Abstract
The objective of this study was to establish a nomogram model for predicting survival outcomes in patients with testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs). Data of patients with TGCTs were retrieved from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Univariate and multivariate Cox analyses were used to identify the independent predictors. A nomogram was constructed to predict overall survival (OS), and verified by concordance index (C-index), calibration curve, and decision curve analysis (DCA). The analyzed population comprised 12,008 patients with TGCTs. The nomogram showed a high C-index of 0.844, and the calibration plots were adequately fitted. Decision curve analysis indicated the clinical usefulness of the nomogram, which outperformed the tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) stages. This study built and verified a nomogram for predicting OS of TGCT patients, with higher clinical value compared to TNM stages. Our nomogram will assist clinicians in the appropriate management of patients with TGCTs.
