Rose et al developed nomograms for evaluating women with locally advanced cervical cancer. One nomogram predicts the 5-year overall survival. The authors are from multiple hospitals in the United States and Canada.
Patient selection: woman with locally advanced cervical cancer, age 20 to 85 years, ECOG performance status 0 to 3, tumor size 0.5 to 35 cm in diameter
Parameters:
(1) histology
(2) method of establishing that paraortic lymph nodes are negative
(3) race/ethnicity
(4) tumor size in cm
(5) performance status
(6) FIGO stage
(7) grade
(8) pelvic lymph nodes
(9) treatment

Interpretation:
• minimum score: 0
• maximum score: 416
• The higher the score the worse the 5-year overall survival.
