A Novel Derivation Predicting Survival After Primary Tumor Resection in Stage IV Colorectal Cancer: Validation of a Prognostic Scoring Model and an Online Calculator to Provide Individualized Survival Estimation

Abstract

The prognostic scoring model provides good prognostic stratification of survival after primary tumor resection and may be a useful tool to predict survival after primary tumor resection. See Video Abstract at http://links.lww.com/DCR/A330.

A prognostic score predicting survival following emergency surgery in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer

“…These are consistent with prognostic variables identified in several previous studies 14–17 . These variables were similarly predictive of survival in our previous publication on primary tumor resection for mCRC 18,19 . The presence of lung metastases was not found to be an adverse prognostic indicator in our study ( p = 0.757).…”

Mobile applications in oncology: A systematic review of health science databases

“…According to the information obtained in the review, apps are most commonly developed for the early detection of cancer 15,22,24,27,28,31,45,[47][48][49][53][54][55][56]58,23,59,60,[62][63][64][65][66] , particularly melanoma 15,23,27,[33][34][35]38,53,59 . These apps are based on melanoma risk calculators.…”

“…Early detection apps have also been created for cancer survivors with the aim of detecting tumor recurrence in the colon and rectum 56,77 , breast 40,54 , and thyroid 66 , as well as in Hodgkin's lymphoma 63 and pediatric patients 9 . In this context, the largest number J o u r n a l P r e -p r o o f of studies on the use of apps for cancer prevention was published in Asia 28,33,45,49,54,56,65 , an area with one of the highest cancer mortality rates in the world 78 .…”

“…The objectives of cancer-related apps were found to be early detection (n=28) 15,[22][23][24]27,28,[31][32][33][34][35]38,45,[47][48][49][53][54][55][56][58][59][60][62][63][64][65][66] , follow-up (n=9) 9,11,26,37,39,40,50,52,69 , prevention of signs and symptoms (n=8) 5,14,25,29,30,44,68,70 , treatment (n=5) 36,41,57,61,67 , and diagnosis (n=4) 42,…”

“…The geographical locations of the studies were North America (n=20) 5,8,26,27,29,[32][33][34]36,37,40,42,43,46,47,51,57,67,68 , Europe (n=14) 9,11,14,23,25,30,31,39,48,5052,55,63,69 , Asia (n=9) 28,36,44,45,49,54,61,64,65 , the United Kingdom (n=5) 24,41,[58][59][60] , Oceania (n=4) 15,35,53,66 , and Latin America (n=2) 22,56 (Table 2).…”
