Abstract

Background: This study elucidated sex disparities in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) outcomes and investigated their interaction with race.

Methods: A total of 452 patients diagnosed with HNSCC were grouped by sex and race. Survival was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier curves with log rank tests and multivariable Cox models to assess sex/race associations while adjusting for confounders.

Results: Males were more likely to have advanced-stage cancer (79.6%, n = 257 vs. 70.5%, n = 91; p = 0.040). African American females had the best 5-year overall survival, followed by White females and Hispanic males. African American males had the worst survival (p = 0.0334). This sex disparity within the African American population persisted when controlling for confounding variables (HR = 0.343; 95% CI: 0.154-0.766; p = 0.0090) and was more pronounced in HPV-negative cases (HR = 0.184, 95% CI = 0.043-0.786).

Conclusions: Race-stratified analysis revealed a survival advantage for African American females over males. Further analysis shows that HPV status, alongside race, moderates the effect of sex on HNSCC outcomes.

性别和种族对头颈部鳞状细胞癌预后影响的研究
背景:本研究阐明了头颈部鳞状细胞癌(HNSCC)预后的性别差异,并调查了其与种族的相互作用。方法:将452例确诊为HNSCC的患者按性别和种族分组。生存率分析采用Kaplan-Meier曲线、对数秩检验和多变量Cox模型,在调整混杂因素的同时评估性别/种族之间的关联。结果:男性更容易患晚期癌症(79.6%,n = 257 vs. 70.5%, n = 91; p = 0.040)。非裔美国女性的5年总体生存率最高,其次是白人女性和西班牙裔男性。非裔美国男性的存活率最差(p = 0.0334)。在控制混杂变量后(HR = 0.343; 95% CI: 0.154-0.766; p = 0.0090),非裔美国人人群中的这种性别差异仍然存在,并且在hpv阴性病例中更为明显(HR = 0.184, 95% CI = 0.043-0.786)。结论:种族分层分析显示非裔美国女性比男性有生存优势。进一步的分析表明,HPV状态和种族一起,缓和了性别对HNSCC结果的影响。证据等级:3;
