Seminal Publications
A literature search was performed on prostate cancer predictive tools from January 1966 to July 2007. The authors recorded input variables, the prediction form, the number of patients used to develop prediction tools, the outcome being predicted, prediction tool-specific features, predictive accuracy, and whether validation was performed. The literature search generated 109 published prediction tools, including only 68 that had undergone validation.
A literature search was performed on bladder cancer nomograms from January 1966 to July 2007. The authors recorded input variables, prediction form, number of patients used to develop the prediction tools, the outcome being predicted, prediction tool-specific features, predictive accuracy, and whether validation was performed. The literature search generated 11 published prediction tools that may be applied to patients in various clinical stages of bladder cancer. Of the 11 prediction tools, 8 have undergone validation.
A systematic review and comprehensive repository of online prognostic tools was created to understand the state-of-the-art in prognostic tool availability and characteristics. The authors reviewed 22 interactive tools covering 89 cancer sites and compared them on a number of characteristics.
