Background: Survival outcomes are significant different in stage II colorectal cancer (CRC) patients with diverse clinicopathological features. Objective of this study is to establish a credible prognostic nomogram incorporating easily obtained parameters for stage II CRC patients. Methods: A total of 1708 stage II CRC patients at Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center (FUSCC) during 2008 to 2013 were retrospectively analyzed in this study. Cases were randomly separated into training set (n = 1084) and validation set (n = 624). Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to identify independent prognostic factors which were subsequently incorporated into a nomogram. The performance of the nomogram was evaluated by C-index and ROC curve to calculate the area under the curve (AUC). The clinical utility of the nomogram was evaluated using decision curve analysis (DCA). Results: In univariate and multivariate analyses, eight parameters were correlated with disease free survival (DFS), which were subsequently selected to draw prognostic nomogram based on DFS. For DFS predictions, the predicted concordance index (C-index) of the nomogram was 0.842 (95% confidence interval (CI), 0.710-0.980), and 0.701 (95% CI, 0.610-0.770) for training and validation set, respectively. The AUC values of ROC predicted 1, 3 and 5-year survival of nomogram in the training and validation groups were 0.869, 0.858, 0.777 and 0.673, 0.714, 0.706, respectively. The recurrence probability calibration curve showed good consistency between actual observations and nomogram-based predictions. DCA showed better clinical application value for the nomogram compared with TNM staging system. Conclusions: A novel nomogram based on a large population study was established and validated, which is a simple-to-use tool for physicians to facilitate the postoperative personalized prognostic evaluation and determine therapeutic strategies for stage II CRC patients.
