ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Recently, competing risk nomograms were widely applied to predict prognosis in numerous tumors other than chordoma. Here, we aimed to construct and validate a competing-risk-based prognostic nomogram to predict 3- and 5-year cancer-specific death (CSD) in patients with spinal and pelvic chordoma.METHODS:
All chordoma patient data were abstracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) resource, and a total of 485 chordoma patients were eventually included in this study. Multivariate competing risk model and multivariate Cox model were used to determine independent prognostic factors, respectively, and the results of the two models were compared. Nomogram was employed to visualize the competing risk model. The discrimination, calibration, and clinical utility of this model were evaluated by Harrell concordance index (C-index), time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, calibration plots, and decision curve analysis (DCA). Ten-fold cross-validation was further utilized to validate the prognostic nomogram.RESULTS:
Significant prognostic factors affecting CSD were age (P = 0.016), localized involvement (P < 0.0001), and radical resection (P < 0.001) in the multivariate competing risk model. C-indexes were 0.799 and 0.76, and AUC were 0.812 and 0.778 for 3- and 5-year CSD. Calibration plots demonstrated the nomogram was well-fitted, and DCA indicated good clinical utility. The nomogram showed good performance in the 10-fold cross-validation.CONCLUSION:
We successfully built the first competing-risk-based nomogram to predict clinical outcomes in patients with spinal and pelvic chordoma. This well-established nomogram hopes to help clinicians with precise prognostic assessment and thus improve clinical outcomes.Palavras-chave
