Objective To investigate the prognostic factors of primary gastric squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and develop a nomogram for predicting the survival of gastric SCC.Methods Data of 199 cases of primary gastric SCC from 2004 to 2015 were collected in the National Cancer Institute SEER database by SEER Stat 8.3.5 software. X-tile software was used to determine the best cut-off value of the age, SPSS 25.0 software was used to analyze the prognostic factors of gastric SCC and draw a Kaplan-Meier curve, and then the Cox proportional hazard regression model analysis was performed to obtain independent prognostic factors of gastric SCC. We used R studio software to visualize the model and draw a nomogram. C-index was used to evaluate the prediction effect of the nomogram. Bootstrap analyses with 1 000 resamples were applied to complete the internal verification of the nomogram.Results Among the 199 patients, survival rates for 1-, 3-, and 5-year were 40.7%, 22.4%, and 15.4%, respectively. Age (χ2=6.886, P=0.009), primary site (χ2=14.918, P=0.037), race (χ2=7.668, P=0.022), surgery (χ2=16.523, P<0.001), histologic type (χ2=9.372, P=0.009), T stage (χ2=11.639, P=0.009), and M stage (χ2=31.091, P<0.001) had a significant correlation with survival time of patients. The results of the Cox proportional hazard regression model showed that, age [HR=1.831, 95%CI was (1.289, 2.601)], primary site [HR=1.105, 95%CI was (1.019, 1.199)], M stage [HR=2.222, 95%CI was (1.552, 3.179)], and surgery [HR=0.561, 95%CI was (0.377, 0.835)] were independent prognostic factors affecting the survival of gastric SCC. Four independent prognostic factors contributed to constructing a nomogram with a C-index of 0.700.Conclusion In this research, a reliable predictive model is constructed and drawn into a nomogram, which can be used for clinical reference.
