Fig. 4 Nomogram predicting AIPC-specific survival. PSA ADT init.: PSA at start of androgen deprivation therapy ADT: androgen deprivation therapy AIPC: androgen insensitive prostate cancer Time ADT≥AIPC(M): Time from ADT to AIPC diagnosis. 12(M)AIPC-Spec.Surv. – probability of AIPC-specific survival at 12 months after AIPC diagnosis 24(M)AIPC-Spec.Surv – probability of AIPC-specific survival at 24 months after AIPC diagnosis 36(M)AIPC-Spec.Surv – probability of AIPC-specific survival at 36 months after AIPC diagnosis 48(M)AIPC-Spec.Surv – probability of AIPC-specific survival at 48 months after AIPC diagnosis 60(M)AIPC-Spec.Surv – probability of AIPC-specific survival at 60 months after AIPC diagnosis Instruction for physician: Locate the patient’s PSA at the time of androgen-deprivation therapy initiation (PSA at ADT init.) on the PSA at ADT init. axis. Draw a line straight upwards to the Points axis to determine how many points towards AIPC-specific survival the patient receives. Repeat this process for the other predictors, each time drawing a straight upward line to the Points axis. Sum the points for each predictor and locate this sum on the Total Points axis. Draw a line straight down to find the patient’s probability of AIPC-specific survival at 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 months after androgen insensitive prostate cancer (AIPC) diagnosis, assuming he does not die of another cause first.
