The developed nomograms demonstrate significantly improved predictive accuracy for overall survival in elderly patients with epithelial ovarian cancer.
Concordance index for the nomogram reached 0.938 in external validation, outperforming the AJCC staging system's 0.762.
Kaplan-Meier analysis highlights that low-risk elderly EOC patients have significantly better prognoses compared to high-risk counterparts.
The nomograms assist in personalized clinical decision-making, offering tailored prognostication beyond conventional AJCC staging.
