Objective: Existing prognostic models for endometrial cancer are short of facility and effective validation. In this study, we aim to develop and validate a novel prognostic model for endometrial cancer based on clinical characteristics.

Methods: The clinical data such as age, BMI (body mass index), FIGO stage, surgical approach, myometrial invasion, grade, lymph node metastasis, pathology and menopause status were collected for constructing and validating the prognostic model from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, respectively. COX regression and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) COX were applied to identify the significant predictors of overall survival (OS) and construct the prognostic model. The discrimination, calibration, and clinical usefulness of the model were evaluated in both cohorts.

Results: Three hundred and sixty-seven and 286 EC patients were collected for training and validation cohort, respectively. A clinical prognostic model integrating six clinical variables including age, BMI, FIGO stage, surgical approach, myometrial invasion and grade was established. K-M analysis shows a significant difference between the low- and high-risk groups. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC-ROC) was 0.775 (95% CI, 0.708 to 0.843) and 0.870 (95% CI, 0.758 to 0.982) for the training and validation cohorts which indicating reliable discrimination. The calibration curve revealed excellent predictive accuracy and the Hosmer-Lemeshow test also verified this. Decision curve analysis (DCA) for the prognostic model indicated that it would add more benefits than either the detect-all-patients scheme or the detect-none scheme. In addition, our model has a superior AUC comparing with any single factor as predicting OS.

Conclusion: Our predictive model offers a convenient and accurate tool for clinicians to estimate the prognosis of EC patients.

Spontaneous tumor regression is a recognized phenomenon across various cancer types. Recent research emphasizes the alterations in autoantibodies against carbonic anhydrase I (CA I) (anti-CA I) levels as potential prognostic markers for various malignancies. Particularly, autoantibodies targeting CA I and II appear to induce cellular damage by inhibiting their respective protein's catalytic functions.

Background: The Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI), which reflects both nutritional and immune status, has emerged as a potential predictor of survival outcomes in cancer patients. However, its role in forecasting the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) following curative hepatectomy remains unclear. To further investigate the association between PNI and survival outcomes in HCC patients, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objectives: The occurrence of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in competitive athletes has led to a discussion about appropriate preparticipation screening models. The role of an electrocardiogram (ECG) in routine testing remains controversial in current guidelines. Furthermore, data on cardiac findings and the prognostic utility of screening strategies in young female elite ice hockey is scarce.

Background: Predicting dementia early has major implications for clinical management and patient outcomes. Yet, we still lack sensitive tools for stratifying patients early, resulting in patients being undiagnosed or wrongly diagnosed. Despite rapid expansion in machine learning models for dementia prediction, limited model interpretability and generalizability impede translation to the clinic.
