講題 Multivariate Modeling of Cancer Prognosis and Staging
Abstract
Prediction of the clinical course of cancer and treatment outcome is an
essential part of cancer research and clinical practice. Myriad clinical,
pathologic and other features that appear to affect cancer recurrence and
patient survival have been studied extensively over the past three decades
for major cancer sites/types. With the aid of powerful statistical and
computing techniques, remarkable progress has been made in the identification
of dominant factors that characterize the natural history and clinical outcomes
of these cancers. More recently, useful models for predicting patient survival
and disease recurrence have also been investigated for several types of cancers.
In this talk, I plan to present, as an example, my personal research experience
in the study of natural history and prognosis of melanoma (a lethal type of
skin cancer) over the past 30 years through international collaboration efforts
in this research area. I also plan to demonstrate the usefulness of the
predictive models we developed and to discuss their practical applications,
including the development of a comprehensive melanoma staging system. In
addition, I also plan to discuss the important current efforts of the American
Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) and the International Union Against Cancer
(UICC) on developing evidence-based cancer staging systems and my role as
chairman of the AJCC Statistical Task Force Committee.
