Abstract
AbstractThe TNM staging system of NPC is the most important model for survival prediction. However, this model does not consider the biological variability of the tumor itself. This study aimed to develop a nomogram for predicting the overall survival of loco-regionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma. 487 Patients with confimed nasopharyngeal carcinoma who underwent IMRT and chemotherapy were included in this study. We established prognostic nomogram for overall survival (OS) based on the Cox proportional hazards model. The predictive accuracy and discriminative ability were measured using the concordance index (C-index) and calibration curve. Nomogram was validated externally by assessing discrimination and calibration using an independent data set. Continuous net reclassification improvement (NRI) and integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) were used to analyze whether nomogram improve the prediction of survival than TNM stage system. Recursive partitioning analysis (RPA) was performed to stratifying risk of patients. Age, T-stage, N-stage, NLR, LDH were included in the nomogram for OS. The C-index of the nomogram for OS were 0.726 (95% CI, 0.690 to 0.762); The calibration curve showed the nomogram was able to predict 5-year OS accurately. The nomogram had a higher C-index than the TNM stage system (0.726 VS 0.632, P-value < 0.001). The NRI was 0.235 (95% CI: 0.129 to 0.396, P < 0.001), the IDI was 0.079 (95% CI: 0.034 to 0.396, p < 0.001). RPA was performed to stratify patients into three risk group, OS was significantly different between all three risk groups. High risk groups can be benefited survival from adjuvant chemotherapy. The nomogram outperformed the TNM staging system in predicting the OS of loco-regionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma underwent intensity modulated radiation therapy and chemotherapy.
