In a previous work by our group, we demonstrated a significant impact of laterality on lung NET survival outcomes.</p><p><strong>Materials and methods: </strong>We developed a nomogram that integrates relevant prognostic factors to predict lung NET outcomes. By adding the scores for each of the variables included in the model, it was possible to obtain a prognostic score (Rachel score). Wilcoxon non-parametric statistical test was applied among parameters and Harrell's concordance index was used to measure the models' predictive power. To test the discriminatory power and the predictive accuracy of the model, we calculated Gonen and Heller concordance index. Time-dependent ROC curves and their area under the curve (AUC) were used to evaluate the models' predictive performance.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>By applying Rachel score, we were able to identify three prognostic groups (specifically, high, medium and low risk). These three groups were associate to well-defined ranges of points according to the obtained nomogram (I: 0-90, II: 91-130; III: > 130 points), providing a useful tool for prognostic stratification. The overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS) Kaplan-Meier curves confirmed significant differences (p < 0.0001) among the three groups identified by Rachel score.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>A prognostic nomogram was developed, incorporating variables with significant impact on lung NET survival. The nomogram showed a satisfactory and stable ability to predict OS and PFS in this population, confirming the heterogeneity beyond the histopathological diagnosis of TC vs AC.</p>","PeriodicalId":48802,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Endocrinological Investigation","volume":" ","pages":"2575-2586"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140194869","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
