Identification of a nomogram based on an 8-lncRNA signature as a novel diagnostic biomarker for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

class="figure-viewer-img"

Validation of the model by the external validation set GSE65858 (n=270). (A) Distribution of 8-lncRNA-based signature scores, lncRNA expression levels and patient survival durations in the external validation set. (B) Kaplan-Meier curves of OS based on the 8-lncRNA signature. (C) ROC curve analyses based on the 8-lncRNA signature. (D) ROC curves according to the nomogram and lncRNA signature score. (E) Calibration curves of the nomogram for the estimation of survival rates at 3 and 5 years. (F) Kaplan-Meier curves of OS according to the total risk score.
