Description

Rose et al developed nomograms for evaluating women with locally advanced cervical cancer. One nomogram predicts the probability of pelvic recurrence. 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 1 to 25 cm in diameter

 

Parameters:

(1) age of the patient in years

(2) histology

(3) performance status

(4) tumor size in cm

(5) FIGO stage

(6) pelvic lymph nodes

(7) treatment

 

points for age =

total score =

= SUM(points for all 7 parameters)

 

Interpretation:

• minimum score: 0

• maximum score: 167

• The higher the score the greater the risk of pelvic recurrence.
