Abstract
Comprehensive information on genetic alterations in salivary gland cancer (SGC) is limited. This study aimed to elucidate the genetic and clinical characteristics of patients with SGC using the Center for Cancer Genomics and Advanced Therapeutics (C-CAT) database, a Japanese national genomic database. We analyzed data of 776 patients with SGC registered in the C-CAT database between June 1, 2019, and June 30, 2023. Adenoid cystic carcinoma was the most common histologic type, followed by salivary duct carcinoma (SDC) and adenocarcinoma not otherwise specified. Genetic data of 681 patients receiving FoundationOne® CDx were analyzed. We identified specific features of the combination of TP53 and CDKN2A alterations among the histological types. Specific LYN amplification was mainly detected in carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma and myoepithelial carcinoma. For SDC, the frequency of ERBB2 and BRAF alterations were higher in cases with metastatic lesions than in those with primary lesions. Although 28.6% patients were offered recommended treatment options, only 6.8% received the recommended treatments. This study highlights the differences in genetic alterations among the histological types of SGC, with comprehensive genomic profiling tests revealing lower drug accessibility. These findings could contribute to the development of personalized treatment for patients with SGC.

[PMID: 38841169 PMCID: PMC11150835 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2024.1347339] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2023] [Accepted: 04/29/2024] [Indexed: 06/07/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective This population-based study aims to assess the survival benefits of selective neck dissection (SND) compared to neck observation in patients with T1/T2N0M0 major salivary gland malignancy (MSGC). Methods We conducted a retrospective review of T1/T2N0M0 MSGC patients who underwent primary tumor surgical extirpation with or without elective neck dissection in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (SEER) from 2004-2015. The impact of SND and clinical variables on overall survival (OS) and disease-specific survival (DSS) was evaluated using Univariate and Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression models. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were generated, and survival rates were assessed via the log-rank test. Results Of 3778 post-operative T1-T2N0M0 MSGC patients, 2305 underwent elective neck dissection, while 1473 did not. Median follow-up was 106 months. Univariate and Multivariate analysis identified SND as a prognostic factor for OS in all the study population. After stratified analysis, we found that in the poorly high-grade (differentiated and undifferentiated) patients, the survival showed a significant OS and DSS benefit after receiving SND compared with the neck observations [HR for OS (95%CI): 0.571(0.446-0.731), P<0.001] and [HR for DSS (95%CI): 0.564(0.385-0.826), P=0.003], other than in the well differentiated or moderately differentiated subgroup. Especially, when the pathological is squamous cell carcinoma, the results show that the people underwent SND had better prognosis, not only in OS [HR (95%CI): 0.532(0.322-0.876), P=0.013], but also in DSS [HR (95%CI): 0.330(0.136-0.797), P=0.014]. The multivariate analysis also yielded encouraging results, compared with neck observation, receiving SND bought about a significant independent OS (adjusted HR, 0.555; 95% CI, 0.328-0.941; P=0.029) and DSS (adjusted HR, 0.349; 95% CI, 0.142-0.858; P=0.022) advantage in high grade squamous cell carcinoma MSGC patients. The Kaplan-Meier survival curves also demonstrated that adjusted SND still had significantly better OS(P=0.029) and DSS(P=0.022) than the observation group in patients with high-grade squamous cell carcinoma of MSGC. Conclusion Poorly differentiated and undifferentiated T1/T2N0M0 major salivary gland malignancy treated with selective neck dissection demonstrated superior survival compared to neck observation, especially in the pathological subtype of squamous cell carcinoma. These findings suggest the potential benefits of multimodal therapy for appropriately selected patients, emphasizing significant clinical implications.

Abstract
PURPOSE The recurrence rate of parotid gland cancer is high, but research on the prognosis of recurrent parotid gland cancer (RPC) is relatively limited. We aim to determine the potential prognosis factors of RPC. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort analysis. SETTING Tertiary cancer center. METHODS We conducted a retrospective review from 2012 to 2021 on RPC patients treated at the China National Cancer Center (CNCC). To analyze the impact of various variables on overall survival (OS) after recurrence, a univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard model was employed. RESULTS A total of 50/218 (23.0%) patients diagnosed with RPC and underwent surgery. The 5-year OS of all RPC patients in this cohort was 61.9%. 5 of 50 patients (10%) exhibited intraparotid node (IPN) metastasis. By univariate and multivariate analyses, we found that IPN metastasis was one of the prognostic factors of OS (p = 0.039) in RPC patients. The presence of IPN metastasis was also related to poor survival in individuals with negative cervical lymph nodes (CN0) (p = 0.011). In terms of the influence of surgical margins on prognosis, our findings revealed that RPC patients with negative margins exhibited a higher survival result than those with positive margins (p = 0.002). CONCLUSION According to this study, IPN metastasis indicate a high incidence of mortality in recurrent parotid cancer patients. Particularly, in CN0 patients, the presence of IPN metastasis was associated with poor survival in CN0 patients.

Abstract
Salivary gland cancers are a rare, histologically diverse group of tumors. They range from indolent to aggressive and can cause significant morbidity and mortality. Surgical resection remains the mainstay of treatment, but radiation and systemic therapy are also critical parts of the care paradigm. Given the rarity and heterogeneity of these cancers, they are best managed in a multidisciplinary program. In this review, the authors highlight standards of care as well as exciting new research for salivary gland cancers that will strive for better patient outcomes.

Postoperative Chemoradiotherapy versus Radiotherapy Alone in Major Salivary Gland Cancers: A Stratified Study Based on the External Validation of the Distant Metastasis Risk Score Model. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14225583. [PMID: 36428676 PMCID: PMC9688786 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14225583] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2022] [Revised: 10/26/2022] [Accepted: 11/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The role of additional chemoradiotherapy (CRT) for distant metastasis (DM) on the resected malignancy of the major salivary gland (SGM) remained unknown. We conducted this study to externally validate a recently reported DM risk score model and compare the survival outcome between adjuvant CRT and RT alone. MATERIALS We retrospectively reviewed the patients with SGM following postoperative radiotherapy (PORT). The cumulative incidence of DM was assessed using a competing risk method. Multivariate analysis was performed with Cox proportional-hazards regression to identify significant predictors for DM. Patients were classified as high- and low-risk subgroups with the cutoff value of the DM risk score model. The inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) was conducted to minimize the bias of the groups. RESULTS A total of 586 eligible patients were analyzed and 67 cases underwent adjuvant CRT. The 5-year incidence of DM was 19.5% (95% CI 16.0-23.0%). The model reasonably discriminated the DM risk between the high- and low-risk subgroup in our cohort, and the c-index was 0.75. No survival benefit was observed for the CRT group compared with RT alone in the entire cohort after IPTW (p = 0.095). After subgroup analysis, increased mortality was identified with the administration of CRT in the low-risk subset (p = 0.002) while no significant difference in OS was illustrated in the high-risk subgroup (p = 0.98). CONCLUSIONS This external validation provides further exploration of the DM risk score model in major SGM. Our results demonstrated no support for the utility of additional chemotherapy to PORT in the major SGM, especially in the low-risk subgroup of patients with DM.

Abstract
Recurrent salivary gland carcinomas (RSCs) are poorly characterized and their clinical features and treatment options have not yet been fully described. The goal of this study was to analyze the therapeutic strategies and oncological outcomes of RSC patients through a literature review analysis. This systematic review was performed according to the PRISMA statements. Inclusion criteria for the systematic review were based on the population, intervention, comparison, and outcomes according to (PICO) framework. Two thousand seven hundred and four records were selected and 1817 recurrences were studied. Three hundred and sixty-five patients underwent salvage surgery (20.1%) and their 5-year mortality rate, overall survival and disease-free survival were 35%, 70%, and 42%, respectively. RSCs are aggressive neoplasms with a high rate of distant metastases (28.9%). Salvage surgery can be considered in patients with limited local and/or regional recurrences, even in case of single distant relapse, appearing within the first 3 years of follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Retrospective analysis of the utility of adjuvant radiation (RT) or chemoradiation (CRT) and identify prognostic features for patients with high-risk head and neck salivary gland cancers. METHODS From 1/1997 to 12/2017, 108 patients underwent surgery, and RT (n = 50) or CRT (n = 58) for positive lymph node(s), extracapsular extension, perineural invasion, lymphovascular space invasion, positive/close margin, and/or grade 3 disease. Outcomes were estimated with the Kaplan-Meier method. Significant predictors identified through regression analyses were incorporated into multivariable regression (MVA). Toxicities were compared using chi-square. RESULTS The median follow-up was 52 months (range: 3-226). The number of risk factors (RFs) between RT and CRT groups were: 0 to 1 (44% vs 7%), 2 to 3 (48% vs 41%), or 4 to 6 (8% vs 52%), respectively (P < .01). On MVA, stage 3 or 4 disease predicted worse outcomes including overall survival (HR 4.55, P = .01). Increasing number of RFs predicted worse disease-free survival, distant metastasis-free survival, and overall survival (2-3 RFs: HR 3.38, P = .03; 4-6 RFs: HR 5.78, P < .01), but not locoregional control (P = .54). So, adjuvant CRT may have provided comparable locoregional control for patients with more adverse features, but the CRT did not translate into improved distant control. There was no difference in acute or late grade 3+ toxicities, or parenteral nutrition (P = .98, P = .85, and P = .83), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Adjuvant CRT provides adequate locoregional control in patients with more adverse RFs. The absolute number of RFs serves prognostic significance and should be considered in future prospective trials.

Treatment Outcome of a Combined Dose-Escalated Treatment Regime With Helical TomoTherapy® and Active Raster-Scanning Carbon Ion Boost for Adenocarcinomas of the Head and Neck. Front Oncol 2019; 9:755. [PMID: 31475108 PMCID: PMC6705231 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2019.00755] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2019] [Accepted: 07/26/2019] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction: Data regarding treatment and survival outcome of patients with adenocarcinoma of the head and neck are limited to case reports and case series. As a consequence of lacking evidence, treatment guidelines do not exist. We aimed to analyze the effect of a bimodal irradiation regime with intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and carbon ion boost on local control (LC) and survival in adenocarcinoma patients for a large patient collective. Materials and Methods: Patient records of eighty consecutive patients treated between 2009 and 2018 were analyzed retrospectively and Kaplan-Meier estimates for LC, overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were compared among patients with salivary gland adenocarcinoma (SGAC), salivary duct adenocarcinoma (SDAC), and intestinal-type adenocarcinoma (ITAC) according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Prognostic factors were identified using the log-rank test and cox-regression modeling. Toxicity was assessed according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE). Results: Median follow-up was 41 months. The 3-year and estimated 5-year Kaplan-Meier rates for all patients were 83 and 75% for LC, 74 and 50% for OS and 60 and 53% for PFS, respectively. While bimodal RT for ITAC resulted in a significantly decreased 3-year LC rate of 50 vs. 93% for each SGAC and SDAC (p < 0.01), no statistical significant survival differences could be identified across the three groups regarding OS (p = 0.08) and PFS (p = 0.063). 3-year OS was 88% for SGAC, 78% for SDAC and 67% for ITAC and 3-year PFS was 72% for SGAC, 53% for SDAC and 44% for ITAC, respectively. Nevertheless, in subgroup analysis, OS for ITAC was significantly worse compared to SGAC (p = 0.024). In multivariate analysis, bilateral tumor side (vs. unilateral) solely could be identified as independent negative prognostic factor for LC (p < 0.01). Treatment was well-tolerated with 21% acute (n = 17) and 25% (n = 20) late grade ≥3 toxicities. Conclusion: Radiotherapy including active raster-scanning carbon ion boost for relatively radio resistant adenocarcinomas of the head and neck resulted in favorable survival outcome for salivary gland and salivary duct adenocarcinomas with moderate toxicity. However, local control and prognosis for bilateral intestinal-type adenocarcinomas (ITAC) seem to remain low even after dose-escalation.

Abstract
Background Tumors of salivary glands are enlarged as a low-risk mass and mostly benign in nature. The treatment of salivary gland malignancy remains quite challenging because of its relative infrequency, unreliable biological manners, and risk of re-emergence. For effective treatment planning, prediction of factors associated with the recurrence of salivary gland malignancy is essential. Aim The objective of this study was to identify the factors associated with recurrence of salivary gland malignancy at two tertiary hospitals in Saudi Arabia. Material and methods A cross-sectional study was conducted at two tertiary hospitals in Saudi Arabia, where data of patients were recorded from the medical records of hospitals from 2012 to 2018. 63 patients who were diagnosed with salivary gland malignancy, whether originated from parotid, submandibular, sublingual, and minor salivary glands were included in the study. Descriptive statistics are shown in mean, frequency, and percentages, while comparative analysis was done using the Chi-square test, where p < 0.05 is considered significant. Results This study included 63 participants. The majority of malignant salivary gland cancers arise from the parotid gland (47.6%), and mucoepidermoid carcinoma was the commonest form of malignancy in 36.5% of the studied population. Out of 63 patients, 17 had a recurrence of cancer, and the initial advanced stage of the disease is apparently associated with the re-emergence of salivary gland cancer. Conclusion The initial advanced stage of cancer has a significant role in the recurrence of salivary gland malignancy. As salivary gland malignancy is rare and has unreliable behavior, establishing an adequate treatment plan prediction for recurrence is essential.

[PMID: 29975742 PMCID: PMC6033457 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0200291] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2017] [Accepted: 06/22/2018] [Indexed: 01/24/2023] Open
Abstract
We evaluated apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) histogram parameters for predicting the outcomes of patients with salivary gland carcinoma. Diffusion-weighted MR imaging was performed in 20 patients with salivary gland carcinoma, and ADCs were determined using b-values of 500 and 1000 s/mm2. ADC histogram parameters (mean, median, percentage tumor area with distinctive ADC values [pADC], skewness, and kurtosis) were analyzed. The patients were followed for 5–136 months after primary surgery. The ADC histogram parameters and T (pT), N(pN), and M categories of the primary tumors were assessed for the prognostic importance using Cox proportional hazards models, logistic regression analysis, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. Cohen’s d was determined for evaluating the importance of differences in the parameters between two patient groups with different outcomes. Six patients died of cancer (DOC) within 3 years after the primary surgery. Cox proportional hazards models indicated that ADC mean (95% CI = 0.494–0.977, p = 0.034), ADC median (95% CI = 0.511–0.997, p = 0.048), pADC with extremely low (<0.6 mm2/s) ADC (95% CI = 1.013–1.082, p = 0.007), kurtosis (95% CI = 1.166–7.420, p = 0.023), and pN classification (95% CI = 1.196–4.836, p = 0.012) were important factors of cancer death risk. ROC analyses indicated that the pADC <0.6 ×10−3 mm2/s was the best prognostic predictor (p <0.001; AUC = 0.929) among the ADC and TNM classification parameters that were significant in a univariate logistic regression analysis. Cohen’s d values between the DOC and survived patients for the ADC mean, ADC median, pADC with extremely low ADC, and kurtosis were 1.06, 1.04, 2.12, and 1.13, respectively. These results suggest that ADC histogram analysis may be helpful for predicting the outcomes of patients with salivary gland carcinoma.

Abstract
Aim The purpose of the study was to publish our experience of salivary gland cancer treatment with large number of patients treated at a single institution. Background Salivary gland cancers are rare tumors of the head and neck representing about 5% of cancers in that region and about 0.5% of all malignancies. Due to the rarity of the disease, most of the studies regarding treatment outcome consist of low number of patients, thus making it difficult to draw conclusions. Material and methods 115 patients with primary salivary gland cancer were included in a retrospective study. The subsites of tumor were the parotid gland (58% patients), submandibular gland (19%) and minor salivary glands (23%). All patients underwent primary surgical resection. The following were collected: age, stage of the disease, T status, N status, grade of tumor, perineurial invasion, lymphovascular invasion, extracapsular spread, final histological margin status and postoperative treatment. Details of local, regional or distant recurrence, disease free survival and overall survival were included. Results The majority (65%) of patients presented in early stage, T1 and T2 tumors. 81% of patients were N0. Free surgical margins were achieved in 18% of patients, close in 28% patients and positive surgical margins in 54% (62) patients. Factors that significantly increased the risk of recurrence: T stage (p = 0.0006); N-positive status (p < 0.0001); advanced stage of the disease (p < 0.0001); high grade of tumor (p = 0.0007); PNI (p = 0.0061); LVI (p = 0.0022); ECS (p = 0.0136); positive surgical margins (p = 0.0022). On multivariate analysis, high grade of tumor and positive surgical margins remained significant independent adverse factors for recurrence formation. Conclusions This report shows a single institution results of oncological treatment in patients with malignant salivary gland tumors, where positive surgical margins strongly correlate with patients' worse outcome. Whether to extend the procedure, which very often requires sacrificing the nerve is still a question of debate.

Abstract
Salivary gland carcinomas are a heterogeneous group of tumors with many histological subtypes which occur in both major and minor salivary glands. However, they have a relatively low of incidence. Their rarity limits study size and the ability to perform phase III trials. Therefore, to date, the entire management is usually varied. Certain published studies have paid more attention to the systemic therapy in the management of metastatic or locally recurrent salivary gland cancer, while little effort has been made to study the entire management for this lesions. Although results of treatment for patients with salivary gland carcinoma have improved in recent years, the treatment of salivary gland cancers is still not standardized. And some patients who haven’t received optimal treatment strategies had a reduced survival. In this review, the topics covered include surgery and radiotherapy, selective neck dissection, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy, which aimed to summarize the optimal management approaches and to develop recommendations for managing this lesions. For these rare cancers, there is also a need for a determined, coordinated effort to conduct high-quality clinical trials.

Abstract
PURPOSE Minor salivary gland cancers are rare and account for roughly 2% to 3% of all head and neck tumors. This is a retrospective review in a modern cohort of patients treated for this rare cancer with surgery and adjuvant radiation therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between February 1990 and December 2010, 98 patients with cancer of the minor salivary glands were identified and treated at a single institution. The median radiation dose was 63 Gy. Outcomes assessed included local control (LC), locoregional control (LRC), and overall survival (OS). Toxicity was graded using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 3.0. Competing-risk analysis using the Gray test was performed, with death as the competing risk. OS was calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS With a median follow-up of 7.3 years, the 5- and 10-year LC and LRC rates were 87.9% and 83%, and 80.5% and 73.7%, respectively. Higher T stage and adenocarcinoma histology were the significant negative prognostic factors for both LC and LRC. Freedom from distant metastasis at 5 and 10 years were 83% and 63%, respectively. The median OS was 19.6 years. Overall, no grade 4 or 5 toxicities occurred, and 20% of the cohort experienced an acute grade 3 toxicity, and 6% with a grade 3 late toxicity. CONCLUSIONS In a modern cohort treated with surgery and radiotherapy, excellent outcomes can be achieved with lower toxicity rates compared with older published series.

Abstract
Objectives Excellent local-regional control can be achieved for major salivary gland tumors treated with surgery and post-operative radiotherapy. We evaluated the cumulative incidence and predictors of distant metastasis in high-risk major salivary gland tumors. Methods Between 1990 and 2011, 200 patients with major salivary gland tumors received post-operative radiotherapy at our center. The patients' median age was 60 years. Patients had primary tumors of the parotid gland (84%), submandibular (16%), and one sublingual gland. Among the patients, 34% had T3-T4 tumors, 32% had nodal involvement. Other high-risk features included close/positive margins and high grade tumors. The median RT dose was 63 Gy. Results With a median follow-up of 50 months, the 5-year local control and regional control were 88% and 94%, respectively. The 5-year freedom from distant metastasis was 73%. The median overall survival was 14.6 years corresponding to a 5 and 10-year overall survival of 77% and 59%, respectively. T category and nodal involvement were independent predictors of distant metastasis. Nodal involvement was also an independent predictor of overall survival. Conclusions Distant relapse was the predominant mode of failure despite excellent local-regional control in high-risk major salivary gland tumors. Both advanced T category and nodal involvement were independent predictors of distant metastasis. More effective systemic therapy is needed to combat distant relapse.

Abstract
Salivary duct carcinoma (SDC) is a rare and aggressive malignancy with poor prognosis. Its histomorphology is distinctly reminiscent of the ductal carcinoma of the breast. We reviewed the treatment and outcome of SDCs at a single tertiary care centre. Twenty-five cases of SDC of major salivary gland origin, diagnosed and treated at the Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Helsinki University Central Hospital, Helsinki, Finland, during a 14-year period from 1997 to 2011, were reviewed retrospectively. Survival outcome was analyzed for 18 patients with a minimum follow-up of 24 months. There were 16 male (64 %) and 9 female (36 %) patients with a median age of 61 years (range 36-82 years). The majority of the cases occurred in the parotid gland (n = 21, 84 %) followed by the submandibular gland (n = 4, 16 %). The primary treatment consisted of surgical resection in all cases and 17 (68 %) patients also underwent neck dissection. Most of the patients (n = 18, 72 %) were treated with postoperative radiotherapy. Seven patients (28 %) had a disease recurrence within a median follow-up time of 15 months (range 3-27 months). In the group (n = 18) with a minimum follow-up time of 24 months, the 2- and 5-year overall and disease-specific survival rates were 66, 41 % and 75, 55 %, respectively. These results confirm the aggressive nature of SDCs in major salivary glands. Diagnostics and management of these tumours need to be centralized in experienced surgical Head and Neck Oncology Centres, and new treatment strategies should be investigated.
