Abstract
Background
Primary peritoneal serous carcinoma (PPSC) is a rare tumor that lacks a prognostic prediction model. Our study aims to develop a nomogram to predict overall survival (OS) of PPSC patients.
Methods
Patients confirmed to have PPSC between 2004 and 2012 were selected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. LASSO and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to screen for meaningful independent prognostic factors to construct a nomogram model for 3-, 5-, and 10-year OS among patients with PPSC. The nomogram compared the discrimination, calibration, and net benefits with the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) staging system of PPSC patients.
Results
Eight variables were selected to establish the nomogram for PPSC. The established nomogram performed significantly better than the FIGO staging system (p < 0.05). The 3-, 5-, and 10-year OS of PPSC was 0.498, 0.306, and 0.152, respectively. Patients of old age, widowed marital status, grade high, FIGO IIIB, IIIC, or IV, lymph node metastasis, no lymphadenectomy, no surgery, and no chemotherapy got higher score which corresponds with higher risk and lower OS. In the multivariate Cox regression analysis, age, histological grade, FIGO staging, lymph node metastasis, and lymphadenectomy (four or more) were identified as independent prognostic factors for PPSC.
Conclusions
PPSC patients have distinct characteristics with respect to their presentation and survival outcomes. A prognostic nomogram constructed by various clinical indicators can provide better and more accurate predictions for patients with PPSC.
