Background<\/strong> \u2014 Prognostication tools offer a way to combine diverse information and inform personalized survival predictions for patients and their providers. A review of tools aimed at prognostication for patients with esophagus and gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancers undergoing surgery did not identify many high-quality tools that may be used.<\/p>\n

Methods<\/strong> \u2014 This study developed and externally validated a prognostic model to estimate the probability of dying within 3 years of surgery for patients with resected esophageal or GEJ cancer diagnosed between 2004 and 2016, followed to 2020. We used population-based administrative health and pathology data in Ontario (development) and Manitoba (external validation) from cancer registries, physician billing data, and hospitalization records. Predictor variables included patient (e.g., age, sex), disease (tumor stage, lymph node status), treatment (e.g., extent of surgery, receipt of radiation), and pathology factors (e.g., lymphovascular invasion). Bootstrapped calibration-in-the-large and time-varying area under the curve (AUC) statistics were estimated.<\/p>\n

Results<\/strong> \u2014 Model development included 2124 patients from Ontario. External model validation included 318 patients from Manitoba. Internal validation demonstrated a calibration plot slope of 1.02, intercept of \u2212\u20090.01, and AUC of 0.77. In comparison, the external validation reported a calibration plot slope of 1.11, intercept of 0.005, and AUC of 0.73. These results were robust across patient characteristics (e.g., age, sex, income), disease histology, and primary tumor location.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/strong> \u2014 Our model demonstrated accurate prognostic capability and may be suitable for application in real-world clinical care. Development of a web-based interface and supporting documentation for communicating risk to personalize prognosis for patients or facilitate shared decision-making is under way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
