A Validated Prediction Model for Overall Survival From Stage III Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: Toward Survival Prediction for Individual Patients

Abstract: PurposeAlthough patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are homogeneous according to the TNM staging system, they form a heterogeneous group, which is reflected in the survival outcome. The increasing amount of information for an individual patient and the growing number of treatment options facilitate personalized treatment, but they also complicate treatment decision making. Decision support systems (DSS), which provide individualized prognostic information, can overcome this but are curre… Show more

“…Fulfilling four to five criteria corresponded to a 1-year survival probability of 0.5, two to three criteria to a 1-year survival probability of 0.25, and all patients who fulfilled none or only one criterion were deceased within 6 months after surgery [2]. Another frequently used tool to estimate survival in patients with cancer is the nomogram, which is a simple figure that generates an individualized numerical probability of survival based on a patient's unique set of characteristics; a number of points is assigned to each prognostic factor, which can be read from the nomogram and the sum of these points corresponds to a survival probability [17,20,25]. The nomogram can be seen as an extension of the classic scoring system.…”

“…The summarized statistics such as the mean, standard deviation, and proportion of the levels are given in Table 1. A detailed discussion about the patients population and data collection methods are given in [16]. In the report [16], there are 548 patients with many missing information on the 23 factors /variable.…”
