A Prediction Model for Metachronous Peritoneal Carcinomatosis in Patients with Stage T4 Colon Cancer after Curative Resection.

ABSTRACT: (1) Background: The aim of this study was to develop a prediction model for assessing individual mPC risk in patients with pT4 colon cancer. Methods: A total of 2003 patients with pT4 colon cancer undergoing R0 resection were categorized into the training or testing set. Based on the training set, 2044 Cox prediction models were developed. Next, models with the maximal C-index and minimal prediction error were selected. The final model was then validated based on the testing set using a time-dependent area under the curve and Brier score, and a scoring system was developed. Patients were stratified into the high- or low-risk group by their risk score, with the cut-off points determined by a classification and regression tree (CART). (2) Results: The five candidate predictors were tumor location, preoperative carcinoembryonic antigen value, histologic type, T stage and nodal stage. Based on the CART, patients were categorized into the low-risk or high-risk groups. The model has high predictive accuracy (prediction error ≤5%) and good discrimination ability (area under the curve >0.7). (3) Conclusions: The prediction model quantifies individual risk and is feasible for selecting patients with pT4 colon cancer who are at high risk of developing mPC.
