Abstract
Objectives
To systematically analyze the regional disease control of nasal vestibule squamous cell carcinoma (NVSCC) after primary treatment.
Methods
The study was performed according to the PRISMA guidelines, searching on Scopus, PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar databases.
Results
A total of 37 studies with 1861 patients (70.5 % males; median age of 58.2 years) were included. Overall, the cumulative regional recurrence (RR) rate was 10.7 % (95 %CI: 8.4 %–13.5 %) with a median follow-up of 51.7 months. The RR rate in clinical node negative patients who didn’t undergo any elective neck treatment was 13.7 % (n = 548, 95 %CI: 9.7 %–19.0 %). When stratified by T stage, regardless of the classification used, RR rate was 10.4 % (n = 750, 95 % CI: 7.9 %–13.5 %) for T1-T2 tumors and 25.5 % (n = 102, 95 % CI: 16.4 %–37.4 %) for T3-T4 tumors.
Conclusion
Elective neck treatment does not seem justified in patients with early-stage primary NVSCC. However, for locally advanced tumors, elective neck treatment should be strongly considered.
