Predictive model | Regression coefficient |
---|---|
Equation | Score = 1.116 × TD + 2.202 × LVI + 3.676 × UPM + 1.438 × LN − 0.493 |
Variable | TD (poorly-differentiated = 1, well or moderate differentiated = 0) |
LVI (present = 1, absent = 0) | |
UPM (present = 1, absent = 0) | |
LNs retrieved (<12 LNs = 1, ≥12 LNs = 0) | |
Risk category | Low risk: Below 0.07 (no recommendation of adjuvant chemotherapy) |
Moderate risk: Between 0.07 and 1.33 (conditional recommendation of adjuvant chemotherapy) | |
High risk: Above 1.33 (strong recommendation of adjuvant chemotherapy) |
TD: Tumor differentiation; LVI: Lymphovascular invasion; UPM: Uncertain or positive margins; LNs: Lymph nodes; OS: Overall survival.
