Dynamic assessment of long-term survival in survivors with stage III non-small cell lung cancer: a novel conditional survival model with a web-based calculator by Xiangdi Meng, Xiangdi Meng, Peihe Wang, Jie Liu, Daqing Sun, Zhuojun Ju, Yuanyuan Cai

“…The CS was calculated as CS(y|x) = OS(y + x)/OS(x), where OS(y + x) and OS(x) were the overall survival (OS) in the year (y + x) and year x, respectively, calculated by the Kaplan–Meier method. We used the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression to identify predictors and developed the CS-nomogram based on these predictors and the CS formula.ResultsThe CS analysis provided real-time updates on survival, with 5-year OS improving dynamically from 14.4 to 29.9%, 47.9, 66.0, and 80.8% (after 1–4 years of survival). …”
