- Abstract
The article discusses a study on the benefits of a multivariate prediction model for bladder cancer outcomes. The study aimed to determine whether bladder nomogram improved medical decision making when adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) was used. The subjects of the study were patients who underwent cystectomy without chemotherapy and it found that in drug effectiveness, nomogram cutoff outperformed the pathologic stage of chemotherapy. Researchers concluded that nomograms reduced referrals to AC.
