Study Design A retrospective cohort study. Objective The goal of this study was to develop a useful clinical prediction nomogram to accurately predict the cancer-specific survival (CSS) of patients with primary spinal cord tumor (SCT), thereby formulating scientific prevention and aiding clinical decision-making. Methods In this study, patients with SCT diagnoses from the surveillance, epidemiology, and end results (SEER) database (2000-2018) were taken into account. Initially, a nomogram was created using the CSS…
