We investigate the association of postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) volumes and salivary function in oral cavity SCC (OSCC).
OSCC patients undergoing PORT 2005-2021 underwent modified Schirmer test (MST) pre-PORT, 6 and/or 12 months post-PORT. Hyposalivation rates were compared by PORT volumes. MVA identified predictors for chronic hyposalivation.
Among 165 eligible patients, 88 (53%) received bilateral, 66 (40%) ipsilateral, and 11 (7%) no-neck (primary-only) PORT. Baseline characteristics were similar, except more N2b/N2c disease received bilateral PORT vs. ipsilateral or no-neck (60% vs. 36% vs. 0%, p < 0.001). Baseline hyposalivation was similar (26% vs. 30% vs. 18%, p = 0.67). Hyposalivation occurred more frequently in bilateral vs. ipsilateral vs. no-neck PORT at 6 (90% vs. 62% vs. 9%) and 12 months (90% vs. 48% vs. 0%) (both p < 0.001). On MVA, bilateral neck PORT and smoking predicted chronic hyposalivation.
Increasing PORT volumes predict saliva function recovery and chronic hyposalivation, informing treatment discussions.
我们研究口腔鳞状细胞癌(OSCC)术后放疗(PORT)体积与唾液功能之间的关联。
2005年至2021年接受PORT的OSCC患者在PORT前、PORT后6个月和/或12个月接受改良的Schirmer试验(MST)。通过PORT体积比较唾液分泌减少率。多变量分析(MVA)确定慢性唾液分泌减少的预测因素。
在165例符合条件的患者中,88例(53%)接受双侧PORT,66例(40%)接受同侧PORT,11例(7%)接受无颈部(仅原发灶)PORT。除了更多N2b/N2c期疾病患者接受双侧PORT而非同侧或无颈部PORT外(60%对36%对0%,p<0.001),基线特征相似。基线时唾液分泌减少情况相似(26%对30%对18%,p=0.67)。在6个月(90%对62%对9%)和12个月(90%对48%对0%)时,双侧PORT组比同侧PORT组和无颈部PORT组唾液分泌减少更频繁(均p<0.001)。在多变量分析中,双侧颈部PORT和吸烟是慢性唾液分泌减少的预测因素。
PORT体积增加预示唾液功能恢复及慢性唾液分泌减少,为治疗讨论提供依据。
