Core Tip

Core Tip: In order to predict prognosis more accurately and precisely, we used two cohorts to develop nomograms in predicting overall survival and cancer-specific survival of patients with tongue squamous cell carcinoma. We adhered to the Transparent Reporting of a multivariable prediction model for Individual Prognosis or Diagnosis statement-not only evaluated these nomograms in discrimination, calibration, but also their clinical utility. Additionally, the net reclassification index was also used to assess the accuracy of them. These nomograms provide patients and clinicians with an accurate prognosis, so as to facilitate patient-clinician communications and assist clinicians in improving decision-making.
