Establishment and validation of a nomogram for predicting immune-related prognostic features in trunk melanoma-specific death.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Trunk melanoma is one of the most common and deadly types of melanomas. Multiple factors are associated with the prognosis of patients with trunk melanoma. Currently, direct, and reliable clinical tools for early assessment of individual specific risk of death are limited, and most of them are prediction models for all-cause death. Their accuracy in predicting competitiveness events, which make up a relatively large portion, may be substantially compromised. Hence, we conducted this study to investigate the risk factors of trunk melanoma-specific death to establish a comprehensive prediction model suitable for clinical application.

Methods

Patients with trunk melanoma analyzed in this study were from the SEER program [2010-2015]. The random sampling method was use
