Nomogram for predicting early death in elderly patients with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma: A population-based SEER study

The study provides an overview of the characteristics of early death in patients with LSCC. Among the prognostic factors, T stage and radiotherapy demonstrated the strongest predictive value for early mortality, while marital status and tumor grade had the worst prognostic value. Two nomogram plots were constructed to facilitate accurate prediction of all-cause and cancer-specific early mortality within 6 months in elderly patients with LSCC, thereby helping clinicians in providing more personalised treatment plans.
