Development, Validation, and Visualization of A Web-Based Nomogram for Predicting the Recurrence-Free Survival Rate of Patients With Desmoid Tumors.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Surgery is an important treatment option for desmoid tumor (DT) patients, but how to decrease and predict the high recurrence rate remains a major challenge.

Methods

Desmoid tumor patients diagnosed and treated at Tianjin Cancer Institute & Hospital were included, and a web-based nomogram was constructed by screening the recurrence-related risk factors using Cox regression analysis. External validation was conducted with data from the Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center.

Results

A total of 385 patients were identified. Finally, after excluding patients without surgery, patients who were lost to follow-up, and patients without complete resection, a total of 267 patients were included in the nomogram construction. Among these patients, 53 experienced recurrence, with a recurrence rate of 20.15%. The 3-year and 5-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) rates were 82.5% and 78%, respectively. Age, tumor diameter, admission status, location, and tumor number were correlated with recurrence in univariate Cox analysis. In multivariate Cox analysis, only age, tumor diameter and tumor number were independent risk factors for recurrence and were then used to construct a web-based nomogram to predict recurrence. The concordance index (C-index) of the nomogram was 0.718, and the areas under the curves (AUCs) of the 3-year and 5-year receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were 0.751 and 0.761, respectively. In the external validation set, the C-index was 0.706, and the AUCs of the 3-year and 5-year ROC curves are 0.788 and 0.794, respectively.

Conclusions

Age, tumor diameter, and tumor number were independent predictors of recurrence for DTs, and a web-based nomogram containing these three predictors could accurately predict RFS (https://stepforward.shinyapps.io/Desmoidtumor/).

Project description:BackgroundThe increased use of computed tomography has brought a corresponding increase in the numbers of early-stage lung cancer patients receiving treatment. However, even for stage IA3 lung adenocarcinoma, many patients experience postoperative recurrence and metastasis. The existing TNM staging system for lung cancer does not take many clinical and pathological factors into consideration, resulting in the failure to detect and intervene as soon as possible in those with high recurrence risk. The purpose of this study was to explore the risk factors for postoperative recurrence-free survival (RFS) in patients with stage IA3 lung adenocarcinoma, and to construct and verify a nomogram model for predicting RFS in patients with the disease.MethodsThis study analyzed patients with stage IA3 lung adenocarcinoma who underwent surgical treatment. Univariate and multivariate analysis were used to analyze the independent risk factors for postoperative RFS and establish a nomogram model. Concordance index (C-index), receiver operating characteristic curve, clinical decision analysis, and calibration curve were used to evaluate the discrimination and calibration of the nomogram model. Data from two other institutions were used for external validation, and the nomogram scores were combined with X-tile software to screen high-risk groups of recurrence.ResultsThe internal cohort included 235 eligible patients with stage IA3 lung adenocarcinoma from 7,235 lung cancer. Multivariate analysis showed smoking, solid nodules, mucinous lung adenocarcinoma, and micropapillary component ≥5% were independent risk factors for RFS. A nomogram model was constructed based on the above results and the bootstrap method was used for internal validation. The internal and external validation C-indexes of the nomogram were 0.822 (95% CI: 0.751-0.891) and 0.812, respectively, indicating the obvious prediction performance was good. The X-tile software combined with nomogram scores showed the low-risk group (5-RFS rate, 0.65-0.99) had better RFS than the high-risk group (5-RFS rate, 0.20-0.65) (P<0.0001).ConclusionsWe constructed a nomogram model for predicting postoperative RFS in patients with stage IA3 lung adenocarcinoma which can individually evaluate the risk of postoperative recurrence, screen high-risk groups, and develop individualized follow-up and intervention strategies to improve the survival rate of the patients.

Project description:BackgroundAfter radical surgery, early detection of recurrence and metastasis is a crucial factor in enhancing the prognosis and survival of patients with gastric cancer (GC). Therefore, assessing the risk of recurrence in gastric cancer patients and determining the timing for postoperative recurrence is crucial.MethodsThe clinicopathological data of 521 patients with recurrent gastric cancer, who underwent radical gastrectomy at Zhejiang Cancer Hospital between January 2010 and January 2017, were retrospectively analyzed. These patients were randomly divided into two groups: a training group (n = 365) and a validation group (n = 156). In the training set, patients were further categorized into early recurrence (n = 263) and late recurrence (n = 102) groups based on a 2-year boundary. Comparative analyses of clinicopathological features and prognoses were conducted between these two groups. Subsequently, a nomogram for predicting early recurrence was developed and validated.ResultsIn this study, the developed nomogram incorporated age, serous infiltration, lymph node metastasis, recurrence mode, and the tumour marker CA19-9. In the training cohort, the area under the curve (AUC value) was 0.739 (95% CI, 0.682-0.798), with a corresponding C-index of 0.739. This nomogram was subsequently validated in an independent validation cohort, yielding an AUC of 0.743 (95% CI, 0.652-0.833) and a C-index of 0.743. Furthermore, independent risk factors for prognosis were identified, including age, absence of postoperative chemotherapy, early recurrence, lymph node metastasis, abdominal metastasis, and vascular cancer embolus.ConclusionIndependent risk factors for gastric cancer recurrence following radical surgery were utilized to construct a nomogram for predicting early relapse. This nomogram effectively assesses the risk of recurrence, aids in treatment decision-making and follow-up planning in clinical settings, and demonstrated strong performance in the validation cohort.
