Abstract
Background
Limited information exists regarding the epidemiology, metastasis, and survival of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP).
Objective
To measure DFSP incidence and assess metastasis and survival outcomes.
Methods
Incidence rate, overall and DFSP-specific survival outcomes for primary DFSP tumors contained in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) registry were analyzed via quasi-Poisson regression, Cox, and competing risk analyses.
Results
DFSP incidence rate was 6.25 (95% CI, 5.93-6.57) cases per million person-years with significantly higher incidence observed among Black individuals than White individuals (8.74 vs 4.53). DFSP with larger tumor size (≥3 cm, odds ratio [OR]: 2.24; 95% CI, 1.62-3.12; P < .001) and tumors located on the head and neck (OR: 4.88; 95% CI, 3.31-7.18; P < .001), and genitalia (OR: 3.16; 95% CI, 1.17-8.52; P = .023) were associated with significantly increased risk of metastasis whereas higher socioeconomic status was associated with significantly decreased risk of metastasis. Larger tumor size (≥3 cm), regardless of location, and age (≥60 years) were associated with significantly worse overall and cancer-specific survival.
Limitations
Retrospective design of SEER.
Conclusion
DFSP incidence is 2-fold higher among Black than White individuals. The risk of DFSP metastasis is significantly increased with tumor size ≥3 cm and tumors located on head and neck, and genitalia. Larger tumor size (≥ 3 cm), regardless of location, and age (≥60 years) are the most important prognostic indicators of survival.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology (JAAD) is the official scientific publication of the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD). Its primary goal is to cater to the educational requirements of the dermatology community. Being the top journal in the field, JAAD publishes original articles that have undergone peer review. These articles primarily focus on clinical, investigative, and population-based studies related to dermatology. Another key area of emphasis is research on healthcare delivery and quality of care. JAAD also highlights high-quality, cost-effective, and innovative treatments within the field. In addition to this, the journal covers new diagnostic techniques and various other topics relevant to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of skin, hair, and nail disorders.
