Abstract 5374
Background
We aimed to validate the prognostic effects of the metastatic lymph nodes ratio (LNR) in patients with gastric neuroendocrine tumour (G-NET), and establish a nomogram to predict the survival of patients.
Methods
A total of 315 patients with G-NET in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database from 2004 to 2015 were included. Pearson correlation and Cox regression were performed to identify the association between LNR and survival. Nomograms were adopted to predict overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS).
Results
LNR has a negative correlation with OS and CSS (Pearson correlation coefficients: 0.343, P < 0.001; 0.389, P < 0.001, respectively). The multivariate analyses indicated age, tumour site, differentiation, T staging, M staging, chemotherapy and LNR were independent prognostic factors for both OS and CSS. The concordance index (C-index) of the nomograms for OS and CSS were superior to those of the TNM classification (0.773 vs. 0.731; 0.807 vs. 0.769, respectively). According to the area under the ROC curve (AUC), the predictive ability of the new nomogram for 3- and 5-year OS was better than TNM classification (0.908 vs. 0.846, P = 0.004; 0.899 vs. 0.827, P < 0.001, respectively). And the predictive ability of the new nomogram for 1-, 3- and 5-year CSS was better than TNM classification (0.936 vs. 0.848, P = 0.007; 0.910 vs. 0.855, P = 0.003; 0.894 vs. 0.836, P = 0.001, respectively).
Conclusions
LNR was an independent predictor of OS and CSS in G-NET. The nomograms based on the LNR were superior to the TNM classification in predicting the clinical outcomes for G-NET patients.
