Nomograms predicting long-term overall survival and cancer-specific survival in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma patients

Abstract: This study aimed to develop nomograms to predict long-term overall survival and cancer-specific survival in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). We conducted prognostic analyses and developed nomograms predicting survival outcome using HNSCC patient data collected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) program of the National Cancer Institute. An external dataset of 219 patients was used to validate the nomograms. Of 36,179 HNSCC patients, 9,627 (26.6%) died from HNS… Show more

“…To ensure the predictive accuracy of our nomogram, C‐indexes and calibration plots were applied to estimate the predictive accuracy of the models by performing internal validation. Our nomogram performed excellently in predicting DSS of Ca‐ex‐PA, and its prediction was supported by the C‐index (0.90 and 0.86 for the primary and validation cohorts, respectively) and the calibration curve, which compared very favorably with those of other widely accepted nomograms in other cancers, whose C‐indexes ranged from 0.60‐0.80. When compared with the TNM classification system (0.75 and 0.77 for the primary and validation cohorts, respectively), our nomogram also showed better predictive accuracy for survival.…”

“…Our results indicated that the OS and CSS of black OSCC patients were lower than that of other races, which was consistent with the research . One research study hypothesized that melanin might contribute to the development of OSCC . The OSCC patients had an improved OS and CSS after surgery and radiation therapy (Figs.…”
