Construction and Validation of a Nomogram Model for Predicting the Survival of Elderly Colon Cancer Patients after Radical Surgery

Abstract

Objective To establish a nomogram model to predict the survival of elderly patients with colon cancer after radical resection, and to verify the predictive value of this model. Methods A total of 118 elderly patients with colon cancer who underwent radical surgery at the Xinjiang Medical University Affiliated Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital from January 2015 to December 2017 were selected as the research subjects. The prognostic indicators of elderly patients with colorectal cancer after radical surgery were analyzed by univariate Cox regression analysis. The meaningful indicators with P0.05). Conclusion The nomogram model combined with differentiation degree, TNM/T staging, lymph node metastasis and VEGF can accurately predict postoperative disease-free survival and overall survival of elderly patients with colon cancer.
