Pulmonary metastasis in newly diagnosed colon-rectal cancer: a population-based nomogram study

ConclusionsAge, tumor size, histological grade, serum levels of CEA, tumor site, surgery modalities of CRC, CRM, number of positive lymph nodes, and chemotherapy were independent risk factors for LM from CRC. The nomograms we developed can be effectively used to forecast the risk of LM and predict the survival for LM from CRC.
