Survival outcomes and prognostic factors in pediatric head and neck squamous cell carcinoma: A population-based study.
Objective: This population-based cohort study aimed to offer a thorough analysis of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) in pediatric and adolescent populations.
Methods: We analyzed data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program, covering the period from 2000 to 2020. We included cases of primary HNSCC in patients aged 0-19 years with documented causes of death. Survival analysis was conducted using Kaplan-Meier methods, and differences in survival rates were assessed with the log-rank test. Cox proportional-hazards regression was applied to identify factors influencing overall survival (OS).
Results: A total of 143 pediatric HNSCC cases were identified, with an average age of 15.4 years at diagnosis and a predominance of male patients (65 %). Tumor distribution was nearly equal between the oral cavity (46.8 %) and the nasopharynx (53.2 %). Nasopharyngeal HNSCC was associated with significantly better overall survival compared to oral cavity HNSCC (p = 0.017). Surgical treatment notably improved survival in oral cavity HNSCC cases (p = 0.022). Cox regression analysis revealed tumor site and chemotherapy as independent predictors of survival.
Conclusions: Pediatric HNSCC is a rare condition with diverse survival outcomes based on tumor location. Our study highlights the effectiveness of surgical treatment for oral cavity HNSCC and underscores the importance of tumor site in prognostic assessments for overall survival.
