Accuracy and Prognostic Significance of Oncologists’ Estimates and Scenarios for Survival Time in Advanced Gastric Cancer

Worst-case, typical, and best-case scenarios for survival, based on simple multiples of an individual's expected survival time (EST), estimated by their oncologist, are a useful way of formulating and explaining prognosis. We aimed to determine the accuracy and prognostic significance of oncologists' estimates of EST, and the accuracy of the resulting scenarios for survival time, in advanced gastric cancer.Sixty-six oncologists estimated the EST...
