Abstract

In this paper, we conducted survival analyses by fitting the Cox proportional hazards model to stage III proximal colon cancer data obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program of the National Cancer Institute. We investigated the effect of covariates on the hazard function for death from proximal colon cancer in stage III with surgery performed and estimated the survival probability for a patient with specific covariates. We showed that the proportional hazards assumption is satisfied for covariates that were used to analyses, using a test based on the Schoenfeld residuals and plots of the Schoenfeld residuals and $log[-log\{{\hat{S}}(t)\}]$. We evaluated the model calibration and discriminatory accuracy by calibration plot and time-dependent area under the ROC curve, which were calculated using 10-fold cross validation.

본 논문에서는 미국 국립암연구소의 SEER 프로그램에서 제공하는 우측 대장암 3기 자료에 Cox 비례위험모형을 적합하여 생존분석을 하였다. 우측 대장암 3기 환자의 사망률에 유의한 영향을 미치는 공변량들을 파악하고, 관심있는 공변량들을 가진 환자의 생존율을 추정하였다. Schoenfeld 잔차를 기반한 검정과 Schoenfeld 잔차 도표, $log[-log\{{\hat{S}}(t)\}]$ 도표를 이용하여 분석에 사용된 공변량들이 비례위험 가정을 만족함을 확인하였다. 적합된 Cox 비례위험모형의 타당성을 검증하기 위해 10-fold 교차 검증을 이용하여 calibration 도표와 시간에 의존하는 ROC 곡선 아래 면적을 계산하였다. 이를 통해 적합된 Cox 비례위험모형의 타당성을 확인하였다.
