Prognostic Score of Silva-Figueroa et al for Parathyroid Carcinoma

Description

Silva-Figueroa et al reported a simple prognostic score for a patient with parathyroid carcinoma. This can help to identify a patient who may benefit from more aggressive management. The authors are from MD Anderson Cancer Center and the Medical College of Wisconsin.

Patient selection: parathyroid carcinoma

Outcome: recurrence-free survival (RFS)

Parameters:

(1) age in years

(2) serum calcium concentration in mg/dL

(3) vascular invasion

Parameter	Finding	Points
ae in years	<= 65 years	0
	> 65 years	1
serum calcium	<= 15 mg/dL	0
	> 15 mg/dL	1
vascular invasion	no	0
	yes	1

total score =

= SUM(points for all 3 parameters)

Interpretation:

• minimum score: 0

• maximum score: 3

• The higher the score the worse the recurrence-free survival (RFS).

Total Score	Risk Group	2-Year RFS
0	low	93%
1	moderate	72%
2	high	27%
3	NA	NA
