BACKGROUND: Determining the best approach for esophageal cancer and predicting accurate prognosis are critical. Multiple studies evaluated characteristics associated with overall survival, and several prediction models have been developed. This study aimed to evaluate existing models and perform external validation of selected models. METHODS: A retrospective investigation of a multi-site institutional enterprise for patients with a diagnosis of esophageal cancer between 2013-2014 was performed. Selected survival prediction models included the Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center (RPCCC) calculator, Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) calculator, and two nomograms published by Shapiro et al. and Sun et al. One-year overall survival, level of agreement, and performance for each model were evaluated. RESULTS: A total of 104 patients were included and used to assess the prediction models. One-year overall survival was 0.76. Different calculators tended to rank patients similarly; however, they did not agree on predicted overall survival. The least disparity in correlation was observed between OHSU and Shapiro calculators. Shapiro's model achieved the highest performance [area under the curve (AUC) =0.63]. CONCLUSIONS: Selected models showed fair results in estimating individual overall survival, although none achieved a high performance. While these tools may support the decision-making process for esophageal cancer patients, their implementation in clinical practice requires improved refinement to optimize their clinical utility. 2021 Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology.
