Identification of a visualized web-based nomogram for overall survival prediction in patients with limited stage small cell lung cancer

Abstract Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive lung cancer subtype with an extremely poor prognosis. The 5-year survival rate for limited-stage (LS)-SCLC cancer is 10–13%, while the rate for extensive-stage SCLC cancer is only 1–2%. Given the crucial role of the tumor stage in the disease c...

description Abstract Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive lung cancer subtype with an extremely poor prognosis. The 5-year survival rate for limited-stage (LS)-SCLC cancer is 10–13%, while the rate for extensive-stage SCLC cancer is only 1–2%. Given the crucial role of the tumor stage in the disease course, a well-constructed prognostic model is warranted for patients with LS-SCLC. The LS-SCLC patients' clinical data extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database between 2000 and 2018 were reviewed. A multivariable Cox regression approach was utilized to identify and integrate significant prognostic factors. Bootstrap resampling was used to validate the model internally. The Area Under Curve (AUC) and calibration curve evaluated the model's performance. A total of 5463 LS-SCLC patients' clinical data was collected from the database. Eight clinical parameters were identified as significant prognostic factors for LS-SCLC patients' OS. The predictive model achieved satisfactory discrimination capacity, with 1-, 2-, and 3-year AUC values of 0.91, 0.88, and 0.87 in the training cohort; and 0.87, 0.87, and 0.85 in the validation cohort. The calibration curve showed a good agreement with actual observations in survival rate probability. Further, substantial differences between survival curves of the different risk groups stratified by prognostic scores were observed. The nomogram was then deployed into a website server for ease of access. This study developed a nomogram and a web-based predictor for predicting the overall survival of patients with LS-SCLC, which may help physicians make personalized clinical decisions and treatment strategies.
