Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the clinical features, surgical outcomes, and predictors of progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with Endolymphatic Sac Tumors (ELSTs).
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 15 cases from Beijing Tiantan Hospital and 237 from literature (1988-2023), focusing on patients with pathologically confirmed intracranial or skull ELSTs who had comprehensive treatment and follow-up records. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were employed to identify factors influencing PFS.
Results: Cases from our institute comprised 10 males and 5 females with an average age of 39.1 years. Among these, 86.7% underwent gross total resection (GTR). During the follow-up period, two patients (13.3%) were lost to follow-up. After a mean follow-up of 74.9 months, one patient experienced recurrence and another died from unrelated causes. A review of literature identified 237 additional patients, including 134 females (56.5%), with an average age of 39.8 years; 22.8% of these patients had von Hippel-Lindau disease. The GTR rate was 69.2%. After a mean follow up of 53.2 months, 33 recurrences occurred, and the median PFS was 48 months. Additionally, eight patients died during the follow-up period, none of the deaths were attributed to ELSTs. Multivariate analysis identified GTR (HR 0.279, 95% CI 0.086-0.903, p = 0.033) as a significant protective factor against recurrence among the pooled cases.
Conclusions: GTR is crucial for improving PFS in ELST patients, emphasizing the need for advanced surgical techniques and long-term follow-up due to potential recurrences.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
