Establishment and validation of a second primary hepatocellular carcinoma risk model based on SEER database
Objective To construct a prognostic risk model for the second primary hepatocellular carci-noma (spHCC).Methods The clinical data of spHCC patients in the Surveillance,Epidemiology and End Re-sults (SEER) database from 2004 to 2015 were retrospectively analyzed.The demographic and clinical varia-bles of specific causes of death were compared.The 3-year mortality rates of various causes of death were cal-culated,and the influencing factors were analyzed to establish a competitive risk model.The model was valida-ted by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and calibration curve.Results The case data of 1777 pa-tients were extracted.The 3-year cumulative mortality of spHCC patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) specific death was 47.3%.The 3-year cumulative mortality of spHCC patients with the first primary cancer (FPC) specific death was 5.5%,and the other causes of death was 23.1%.Age,T stage,N stage,M stage and surgery were the influencing factors of HCC-specific death in spHCC patients (P<0.05).Interval time,surgery and chemotherapy were the influencing factors of FPC-specific death in spHCC patients (P<0.05).Marital status,T stage,N stage and chemotherapy were the influencing factors of other cause-specific death in spHCC patients (P<0.05).The C index of the model was 0.718 (95%CI:0.693-0.743).The ROC curve and calibration curve confirmed the accuracy and predictive ability of the model.Conclusion The model has a good effect in predicting the risk of cancer-specific death in spHCC.
