Abstract
There are various histological characteristics which have been proposed to predict the survival rate in colon cancer. However, there is no definitive model to accurately predict the survival. Therefore, it is important to find out one model for the prediction of survival in colon cancer which may also include the preoperative, and operative factors in addition to histopathology.
Core Tip: Although there are several prognostic predictors of colon cancer survival, there are none that are clinically useful. A nomogram developed from various clinical, radiological, and histological parameters can serve as a comprehensive and effective prognostic tool, which can assist clinicians in risk stratification and provide essential guidance for individualized treatment.
