Abstract
Background: Anal squamous cell carcinoma is a rare cancer with increased occurrence of multiple cancers before and after the anal squamous cell carcinoma diagnosis. However, there are limited data on this aspect. This multi-institutional analysis aimed to define the occurrence of malignancies before and after anal squamous cell carcinoma, time trends, and impact on survival and to identify prognostic factors.
Methods: Initial primary malignancy was defined as a malignancy occurring before the anal squamous cell carcinoma. Second primary malignancy was defined as a distinct primary cancer that developed after anal squamous cell carcinoma diagnosis. Retrospective multi-institutional chart review was done. Progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival, and prognostic factors were evaluated.
Results: A total of 647 patients with anal squamous cell carcinoma treated with curative intent were analyzed. Median age was 61.2 years with 72% as females. Of these, 150 (23.3%) patients had multiple malignancies with initial primary malignancy in 16% and second primary malignancy in 8%. Patients without prior cancer had better 5-year PFS (81.2% vs 67.2%, P = .011) and overall survival (81% vs 69%, P = .008) compared with those with prior cancer. Second primary malignancies had a statistically significant adverse impact on PFS (hazard ratio [HR] = 4.22) and overall survival (HR = 3.56). Females had better 5-year PFS (82% vs 70%, P = .016) as compared with males. The median time interval for developing anal squamous cell carcinoma (as second primary malignancy) after initial primary malignancy was 9.32 years.
Conclusions: Anal squamous cell carcinoma patients have an increased risk of multiple malignancies. These patients who have prior cancers have inferior outcomes. Second primary malignancy is a poor prognostic factor in patients with anal cancer. Second primary malignancy can develop years after treatment of primary anal squamous cell carcinoma.
背景:肛门鳞状细胞癌(ASCC)是一种罕见的癌症,在ASCC诊断前后多发。然而,这方面的数据有限。这项多机构分析旨在确定ASCC前后恶性肿瘤的发生,时间趋势,对生存的影响,并确定预后因素。材料和方法:初始原发性恶性肿瘤(IPM)被定义为发生在ASCC之前的恶性肿瘤。第二原发恶性肿瘤(SPM)被定义为在ASCC诊断后发展的一种独特的原发癌症。进行回顾性多机构图表审查。评估无进展生存期(PFS)、总生存期(OS)和预后因素。结果:分析了647例ASCC患者的治疗意图。中位年龄为61.23岁,其中72%为女性。150例(23.3%)有多发性恶性肿瘤,其中IPM占16%,SPM占8%。与既往癌症患者相比,无既往癌症患者的5年PFS (81.2% vs 67.2%, p = 0.011)和OS (81% vs 69%, p = 0.008)更好。SPMs对PFS (HR 4.22)和OS (HR 3.56)有显著的不利影响。与男性相比,女性有更好的5年PFS (82% vs 70%, p = 0.016)。IPM后发展为ASCC(作为SPM)的中位时间间隔为9.32年。结论:ASCC患者患多种恶性肿瘤的风险增加。既往患有癌症的患者预后较差。对于没有任何既往癌症的患者,SPM是一个预后不良的因素。原发性ASCC治疗多年后可发展为SPM。
