Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is an important test before thorough treatment of melanoma. The aim of this study was to investigate cancer-specific survival (CSS) in patients with head and neck CMM after negative SLNB and to analyze predictors of decreased survival.MethodsBased on the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database, a study was conducted using data from patients with head and neck CMM after negative SLNB. The demographic, clinical, and pathological characteristics of the case population were analyzed. Cox univariate, Kaplan-Meier analysis, and multivariate Cox regression models were used to explore predictors of decreased survival; propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was used to reduce confounding bias, and outcomes were compared between the wide margin excision and narrow margin excision groups.ResultsA total of 1597 confirmed head and neck CMM patients with SLNB-negative were found. A Breslow>4.0 mm was the highest independent risk predictor for patients (HR 3.82, 95% CI 2.04-7.16, <i>P</i> < .001), and significant risk independent predictors also included a high mitotic rate >4 (HR 1.54, 95% CI 1.06-2.25, <i>P</i> = .023). Age< 60 years old was a significant survival predictor (HR 0.56, 95% CI .37-.85, <i>P</i> = .007), and not scalp and neck CMM were also important factors for longer survival (auricle skin: HR .51, 95% CI .29-.90, <i>P</i> = .02; unspecified parts of face: HR .59, 95% CI .40-.87, <i>P</i> = .007). After harmonizing baseline data by PSM, it was found that the extent of surgical resection did not affect patient survival.ConclusionThis study analyzed the risk factors affecting CSS in patients with CMM of the head and neck region with SLNB-negative and observed a statistically significant difference in the prognosis of patients with CMM in different aesthetic subunits of the head and neck region. Close clinical follow-up for this population is necessary, and periodic medical examinations should be carried out.</p>","PeriodicalId":1,"journal":{"name":"Accounts of Chemical Research","volume":" ","pages":"NP441-NP449"},"PeriodicalIF":16.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40368927","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Early postoperative adverse events within 24 h of surgery were recorded and analyzed.ResultsOverall, 99 patients who underwent EAS were included. The age at the time of the intervention ranged from 8 months to 18 years. Fifty-eight patients, median age was 4.83 years, underwent papilloma debulking with no high likelihood of PARE in this patient subgroup (OR = 0.48; 0.16-1.44). Twenty-five patients, median age was 9.72 years, underwent balloon dilation of laryngotracheal stenosis with no increase in the likelihood of PARE in this patient population (OR = 2.02; 0.65-6.28).

Five measurements related to the course of the GPC were conducted, from cranial to caudal. The anatomical landmarks were the inferior bony border of the sphenopalatine foramen to the cranial entrance of the GPC, the distance from the most dorsal, and inferior bony insertion of the middle turbinate and the inferior turbinate bones to the anterior margin of the GPC. The angle between the horizontal palatine bone and the GPC, its length, and the prevalence of osteophytes in GPC was also assessed.ResultsThe mean distance of the inferior border of the sphenopalatine foramen to the cranial entrance of the GPC was 9.39 ± 1.72 mm.
