Background. Marital status has been reported to be a prognostic factor in multiple malignancies. However, its prognostic value on gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) have not yet been determined. The objective of the present analysis was to assess the effects of marital status on survival in patients with GISTs. Methods. The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database was used to analyze 6195 patients who were diagnosed with GISTs from 2001 to 2014. We also use Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox regression to analyze the impact of marital status on cancer-specific survival (CSS). Results. Patients in the married group had more frequency in white people, more high/moderate grade tumors, and were more likely to receive surgery. Widowed patients had a higher proportion of women, a greater proportion of older patients (>60 years), and more common site of the stomach. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that marital status was an independent prognostic factor for GISTs (P<0.001). Married patients had better CSS than unmarried patients (P<0.001). Subgroup analysis suggested that widowed patients had the lowest CSS compared with all other patients. Conclusions. Marital status is a prognostic factor for survival in patients with GISTs, and widowed patients are at greater risk of cancer-specific mortality.

Abstract Purpose This study will investigate the relationship between marital status and prognosis in small cell lung cancer patients. Methods Patients of SCLC was selected from the SEER database (1973-2013) and the patient sinformation. Kaplan-Meier analysis, log-rank test and Cox regression model were used for studying patientprognosis. Result 27069 SCLC patients eligible for inclusion were screened from the SEER database. Kaplan-meier test showed that the median OS values were 8, 7, 6 months in married, single and SDW patients, respectively. Conclusion This study shows that marital status is an independent prognostic factor for overall survival in SCLC patients. Married patients with small cell lung cancer have better prognosis than those who were divorced/separated, widowed and single.
