Development and Validation of Nomograms to Predict Overall Survival and Cancer-Specific Survival for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer with Chest Wall Invasion: A Retrospective Study Based on SEER Database

Key Points

• To develop and validate nomograms for predicting overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with chest wall invasion.
• Retrospective analysis of SEER database
• Development of nomograms for OS and CSS
• Validation of nomograms using patient data
• Two nomograms were created for predicting OS and CSS
• Nomograms proved to be useful tools for clinicians
• Validation showed accuracy in predicting survival outcomes
