Adjuvant treatment in elderly patients undergoing transoral surgery for HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer
Objectives
Older adults are an increasing proportion of patients with HPV-related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC), and transoral surgery (TOS) remains a valid treatment option for this population. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of adjuvant therapy on survival outcomes in this group.
Methods
This retrospective study analyzed data from the National Cancer Database (NCDB) for older adults (≥65 years) diagnosed with OPSCC and treated with primary TOS. Patients were stratified into low, intermediate, and high-risk groups according to specific pathological criteria. The survival benefit of adjuvant therapy was assessed using a multivariable Cox regression model.
Results
A total of 998 patients undergoing primary TOS for HPV-related OPSCC were classified in low (N = 347, 34.8 %), intermediate (N = 261, 26.1 %) and high (N = 390, 39.1 %) risk groups. Adjuvant treatment showed no significant benefit in the low (adjusted HR: 0.70; 95 % CI: 0.33–1.47) and intermediate (HR: 0.73; 95 % CI: 0.36–1.48) risk groups. Adjuvant treatment was beneficial in the high risk group (adjusted HR: 0.40, 95 % CI: 0.25–0.62), with adjuvant chemoradiotherapy (adjusted HR: 0.28 95 % CI: 0.16–0.48; p < 0.001) showing a slight advantage compared to radiotherapy alone (adjusted HR: 0.61, 95 % CI: 0.36–1.03).
Conclusion
The findings suggest that adjuvant therapy should be selectively applied in older adults with OPSCC, with a significant survival benefit observed primarily in high-risk patients. Future studies are needed to confirm the safety and efficacy of treatment de-escalation strategies in this population.
