Kattan Nomogram to Assess Risk of Deferred TreatmentSource: M. Kattan et al, Cancer 112: 69-74, 2008 (PDF)
A nomogram is a a graphic representation that consists of several lines marked off to scale and arranged in such a way that by using a straightedge to connect known values on two lines an unknown value can be read at the point of intersection with another line (Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary). Specific patient examples, where the Kattan nomogram is applied to predict risk, are given here.
