Abstract
Background: Prostatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) is a rare malignant tumor, and research on its clinical features and prognosis is scarce. This study aims to develop prognostic nomograms to predict the overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) in patients with PDA.
Research design and methods: Among the 1,049 identified patients, an 8:2 random division yielded development and validation cohorts. Univariate and multivariate Cox analyses were performed to identify independent prognostic factors, which were then incorporated into nomograms predicting 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS and CSS for patients with PDA. The prognostic nomograms were evaluated using Concordance index (C-index) and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, with internal validation performed through Decision Curve Analysis (DCA).
Results: Independent prognostic factors, including age, marital status, lymph node status, distant metastasis, surgery method, chemotherapy, and Gleason score, were incorporated into the developed nomograms. The results of training (C-index: OS = 0.74, CSS = 0.69; AUC value: OS = 0.822-0.892, CSS = 0.836-0.873) and internal validation (C-index: OS = 0.78, CSS = 0.77) indicated our nomograms had good performance The clinical decision curve indicated that the nomogram had a good clinical net benefit.
Conclusions: This study successfully established and validated prognostic nomograms tailored for PDA patients.
