Development and validation of nomograms for prediction of overall survival and cancer-specific survival of patients with Stage IV colorectal cancer

摘要

BackgroundSurgical resection of patients with resectable Stage IV colorectal cancer (CRC) is regarded as first choice if possible. However, its influence on overall survival (OS) has not been thoroughly explored. In this study, we aimed to construct nomograms to help predict 1-, 3- and 5-year OS rate and colorectal cancer-specific survival (CCSS) rate.
