The management of locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) patients remains controversial. Better discrimination for the prediction of overall survival (OS) at baseline is needed to improve therapeutic decisions and optimize clinical trials design. We proposed a prognostic score and a nomogram to address this issue.
Ces outils de prediction sont conçus pour aider les médecins à prédire le profil de risque de son patient et son pronostic individuel dans le but d'apporter une aide dans le management clinique du patient. Ils peuvent également être utilisés par les chercheurs pour optimiser la conception des futurs essais cliniques et assurer un bon équilibre des bras d'étude en terme de profil de risque.
Si vous êtes un patient, nous vous recommandons d'utiliser ces outils uniquement en consultation avec votre médecin.
