Abstract:Background:
Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare type of invasive neuroendocrine skin malignancy with high mortality. However, with years of follow-up, what is the actual survival rate and how can we continually assess an individual's prognosis? The purpose of this study was to estimate conditional survival (CS) for MCC patients and establish a novel CS-based nomogram model.
Methods:
This study collected MCC patients from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database and divided these patien… Show more
