What is it about?
This study aimed to develop a practical nomogram to predict prognosis in patients who are undergoing sublobar resection for stage IA NSCLC. Data from SEER databases were used to construct the nomogram. We created a nomogram that delivered a relatively accurate individual prognostic prediction for patients undergoing sublobar resection for stage IA NSCLC.

Why is it important?
The application of nomogram for patients undergoing sublobar resection for stage IA NSCLC has not been utilized. We sought to identify prognostic factors for patients undergoing sublobar resection for stage IA NSCLC and to establish a nomogram to predict the 3- and 5-year OS and lung cancer-specific survival (LCSS) rates of these patients.
Perspectives
We conclude that for patients with stage IA NSCLC undergoing sublobar resection, sex, age, race, marital status, pathology, differentiation, tumor size, and surgery type were independent prognostic factors for OS. Based on these factors, we developed a convenient and visual nomogram to predict the 3- and 5-year OS and LCSS rates. The prediction outcome had a relatively good performance.
