Description

Miyoshi et al reported prognostic models for a patient with Stage IV colorectal cancer after concurrent curative resection. One model predicts cancer-specific survival and a second relapse-free survival. The authors are from Osaka Medical Center for Cancer and Cardiovascular Diseases, Osaka Rosai Hospital and Saiseikai Senri Hospital in Japan.


Patient selection: stage IV colorectal cancer, status post curative resection

 

Parameters:

(1) serum CEA in ng/mL, from 0 to 100

(3) lymph node metastasis

(4) synchronous metastasis

total score =

= SUM(points for all of the parameters)

 

Interpretation:

• minimum score: 0

• maximum score: 139.8

 

value of X =

= (-0.0001521 * ((score)^2)) - (0.02097 * (score)) + 0.8789

 

probability of 5-year relapse-free survival =

= 1 / (1 + EXP((-1) * X))

 

Performance:

• The area under the ROC curve is 0.63 for derivation and 0.6 for validation cohorts.
