Figure 3. Prognostic factors as predictors of outcome.
(A) Prognostic factors shown according to their reported frequency in 70 studies. The top 20 clinical prognostic factors are shown with those factors corresponding to the SEER, CALGB and EORTC prognostic factor analyses indicated in the legend. This figure shows the survival curves of patients stratified into EORTC prognostic groups (low risk, n = 103; high risk, n = 147; P = 0.0018). (B) Expanded and updated survival data for 240 consecutive patients from the series originally published by Edwards et al.31 (C) Stratification of the above dataset by CALGB prognostic groups (groups 1 and 2, n = 65; groups 3 and 4, n = 118; groups 5 and 6, n = 57; P <0.0001). Abbreviations: CALGB, the Cancer and Leukemia Group B; EORTC, European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer; Hb, hemoglobin; LDH, lactate dehydrogenase; PS, performance status; SEER, Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results.
