Abstract:
Background: The aim of this study was to develop two predictive models to predict overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) in chordoma patients. Methods: We searched for independent prognostic factors by using univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses. The prediction model of OS and CSS of chordoma patients was constructed by using the screened factors. Results: The study enrolled 362 chordoma patients. Cox regression analysis showed that disease stage, age, surgery, marital status and tumor size are independent influencing factors of OS and CSS in chordoma patients. After testing, the prediction model constructed in this study has good performance. Conclusion: Two predictive models were successfully constructed and validated for chordoma patients' OS and CSS.

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
