Carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma (CXPA) of the parotid gland is a high-grade cancer and the prognosis of this cancer has not been compared with non-CXPA high-grade primary parotid cancer.
Retrospective medical chart review of patients with surgically treated high-grade primary parotid cancer (21 CXPA and 52 non-CXPA) was performed with correlation with disease-specific survival, locoregional recurrence, and distant recurrence.
Despite having similar stage of cancer and extent of surgical resection, patients with CXPA had a lower disease-specific survival compared to non-CXPA high-grade primary parotid cancer (p = .02). Salivary duct cancer (SDC) was the commonest histologic variant in both cohorts and around 40% of patients with SDC died of distant recurrence that occurred within 3 years from diagnosis.
CXPA of the parotid gland is a more aggressive cancer compared to non-CXPA high-grade primary parotid cancer. SDC was associated with a high chance of delayed distant recurrence, which contributed directly to the mortality of this cancer.
腮腺多形性腺瘤癌变(CXPA)是一种高级别癌症,且该癌症的预后尚未与非CXPA高级别原发性腮腺癌进行比较。
对接受手术治疗的高级别原发性腮腺癌患者(21例CXPA和52例非CXPA)进行回顾性病历审查,并与疾病特异性生存率、局部区域复发和远处复发相关联。
尽管CXPA患者和非CXPA高级别原发性腮腺癌患者的癌症分期和手术切除范围相似,但CXPA患者的疾病特异性生存率低于非CXPA高级别原发性腮腺癌患者(p = 0.02)。涎腺导管癌(SDC)是两个队列中最常见的组织学变体,约40%的SDC患者死于诊断后3年内发生的远处复发。
与非CXPA高级别原发性腮腺癌相比,腮腺CXPA是一种侵袭性更强的癌症。SDC与远处复发延迟的高几率相关,这直接导致了该癌症的死亡率。
