PG - 141-148 LID - 10.1007/s00405-020-06189-z [doi] AB - PURPOSE: Immune scores have been used as a prognostic factor for various types of cancer. However, the association between immune scores and the prognosis of laryngeal squamous cell cancer (LSCC) has not yet been investigated. This study aimed to explore the prognostic significance of immune scores and construct a clinical nomogram to predict the survival of patients with LSCC. METHODS: The clinicopathological characteristics and immune scores of 102 patients with LSCC were obtained from TCGA database and a nomogram was developed. C-index and calibration curves were applied to assess the performance of the model. RESULTS: Patients with higher immune scores had significantly better overall survival (OS). The prognostic nomogram presented a good performance in survival prediction. CONCLUSIONS: High immune scores are correlated with improved OS in patients with LSCC. In addition, the nomogram developed for this study may assist clinicians in the prognostic evaluation of patients with LSCC.
