Abstract
Introduction
We retrospectively studied young patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) to identify factors associated with disease-specific survival (DSS).
Methods
Patient and tumor characteristics of patients aged ≤45 who received treatments for non-metastatic HNSCC were collected to identify factors associated with DSS. Proportional hazards regression was applied separately for surgical and non-surgical patients.
Results
230 patients were included. Surgical and non-surgical patients had similar DSS. Higher pathologic stages, positive margins, perineural invasion (PNI), extranodal extension and negative HPV status were associated with worse DSS for surgical patients and negative HPV status for non-surgical patients. In the multivariate analysis, pathologic stages, positive margins, and PNI were associated with worse DSS in surgical patients.
Conclusion
Pathologic stages, positive margins, and PNI are independently associated with worse DSS in young surgical HNSCC patients. PNI is a uniquely strong prognostic factor for young patients.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Otolaryngology is a bimonthly journal devoted to clinically-oriented research papers of the highest scientific standards dealing with:
current otorhinolaryngological practice
audiology, otology, balance, rhinology, larynx, voice and paediatric ORL
head and neck oncology
head and neck plastic and reconstructive surgery
continuing medical education and ORL training
The emphasis is on high quality new work in the clinical field and on fresh, original research.
Each issue begins with an editorial expressing the personal opinions of an individual with a particular knowledge of a chosen subject. The main body of each issue is then devoted to original papers carrying important results for those working in the field. In addition, topical review articles are published discussing a particular subject in depth, including not only the opinions of the author but also any controversies surrounding the subject.
• Negative/null results
In order for research to advance, negative results, which often make a valuable contribution to the field, should be published. However, articles containing negative or null results are frequently not considered for publication or rejected by journals. We welcome papers of this kind, where appropriate and valid power calculations are included that give confidence that a negative result can be relied upon.
