Description

Xu et al reported models for predicting survival in a patient with an R0 head and neck soft tissue sarcoma. These include 2 nomograms, one of which uses the Inflammatory-Nutrition Score (INS). The authors are from Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center in Guangzhou, China.

 


Patient selection: R0 head and neck soft tissue sarcoma

 

Parameters:

(1) depth of the tumor

(2) INS group

(3) T stage

(4) N stage

(5) FNCLCC grade

Interpretation:

• minimum score: 0

• maximum score: 301

Performance:

• The area under the ROC curve is 0.82.
