ABSTRACT

It remains impossible to accurately assess the prognosis after thermal ablation in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Our aim was to build a nomogram to predict the survival rate of HCC patients after thermal ablation. We developed and validated a nomogram using data of 959 HCC patients after thermal ablation from two centers. Harrell's concordance index (C-index), calibration plot and Decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to measure the performance of the nomogram, and we compared it with the Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) staging system and a previous nomogram. Six variables including age, serum albumin, operation method, risk area, tumor number and early recurrence were selected to construct the nomogram. In the training cohort, internal validation cohort, and external validation cohort, the nomogram all had a higher C-index to predict survi val rate than both the BCLC staging system and the previous nomogram (0.736, 0.558 and 0.698, respectively; 0.763, 0.621 and 0.740, respectively; and 0.825, 0.551 and 0.737, respectively). Calibration plots showed a high degree of consistency between prediction and actual observation. Decision curve analysis (DCA) presented that compared with BCLC system and the previous nomogram, our nomogram had the highest net benefit. In all three cohorts, the nomogram could accurately divide patients into three subgroups according to predicted survival risk. A nomogram was developed and validated to predict survival of HCC patients who underwent thermal ablation, which is helpful for prognostic prediction and individual surveillance in clinical practice.
