Prognostic score and sex-specific nomograms to predict survival in resectable lung cancer: A French nationwide study from the Epithor cohort database.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Prognostic assessment in patients undergoing cancer treatments is of paramount importance to plan subsequent management. In resectable lung cancer availability of an easy-to use nomogram to predict long-term outcome would be extremely useful to identify high-risk patients in the era of perioperative targeted and immune therapies.

Methods

We retrieved clinical, surgical and pathological data of all consecutive patients included in Epithor, the database of French Society of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, and operated on between 2003 and 2020 for non-small cell lung cancer in a curative intent. The primary endpoint was overall survival up to 5 years. We assessed prognostic significance of available variables using Cox modelling, in the whole dataset, and in men
