cox analysis showed that age [hazard ratio (HR): 1.56, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.10-2.22, P=0.01], surgery (HR: 2.32, 95% CI: 1.27-4.23, P=0.006), chemotherapy (HR: 2.39, 95% CI: 1.68-3.38, P<0.001), tumor, nodes, and metastasis (TNM) stage (HR: 3.96, 95% CI: 1.19-13.19, P=0.03), and liver metastasis (HR: 1.75, 95% CI: 1.16-2.65, P=0.008) were independent risk factors that shortened CSS. The AUCs of the nomogram for the 6-month, 1-year, and 2-year CSS were 0.826, 0.791, and 0.8 in the training set and 0.848, 0.775, and 0.781 in the validation set, respectively. Calibration curves showed that the nomogram could accurately predict the 6-month, 1-year, and 2-year CSS in both datasets. Furthermore, decision curve analysis indicated that the nomogram had clinical benefits.ConclusionsThe nomogram for CSS in patients with elderly-onset PanNEC showed good predictive power, enabling clinicians to understand patient's prognosis and make appropriate decisions.

Project description:Ewing sarcoma is the second most common osseous disease in children and adolescents. It presents with a poor prognosis due to the high degree of malignancy and distant metastasis. In order to predict the disease prognosis and investigate a suitable therapeutic strategy for Ewing sarcoma, the present study aimed to describe the clinical characteristics, and to construct and validate nomograms for patients with non-metastatic Ewing sarcoma. A total of 627 cases of non-metastatic Ewing sarcoma were retrospectively collected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database between 2005 and 2014. Survival analysis and a machine learning model were used to identify independent prognostic variables and establish nomograms to estimate overall survival (OS) and cause-specific survival (CSS). The nomograms were bootstrap internally validated and externally validated using non-metastatic Ewing sarcoma cases from the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. The accuracy was also assessed by comparing with current American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging systems. The total series consisted of 627 patients with non-metastatic Ewing sarcoma with a mean age of 20.14 years. Age, tumor extension, sex, International Classification of Diseases for Oncology, 3rd Edition histology, surgery and chemotherapy were identified as independent risk factors for OS and CSS. The aforementioned outcomes were incorporated to construct the nomograms, and the concordance indices (C-indices) for internal validation of OS and CSS prediction were 0.791 and 0.813, which were higher than those for AJCC sixth edition (OS, 0.531; CSS, 0.534) and seventh edition (OS, 0.547; CSS, 0.561), while the C-indices for external validation of OS and CSS prediction were 0.834 and 0.825, respectively. In conclusion, age, sex, tumor extension and surgery were independent prognostic factors for both OS and CSS. In addition, with regard to OS, the Ewing sarcoma subtype was a poor factor and chemotherapy was a favorable one. Nomograms based on reduced Cox models attained a satisfactory accuracy in predicting the survival of patients with non-metastatic Ewing sarcoma and could assist clinicians in evaluating survival more accurately.

Project description:PurposeOur study aims to delineate the epidemiological distribution of pulmonary carcinoids, including atypical carcinoid (AC) and typical carcinoid (TC), identify independent prognostic factors, develop an integrative nomogram and examine the effects of various surgical modalities on atypical carcinoid-specific survival (ACSS).MethodsJoinpoint regression model and age-group distribution diagram were applied to determine the epidemiological trend of the pulmonary carcinoids. Univariate and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO)-based Cox regression models were used to identify independent factors, and a nomogram and web-based predictor were developed to evaluate prognosis of AC patients individually. We performed Kaplan-Meier survival analyses to compare the scope of various surgical interventions, with and without G-computation adjustment, utilising restricted mean survival time (RMST) to assess survival disparities.ResultsA total of 1132 patients were recruited from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (SEER) and a separate medical centre in China. The mean age of AC patients was 63.4 years and a smoking history was identified in 79.8% of AC patients. Joinpoint analysis shows rising annual rates of new AC and carcinoid cases among lung cancers. Both the proportion of pulmonary TC and AC within the total lung cancer population exhibits an L-shaped trend across successive age groups. The nomogram predicted 1, 3 and 5 years of AC with excellent accuracy and discrimination. Kaplan-Meier survival analyses, conducted both pre- and post-adjustment, demonstrated that sublobar resection's survival outcomes were not inferior to those of lobectomy in patients with stage I-II and stage III disease.ConclusionThis study is the first to reveal epidemiological trends in pulmonary carcinoids over the past decade and across various age cohorts. For patients with early-stage AC, sublobar resection may be a viable surgical recommendation. The established nomogram and web-based calculator demonstrated decent accuracy and practicality.

Project description:IntroductionCancer in patients of childbearing age continues to become increasingly common. The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of metastatic breast cancer (MBC) on overall survival (OS) and cancer-specifific survival (CSS) in patients of childbearing age and to construct prognostic nomograms to predict OS and CSS.MethodsData from MBC patients of childbearing age were obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database between 2010 and 2015, and the patients were randomly assigned into the training and validation cohorts. Univariate and multivariate Cox analyses were used to search for independent prognostic factors impacting OS and CSS, and these data were used to construct nomograms. The concordance index (C-index), area under the curve (AUC), and calibration curves were used to determine the predictive accuracy and discriminative ability of the nomograms. Additional data were obtained from patients at the Yunnan Cancer Hospital to further verify the accuracy of the nomograms.ResultsA total of 1,700 MBC patients of childbearing age were identifified from the SEER database, and an additional 92 eligible patients were enrolled at the Yunnan Cancer Hospital. Multivariate Cox analyses identifified 10 prognostic factors for OS and CSS that were used to construct the nomograms. The calibration curve for the probabilities of OS and CSS showed good agreement between nomogram prediction and clinical observations. The C-index of the nomogram for OS was 0.735 (95% CI = 0.725-0.744); the AUC at 3 years was 0.806 and 0.794 at 5 years.The nomogram predicted that the C-index of the CSS was 0.740 (95% CI = 0.730- 0.750); the AUC at 3 years was 0.811 and 0.789 at 5 years. The same results were observed in the validation cohort. Kaplan- Meier curves comparing the low-,medium-, and high-risk groups showed strong prediction results for the prognostic nomogram.ConclusionWe identifified several independent prognostic factors and constructed nomograms to predict the OS and CSS for MBC patients of childbearing age.These prognostic models should be considered in clinical practice to individualize treatments for this group of patients.
