Abstract
BACKGROUND The survival trends and prognostic factors of patients with extraosseous plasmacytoma (EOP) or extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) have not been reported in recent years. The objective of this study was to develop a novel nomogram and risk stratification system for predicting the overall survival (OS) of elderly patients with EOP based on the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. METHODS The demographic characteristics of 900 patients aged 60 years and above, diagnosed with EOP between 2000 and 2019, were extracted from the SEER database. The patient population was randomly divided into a training cohort and an internal validation cohort in a ratio of 7:3. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were conducted to identify independent predictors of prognosis in elderly EOP patients, followed by developing a nomogram for prognostic assessment. The performance of the model was evaluated through receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves, C-index, calibration curves for calibration accuracy assessment, and decision curve analysis (DCA) to assess its clinical utility. All elderly EOP patients were stratified into three risk subgroups by cutoff value utilizing X-tile software based on their total OS scores for comparative analysis purposes. Kaplan-Meier (K-M) survival curve analysis was employed to validate any observed differences in OS among these three risk groups. RESULTS Six factors including age, year of diagnosis, marital status, primary site, surgery, and prior tumor history were identified to be independently predictive of the OS of elderly patients with EOP, and these predictors were included in the construction of the nomogram. The 1-, 3-, and 5-year area under the curves (AUCs) for OS were 0.717, 0.754, and 0.734 in the training cohort and 0.740, 0.730, and 0.765 in the validation cohort, respectively. The C-index values in the two cohorts were 0.695 and 0.690. The calibration curves and DCA exhibit commendable consistency and validity, respectively, thereby demonstrating their robust performance. The training set was stratified into low-, medium-, and high-risk subgroups based on the optimal cutoff points (167.8 and 264.8) identified. The K-M curve and cumulative risk curve exhibited statistically significant disparities in survival rates among the groups. CONCLUSIONS We developed a nomogram and risk classification system, which can serve as an intuitive and effective tool for clinicians to enhance the prediction of OS in elderly EOP patients, thereby facilitating the formulation of more rational and personalized treatment strategies.

The association between the volume of the gallbladder based on sonographic findings and demographical data in the PERSIAN Guilan cohort study (PGCS). BMC Res Notes 2023; 16:310. [PMID: 37924103 PMCID: PMC10623732 DOI: 10.1186/s13104-023-06582-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2023] [Accepted: 10/18/2023] [Indexed: 11/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Ultrasound is an important method to determine the volume of the gallbladder and check its structure. Considering the variation in the size and volume of the gallbladder in disease and physiological conditions, determining the volume of the gallbladder is clinically valuable. This study was carried out to evaluate the gallbladder volume and its association with patients' demographic data in the Prospective Epidemiological Research Studies of Iranian Adults (PERSIAN) Guilan cohort study (PGCS) population. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, 957 individuals aged 35-70 participated in determining the gallbladder volume by a radiologist based on the ultrasound method. The demographical data were collected using a questionnaire. After fasting for 12 h, the ultrasound was performed with an Ultrasonic device (Sonix SP series) with a 3.5 to 5 MHz probe. RESULTS The total frequency of gallbladder lesions was 2.2%. The results showed a significant association between marriage and gender with the presence or absence of lesions in the studied participants (P < 0.05). Also, significant differences were reported between the volume of gallbladder and gender, body mass index (BMI), social and economic status (SES), metabolic equivalent of task (MET), history of cardiovascular disease (CVD), and hypertension (P < 0.05). The results of a linear regression represented a significant association between gender, BMI, MET, and CVD and the mean volume of the gallbladder (P < 0.05). However, there was no significant association between the presence or absence of a lesion and the individuals' average gallbladder volume (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION According to our results, gender, BMI, MET, and CVD were significantly associated with gallbladder volume.

Abstract
Background Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the breast (NECB) is a rare subtype of breast cancer, comprising only 0.1% to 5% of all breast cancer cases. Despite its rarity, it is important to gain a better understanding of the epidemiological, clinical, and prognostic features of NECB. The purpose of the study was to obtain population-based evaluations of the epidemiological and survival outcomes of NECB. Methods The data of patients with neuroendocrine carcinoma diagnosed and enrolled between 2000 and 2017 were obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Descriptive statistical analyses were used to assess the distribution and tumor-related characteristics of these patients. Kaplan-Meier curves and univariate and multivariate Cox proportional risk models were used to analyze variables that might be associated with prognosis. Results This study included 7,856 patients with neuroendocrine carcinoma. The median age of the patients was 64 years, and most of them were female, White, and diagnosed at ≥60 years old. The most common pathological type was neoplasm. Survival analysis indicated that there were significant differences in age, marital status, registration location, American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) stage, breast subtype, surgery of primary tumor, and no cancer cause surgery patients with NECB. The results also indicated that treatment with surgery, including surgery of primary tumor, surgery combined with radiation, and no cancer cause surgery, were all effective in improving the prognosis compared with not providing surgical treatment. Conclusions In conclusion, NECB is a very rare lesion for which age, marital status, registration location, and surgery, AJCC stage, breast subtype were found to be independent prognostic factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Limited and conflicting findings have been reported regarding the association between social support and colorectal cancer (CRC) outcomes. We sought to assess the influences of marital status and living arrangement on survival outcomes among patients with stage III colon cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS We conducted a secondary analysis of 1082 patients with stage III colon cancer prospectively followed in the CALGB 89803 randomized adjuvant chemotherapy trial. Marital status and living arrangement were both self-reported at the time of enrollment as, respectively, married, divorced, separated, widowed, or never-married, and living alone, with a spouse or partner, with other family, in a nursing home, or other. RESULTS Over a median follow-up of 7.6 years, divorced/separated/widowed patients experienced worse outcomes relative to those married regarding disease free-survival (DFS) (hazards ratio (HR), 1.44 (95% CI, 1.14-1.81); P =.002), recurrence-free survival (RFS) (HR, 1.35 (95% CI, 1.05-1.73); P = .02), and overall survival (OS) (HR, 1.40 (95% CI, 1.08-1.82); P =.01); outcomes were not significantly different for never-married patients. Compared to patients living with a spouse/partner, those living with other family experienced a DFS of 1.47 (95% CI, 1.02-2.11; P = .04), RFS of 1.34 (95% CI, 0.91-1.98; P = .14), and OS of 1.50 (95% CI, 1.00-2.25; P =.05); patients living alone did not experience significantly different outcomes. CONCLUSION Among patients with stage III colon cancer who received uniform treatment and follow-up within a nationwide randomized clinical trial, being divorced/separated/widowed and living with other family were significantly associated with greater colon cancer mortality. Interventions enhancing social support services may be clinically relevant for this patient population. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00003835.

Abstract
Background The incidence of early‐onset prostate cancer (PCa) has increased significantly over the past few decades. It is necessary to develop a prognostic nomogram for the prediction of overall survival (OS) in early‐onset PCa patients. Methods A total of 23,730 early‐onset PCa patients (younger than 55 years old) between 2010 and 2015 in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database were enrolled for the current study, and randomly separated into the training cohort and the validation cohort. 361 eligible early‐onset PCa patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas‐Prostate Adenocarcinoma (TCGA‐PRAD) cohort were obtained as the external validation cohort. Independent predictors were selected by univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis, and a prognostic nomogram was constructed for 1‐, 3‐, and 5‐year OS. The accurate and discriminative abilities of the nomogram were evaluated by the concordance index (C‐index), receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC), calibration plot, net reclassification index (NRI), and integrated discrimination improvement (IDI). Results Multivariate Cox analysis showed that race, marital status, TNM stage, prostate‐specific antigen, Gleason score, and surgery were significantly associated with poor prognosis of PCa. A nomogram consisting of these variables was established, which had higher C‐indexes than the TNM system (training cohort: 0.831 vs. 0.746, validation cohort: 0.817 vs. 0.752). Better AUCs of the nomogram than the TNM system at 1, 3, and 5 years were found in both the training cohort and the validation cohort. The 3‐year and 5‐year AUCs of the nomogram in the TCGA‐PRAD cohort were 0.723 and 0.679, respectively. The calibration diagram, NRI, and IDI also showed promising prognostic value in OS. Conclusions We developed an effective prognostic nomogram for OS prediction in early‐onset PCa patients, which will further assist both the precise clinical treatment and the assessment of long‐term outcomes.

Abstract
Marital adjustment plays a key role in the physical and psychosocial wellbeing. We conducted a cross-sectional study to evaluate marital adjustment and its association with psychological distress, suicidal ideation, sleep problems, and quality of life in patients with cancer. We collected demographic and clinical information using a structured survey. We assessed marital adjustment, quality of life, psychological distress profile, and sleep problems of participants using validated instruments: the Locke and Wallace Marital Adjustment Test (LWMAT), the Short-Form Health Survey-12, the Beck’s Depression Inventory (BDI), the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI). Suicidal ideation was assessed with item nine of the BDI. Of the 130 patients (52.3% females, mean age 57.9 ± 12.4 years) enrolled, 20 (15%) were classified as experiencing poor marital adjustment. Moderate to severe depression, anxiety, and insomnia were found in 25.4%, 34.6%, and 24.7% of participants, respectively. Positive suicidal ideation was documented in 13.8% of participants. We found a significant association between poor marital adjustment and depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and poor sleep. Our study confirms the relevance of marital adjustment in relation to the psychological wellbeing of patients with cancer. Depression, anxiety, and poor sleep were found to be significantly associated with poor marital adjustment.

Abstract
The majority of patients diagnosed with cancer are ≥65 years. However, inclusion of older patients with cancer in clinical trials is limited, and so there is less evidence to guide systemic therapeutic decisions in these patients. There is also debate surrounding the definition of "older patients". Additionally, comorbidities, as well as life expectancy will influence compliance to any treatment, and physicians may favour less intense regimens for these patients or best supportive care alone. In patients with biliary tract cancer (BTC), surgery followed by adjuvant capecitabine (BILCAP phase 3 trial) is the only potentially curative option, but patients often present with advanced disease, and palliative systemic treatment is given. The availability of novel targeted therapies (oral and monotherapy) in selected populations of patients with BTC may increase the therapeutic artillery for these older patients. Trials to date in patients with BTC have not been age-specific and have not always included age subgroup analysis, and so the evidence to support treatment of older patients is derived via extrapolation, primarily, with only 35% being >60 years in the adjuvant BILCAP study, for example. When this evidence is provided, treated patients tend to gain equivalent survival benefit, irrespective of age. A comprehensive clinical geriatric assessment is recommended. Revision of existing BTC treatment guidelines should incorporate some reference to best practice in older patients with BTC. Observational data may also provide valuable insights in this population. Age sub-group analysis should be encouraged in prospective clinical trials including patients with BTC, with age-specific trials favoured.

Abstract
A competing-risks model was developed in this study to identify the significant prognostic factors and evaluate the cumulative incidence of cause-specific death in gallbladder adenocarcinoma (GBAC), with the aim of providing guidance on effective clinical treatments.All patients with GBAC in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database during 1973 to 2015 were identified. The potential prognostic factors were identified using competing-risks analyses implemented using the R and SAS statistical software packages. We calculated the cumulative incidence function (CIF) for cause-specific death and death from other causes at each time point. The Fine-Gray proportional-subdistribution-hazards model was then applied in univariate and multivariate analyses to test the differences in CIF between different groups and identify independent prognostic factors.This study included 3836 eligible patients who had been enrolled from 2004 to 2015 in the SEER database. The univariate analysis indicated that age, race, AJCC stage, RS, tumor size, SEER historic stage, grade, surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and adjuvant therapy (RCT, SRT, SCT and SRCT) were significant factors affecting the probability of death due to GBAC. The multivariate analysis indicated that age, race, AJCC stage, RS status, tumor size, grade and SRT were independent prognostic factors affecting GBAC cancer-specific death. A nomogram model was constructed based on multivariate models for death related to GBAC.We have constructed the first competing-risks nomogram for GBAC. The model was found to perform well. This novel validated prognostic model may facilitate the choosing of beneficial treatment strategies and help when predicting survival.

Prognostic Evaluation for Patients over 45 Years Old with Gallbladder Adenocarcinoma Resection: A SEER-Based Nomogram Analysis. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2020; 2020:6370946. [PMID: 32733948 PMCID: PMC7383319 DOI: 10.1155/2020/6370946] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2020] [Revised: 06/16/2020] [Accepted: 06/29/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Gallbladder adenocarcinoma is the main histopathological type of gallbladder cancer (GBC), so it is particularly important to understand its biological characteristics. Due to the low incidence of this type of cancer, there are few studies with large sample sizes. The log of positive lymph nodes (LODDS) has been evaluated by many scholars as a lymph node stage that may play a better role than the 8th edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) lymph node staging system in many cancers. However, the effect of LODDS has not been proven in gallbladder adenocarcinoma. Our research aimed to identify independent prognostic factors that are closely related to overall survival (OS) in patients with gallbladder adenocarcinoma over 45 years of age using data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and, End Results (SEER) database. All patients were randomly divided into a modeling cohort and an internal validation cohort. Seven independent prognostic factors associated with OS—age, marital status, grade, tumor size, AJCC 8th edition T stage and M stage, and LODDS—were used to build a nomogram to predict 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival. The C-index of our nomogram was 0.735 (95% CI, 0.716 to 0.754), and together with the calibration curve and ROC curve validation, the results confirmed the prediction effect of our nomogram. We believe that our nomogram will be an accurate and convenient method for patient prognosis assessment in the future.

Disparities in the Use of Chemotherapy in Patients with Resected Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma. J Gastrointest Surg 2020; 24:1590-1596. [PMID: 31270718 DOI: 10.1007/s11605-019-04311-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2019] [Accepted: 06/13/2019] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Introduction of effective systemic therapies for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has demonstrated survival benefit. However, chemotherapy remains underutilized in these patients. We sought to investigate the implications of disparities on the trends in utilization of chemotherapy. METHODS A retrospective study using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database identified patients who underwent surgical resection for PDAC from 1998 to 2014. Clinicopathologic, demographic, racial, and geographical factors were analyzed to assess associations with receipt of chemotherapy and disease-specific survival. RESULTS A total of 15,585 patients were included in the study. A majority (N = 9953, 63.9%) received chemotherapy. Factors associated with poorer odds of receiving chemotherapy included older age (p < 0.001), African-American race (p = 0.003), and living in the Southwest region of the USA (p < 0.001). Married patients were at higher odds of receiving chemotherapy (all p < 0.001). Receipt of chemotherapy was independently associated with improved disease-specific survival (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Receipt of chemotherapy results in an improved survival in patients with resected PDAC. Demographic, racial, and geographic factors influence the rate of receipt of chemotherapy. Despite prior reports, these trends have not changed over the recent decades.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to develop and validate a reliable nomogram to estimate overall survival in bladder cancer. METHOD Patients diagnosed with bladder cancer identified in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database were randomly divided into training and validation cohorts. The powerful prognostic variables were examined using Cox regression analyses. A nomogram was developed on the prognostic factors. RESULTS The results suggested that age, sex, race, grade, histologic type, primary site, pathological stage, surgical treatment, and number of primary tumors, were the powerful prognostic factors. All these factors were integrated to construct the nomogram. The nomogram for predicting overall survival showed better discrimination power than the tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) stage system 8th edition. CONCLUSION The nomogram has the potential to provide an individualized prediction of overall survival in patients with bladder cancer.

Abstract
Background The incidence and prognostic factors of chondrosarcoma patients have been reported in early studies. However, the association between risk factors and the incidence or prognosis of chondrosarcoma patients with pulmonary metastasis remains unclear. Therefore, we assessed these risk factors among chondrosarcoma patients with pulmonary metastasis. Material/Methods From 1365 chondrosarcoma patients in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database, we collected the information of 69 patients with pulmonary metastasis at the initial diagnosis of chondrosarcoma from 2010 to 2016. We investigated the incidence, risk factors, and prognostic factors for pulmonary metastasis patients by using multivariate logistic regression and multivariate Cox regression analyses. Results Data from a total of 69 (6.8%) chondrosarcoma patients with pulmonary metastasis at initial diagnosis were extracted. Patients with the following characteristics were positively associated with higher risk of pulmonary metastasis: dedifferentiated subtype, high grade of malignancy, extracompartmental tumor (Enneking B), presence of regional lymph nodes, local recurrence, large tumor size (larger than 15 cm), and being married. Older patients (older than 67 years), and patients with clear cell chondrosarcoma or large tumor size (larger than 15 cm) exhibited the worse prognosis and survival (overall and cancer-specific). Resection of the primary tumor tended to be correlated with a better prognosis. Conclusions The incidence of pulmonary metastasis in chondrosarcoma was approximately 6.8%, with poor prognosis. Identifying risk factors and their associations with the incidence and prognosis in chondrosarcoma patients with pulmonary metastasis could provide a reference for clinical surveillance and guide the design of personalized treatment plans.

Abstract
Background The distant metastasis (DM) mode and treatment efficacies in the advanced biliary tract cancer (BTC) were obscure, and a credible evaluation is urgently needed. Method A total of 6348 advanced BTC patients (ICC, intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, n = 1762; PHCC, perihilar cholangiocarcinoma, n = 1103; GBC, gallbladder cancer, n = 2580; DCC, distal cholangiocarcinoma, n = 538; AVC, carcinoma of Vater ampulla, n = 365) were enrolled from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Propensity score matching (PSM) process was carried out for less bias. Result The proportion of M1 patients in each subtype at first diagnosis was 26.4% (ICC), 37.2% (PHCC), 41. 0% (GBC), 24.5% (DCC), and 12.7% (AVC), and the constitution of DM sites in different subtypes varied apparently. Moreover, the survival of metastasis sites was different (P < .05 in all the subtypes) where the multi‐metastasis and distant lymph node (dLN) only always indicated the worst and best prognosis, respectively. Chemotherapy presented the most significant survival impact with the lowest hazard ratio by multivariate cox model and still provided a survival improvement after PSM (all P < .001) in all subtypes. However, the median months manifested different between patients with and without chemotherapy among the subtypes (ICC, from 5 to 9; PHCC, from 6 to 10; AVC, from 4 to 9; GBC, from 6 to 7; DCC from 6 to 8). Conclusion We provided a landscape about the detailed DM mode of the advanced BTC in a large population, found the survival differences among DM sites, and revealed the different chemotherapy efficacies in the BTC subtypes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The M1 stage of colorectal cancer (CRC) has a poor prognosis. The aim of this study is to develop a reliable tool for the prediction for CRC patients with M1 stage, thus assisting the strategy of clinical diagnosis and treatment. METHODS CRC patient information collected in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database between 2004 and 2015 was extracted and evaluated. Multivariate analysis with Cox proportional hazards regression identified risk factors that predicted overall survival (OS) and the results were used to construct a nomogram to predict 3-, and 5-year OS in CRC patients with M1 stage. The Kaplan-Meier curve was plotted to evaluate OS differences. RESULTS A total of 19,796 patients from the SEER database were included for analysis. All patients were randomly allocated to 2 cohorts, the training cohort (n = 13,860) and the validation cohort (n = 5936). Patients' age at diagnosis; gender; race; tumor site; tumor grade; T and N stage; brain, lung, bone, and liver metastasis status; marital status; and therapy were associated with survival in the multivariate models. All these factors were incorporated to construct a nomogram. Additionally, we divide all 19,796 patients into high-risk group and low-risk group according to our nomogram, and plotted Kaplan-Meier curve. The result indicated that patients with higher risk had worse survival outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Our predictive model has the potential to provide an individualized risk estimate of survival in CRC patients with M1 stage.

Abstract
Numerous studies have shown that marital status may be a prognostic factor in various malignancies, but little is known about its effect on duodenal adenocarcinoma. The aim of the present study was to determine the association between marital status and survival in patients with duodenal adenocarcinoma. The Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results database was utilized to analyze 2,018 patients who had been diagnosed with duodenal adenocarcinoma between January 2004 and December 2015. Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses were also used to determine the impact of marital status on overall survival (OS) and cause-specific survival (CSS). The 5-year OS rate was higher in married patients (32.6%) compared with unmarried (26.8%) patients (P<0.001), as was the 5-year CSS rate (38.8 vs. 33.7%; P<0.001). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that marital status was an independent prognostic factor for duodenal adenocarcinoma, with married patients having improved OS (P<0.001) and CSS (P=0.001) compared with unmarried patients. Subgroup analysis showed that marital status played a role in the survival of patients at American Joint Committee on Cancer Tumor-Node-Metastasis stage I, but not of patients at stages II, III or IV. The survival outcomes for duodenal adenocarcinoma are improved in married patients compared with those in unmarried patients. Therefore, attention should be paid to the impact of social factors and socio-economic factors on unmarried patients, in order to improve their survival outcomes.

Abstract
We evaluated relative survival (RS) for ovarian cancer (OC) overall, by demographic and by clinicopathological characteristics in Missouri. Survival data from the Missouri Cancer Registry were obtained for cases diagnosed 1996-2014. An improved OC survival, especially in late stage, was observed in the study period. Our findings showed demographic, especially race-associated, and geographical variations of OC survival. OC survival also differed by first course treatment received and histology. These differences indicate disparities in OC care.

Abstract
Background Previous studies have shown that differences in marital status contribute to different prognoses for certain cancers, but the relationship between marital status and the prognosis of chondrosarcoma has not been reported previously. Material/Methods In this study, we selected 4502 eligible cases through the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database from 1977 to 2014 to analyze the impact of marital status on chondrosarcoma cancer-specific survival (CSS) by Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression model. Results The sex, age, histotype, pathological grade, tumor location, tumor size, SEER stage, socioeconomic status, marital status, and treatment were identified as independent prognostic factors for chondrosarcoma CSS. Widowed patients presented the worst CSS compared with their married, divorced, and single counterparts (P<0.001). Subgroup analyses showed widowed patients also had a significantly higher risk of cancer-specific mortality compared with married patients in localized stage (HR: 1.971, 95% CI: 1.298–2.994, P=0.001), regional stage (HR: 1.535, 95% CI: 1.094–2.154, P=0.013), low pathological grade (HR: 1.866, 95% CI: 1.332–2.613, P<0.001), and high pathological grade (HR: 1.662, 95% CI: 1.139–2.426, P=0.008). Conclusions Marital status was first identified as an independent prognostic factor for chondrosarcoma CSS, and widowhood was always associated with a high risk of cancer-specific mortality. It is necessary to provide timely psychological treatment for widowed patients in clinical practice, which can improve the survival of chondrosarcoma patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Marital status has been demonstrated as a predictive factor for prognosis in diverse malignancies, but its role in the survival of gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) remains unclear. MATERIAL AND METHODS This study was aimed to investigate the impact of marital status on the overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) of operable GIST cases, by using data from Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. In total, 6582 GIST patients between 1973 and 2013 were identified from SEER database. RESULTS Univariate and multivariate analyses demonstrated the marital status as an independent predictive factor for survival. Married group had better 5-year OS and CSS than unmarried group (OS: 79.2% vs 71.3%, P < .001; CSS: 88.9% vs 84.8%, P < .001). And compared to married, divorced/separated, and single group, widowed group had the lowest 5-year OS and CSS (61.3% and 82.2%). Further subgroup analyses validated the relationship between marital status and survival among all SEER stages and different age groups. And additional sensitivity analyses according to other clinicopathological features confirmed that married cases had higher survival rate than unmarried cases. CONCLUSION In conclusion, marriage could be a protective prognostic factor for survival, and widowed patients had a higher risk of death.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Marital status has been found as an independent prognostic factor for survival in colorectal cancer (CRC). However, it is unclear whether patients with different marital status have benefited the same from the treatment improvement. METHODS We queried the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) 9 database for patients diagnosed with CRC from 1975 to 2009. Yearly survival data was presented with overlying loess smoothing lines, stratifying by marital status. We further referred to the SEER 18 database for patients diagnosed with CRC from 1973 to 2014. We also performed yearly data for stage proportion, surgery-performed rate, cancer-specific survival (CSS), and multivariate hazard ratio with overlying loess smoothing lines across all marital status. RESULTS Five-year CSS of married, single, and separated/divorced patients showed remarkable increase since 1975; however, survival of widowed patients remained low and no survival gains were observed since 1990. The same trends persisted after stratifying patients by stage and gender. Married and widowed patients tended to have more localized disease and less distant disease compared with the other two groups, and married patients were more likely to receive surgery. Multivariate analysis revealed the hazard ratio of widowed patients dropped dramatically when including age at diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS Widowed patients have not benefited substantially from the remarkable treatment improvement over the past four decades, which may be the result of the older age of this particular group. This study is a wake-up call to the medical community for additional care for the widowed patients.

Abstract
Background The aim of the study was to develop and validate a nomogram to predict overall survival (OS) in biliary tract cancer (BTC). Patients and methods Patients diagnosed with BTC between 2004 and 2014 were selected for the study from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. All patients were randomly allocated to 2 sets, the training set (n = 8,869) and the validation set (n = 8,766), for the purposes of validation. The prognostic effects of each variable were examined using univariate and multivariate analyses. Cox regression models and a nomogram were developed based on significant prognostic factors. The predictive and discriminatory capacity of the nomogram was evaluated by Harrell’s concordance index (C-index) and calibration plots. Results Data of 17,635 patients with BTC were collected from the SEER database. Age; race; tumor site; tumor grade; T, N, and M stage; marital status; and therapy were associated with survival in the multivariate models. All these factors were integrated to construct the nomogram. The nomogram for predicting OS displayed better discrimination power than the tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) stage system 6th edition in the training set and validation set. The calibration curve indicated that the nomogram was able to accurately predict 3- and 5-year OS. Conclusion This predictive model has the potential to provide an individualized risk estimate of survival in patients with BTC.
