From: Nomograms to predict survival after colorectal cancer resection without preoperative therapy
Nomograms for (a) CSS and (b) OS. Generally, each individual involved covariate was assessed for the patient and given a point on the basis of the nomograms. Aggregated points were obtained by summing the given points of all involved variables. The aggregated points corresponded to particular survival probabilities and median survival years that could be indicated by the nomograms. A higher total number of points frequently indicated a higher possibility of adverse outcomes (CSS or OS) and therefore a lower expected survival. CSS, cancer-specific survival; OS, overall survival
