We retrospectively studied young patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) to identify factors associated with disease-specific survival (DSS).
Patient and tumor characteristics of patients aged ≤45 who received treatments for non-metastatic HNSCC were collected to identify factors associated with DSS. Proportional hazards regression was applied separately for surgical and non-surgical patients.
230 patients were included. Surgical and non-surgical patients had similar DSS. Higher pathologic stages, positive margins, perineural invasion (PNI), extranodal extension and negative HPV status were associated with worse DSS for surgical patients and negative HPV status for non-surgical patients. In the multivariate analysis, pathologic stages, positive margins, and PNI were associated with worse DSS in surgical patients.
Pathologic stages, positive margins, and PNI are independently associated with worse DSS in young surgical HNSCC patients. PNI is a uniquely strong prognostic factor for young patients.
我们对年轻的头颈部鳞状细胞癌(HNSCC)患者进行了回顾性研究,以确定与疾病特异性生存(DSS)相关的因素。
收集年龄≤45岁的非转移性HNSCC患者的患者和肿瘤特征,以确定与DSS相关的因素。分别对手术和非手术患者应用比例风险回归分析。
共纳入230例患者。手术和非手术患者的DSS相似。对于手术患者,较高的病理分期、切缘阳性、神经周围侵犯(PNI)、结外扩展以及HPV阴性状态与较差的DSS相关;对于非手术患者,HPV阴性状态与较差的DSS相关。在多变量分析中,病理分期、切缘阳性和PNI与手术患者较差的DSS相关。
病理分期、切缘阳性和PNI与年轻的手术HNSCC患者较差的DSS独立相关。PNI是年轻患者独特的强预后因素。
