Abstract
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to evaluate risk factors that influence overall survival (OS)/disease-free survival (DFS)/locoregional recurrence-free survival (LRFS), and distant metastases-free survival (DMFS) in patients with high-risk primary salivary gland carcinoma who underwent surgery and postoperative (chemo)radiotherapy with curative intention.
METHODS: We reviewed data of 63 patients with high-risk primary salivary gland carcinoma in a retrospective single-center audit.
RESULTS: At a median follow-up of 31 months (range, 5-145 months), cumulative OS and DFS were 91.7%, 77.6%, and 62.9%, and 82.1%, 65.6%, and 57.7%, respectively, after 1, 2, and 5 years. LRFS and DMFS were 92%, 86%, and 86%, and 83.4%, 70.4%, and 62.3% after 1, 2, and 5 years, respectively. Of all patient-related, tumor-related, and treatment-related factors, high-grade histology (G3) was the only factor in univariate and multivariate analysis that was predictive for a shorter DMFS (low/intermediate vs high-grade: 100%, 100%, and 89.4% vs 72.9%, 54.3%, and 42.8% after 1, 2, and 5 years, respectively) and a shorter DFS (low/intermediate vs high-grade: 100%, 90%, and 84.4% vs 71.2%, 50.1%, and 39.4% after 1, 2, and 5 years, respectively) and OS (low/intermediate vs high-grade: 100%, 100%, and 86.5% vs 86.5%, 63.2%, and 46.5% after 1, 2, and 5 years, respectively).
CONCLUSION: High-grade tumor histology is a highly significant predictor of a shorter DMFS, OS, and DFS in salivary gland carcinoma, irrespective of histological subtype. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Head Neck, 2016.
