Nomograms for predicting 5-, 7-, and 9-year OS probabilities in patients with ACCHN assign a point score based on six key predictors. The total points accumulated by a patient are plotted on the “Total Points” axis to estimate the corresponding OS probabilities. The "linear predictor (lp)" reflects the relative weight of each variable, mapped to a corresponding line. The possibility of 5-, 7-, and 9-year OS is determined by drawing a line downward from the total points. ACCHN, adenoid cystic carcinoma of the head and neck; OS, overall survival.
