The impact of elective neck treatment (ENT), whether by irradiation or dissection, on the prognosis of patients with cN0 sinonasal carcinomas (SNCs) remains an understudied issue. METHODS: A systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature were performed according to PRISMA guidelines in order to assess regional nodal relapse rate after ENT compared to observation in cN0 SNCs patients. Twenty-six articles for a total of 1178 clinically N0 patients were analyzed. Globally, the 5-year overall survival was 52%; 34.6% of patients underwent ENT and 140 regional recurrences were registered (5.9% in the ENT cohort and 15% in the observation group). ENT appears to confer a lower risk of regional recurrence compared to observation alone, with a cumulative OR of 0.38 (95% CI 0.25-0.58). Our meta-analysis supports the efficacy of ENT for reducing the risk of regional recurrence, but its overall impact on survival remains uncertain.
选择性颈部治疗(ENT),无论是通过放疗还是手术切除,对cN0期鼻窦癌(SNC)患者预后的影响仍是一个研究不足的问题。方法:根据PRISMA指南对文献进行系统综述和荟萃分析,以评估cN0期SNC患者接受ENT治疗与观察相比的区域淋巴结复发率。分析了26篇文章,共1178例临床N0期患者。总体而言,5年总生存率为52%;34.6%的患者接受了ENT治疗,记录到140例区域复发(ENT队列中为5.9%,观察组中为15%)。与单纯观察相比,ENT似乎能降低区域复发风险,累积OR为0.38(95%CI 0.25-0.58)。我们的荟萃分析支持ENT在降低区域复发风险方面的有效性,但其对生存的总体影响仍不确定。
