Abstract

Objective To investigate the impact of multi­organ metastases on the survival prognosis of patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC)and to develop a nomogram prediction model for clinical diagnosis and treatment. Methods A retrospective analysis of 3038 metastatic RCC patients from the SEER database (2010-2015) was conducted to evaluate the effects of multi­organ metastases on prognosis. Further analysis was conducted on 1,013 patients with multi­organ metastasis, and they were randomly divided into a modeling group and a validation group at a ratio of 7:3. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis identified independent factors influencing overall survival (OS) in the modeling group,which were then used to develop a nomogram model. The predictive performance of the nomogram was assessed using the C-index, ROC curves,and calibration curves. A risk stratification system was also created based on the nomogram. Results Patients with multi~organ metastases had poorer outcomes (HR=1.82, 95% CI: 1.68-1.97). Multivariate analysis identified several risk factors:papillary RCC (HR=0.95, 95% CI: 0.68-1.35), other histologies (HR=2.09, 95% CI: 1.71-2.56), Grade III-IV (HR=1.23, 95% CI: 0.96-1.58), N1 stage (HR=1.46, 95% CI: 1.24-1.72), brain metastases (HR=1.24, 95% CI: 1.04-1.49), and liver metastases (HR=1.26, 95% CI: 1.07-1.48), while surgery (HR=0.44, 95% CI: 0.36-0.55) and chemotherapy (HR=0.58, 95% CI: 0.49-0.69) were protective factors. Based on these factors, a nomogram model for predicting 1­year, 3­year, and 5­year OS of patients was constructed. The nomogram demonstrated strong predictive accuracy,supported by C-index,ROC,and calibration curve analyses. The risk stratification system effectively differentiated patient risk groups. Conclusions This study successfully constructed a nomogram prognostic model for patients with multi~organ metastasis of renal cell carcinoma, with good verification results, and can provide certain assistance for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
