Abstract
Background: Parotid gland adenocarcinoma not otherwise specified (PANOS) is a rare malignant tumor with limited data on its characteristics and prognosis. This research is aimed at characterizing PANOS and developing prognostic prediction models for patients with PANOS. Methods: Cases from 2004-2016 were selected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program database. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression were applied to ascertain the factors associated with survival. Competing risk analysis and Gray's tests were employed to analyze cancer-specific death. Propensity score matching (1:1) was conducted to reduce the influence of confounding variables. Results: A total of 446 patients with a median age of 66 years were selected, of which 307 were diagnosed with stage III/IV PANOS. The 5-year overall survival (OS) rate of all patients was 51.8%, and the median survival time was 66 months. Surgical treatment clearly improved survival time (p < 0.001). In the subgroup analysis, radiotherapy showed survival benefits in patients with stage III/IV disease (p < 0.001). Multivariate Cox regression analyses showed that age, T classification, N classification, M classification and surgery were independent prognostic indicators for OS; T classification, N classification, M classification and surgery were independent risk factors for cancer-specific survival (CSS). In addition, age was independently associated with other cause-specific death. Based on the results of multivariate analysis, two nomograms were developed and verified by the concordance index (C-index) (0.747 and 0.780 for OS and CSS) and the area under the time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (0.756, 0.764, and 0.819 regarding for nomograms predicting 3-, 5-, and 10- year OS, respectively and 0.794, 0.789, and 0.806 for CSS, respectively). Conclusions: Our study clearly presents the clinicopathological features and survival analysis of patients with PANOS. In addition, our constructed nomogram prediction models may assist physicians in evaluating the individualized prognosis and deciding on treatment for patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effectiveness of free peroneal artery chimeric perforator flap in repairing the defect after advanced local lesions resection in parotid gland carcinoma (PGC). METHODS Between June 2010 and June 2020, 32 patients with advanced local lesions of PGC were treated with extended radical resection. After that, 17 patients were repaired with the free peroneal artery chimeric perforator flaps (trial group) and another 15 patients were repaired with the pedicled pectoralis major myocutaneous flaps (control group). There was no significant difference in gender, age, disease type, histopathological classification, clinical stage, and pathological stage between groups ( P>0.05). The size of skin flap in trial group ranged from 7 cm×6 cm to 12 cm×8 cm and the size of soleus muscle flap ranged from 5 cm×3 cm to 6 cm×4 cm. The donor sites were repaired with skin grafting. The size of the pedicled pectoralis major myocutaneous flaps in control group ranged from 9 cm×6 cm to 14 cm×7 cm. The donor sites were sutured directly. The operation time, survival rate of flap, and postoperative survival of patients were recorded and compared between groups. At 1 year after operation, the University of Washington quality of life (UW-QOL) questionnaire was used to evaluate the quality of life of patients in the two groups, including appearance, shoulder movement, sociability, masticatory function, speech function, and mood. RESULTS The operations completed successfully. The operation time was (6.19±0.72) hours in trial group and (6.41±0.71) hours in control group, showing no significant difference between groups ( t=-0.863, P=0.395). The survival rate of flap in trial group was 94.1% (16/17); and 1 patient suffered from vascular crisis after operation and was replaced with the pedicled pectoralis major myocutaneous flap. The survival rate of flap in control group was 100%. All grafts survived and the incisions healed by first intention in the two groups. All patients were followed up. The follow-up time was 6-60 months (median, 60 months) in trial group and 7-60 months (median, 60 months) in control group. Cumulative survival rates of patients at 1, 3, and 5 years after operation were 94.1%, 64.7%, and 58.8% in trial group, respectively; 86.7%, 66.7%, and 53.3% in control group, respectively. There was no significant difference in the cumulative survival rate between groups ( χ 2=0.090, P=0.762). According to the UW-QOL questionnaire at 1 year after operation, the scores of appearance, shoulder movement, sociability, and mood in trial group were significantly higher than those in control group ( P<0.05); and there was no significant difference in masticatory function and speech function scores between groups ( P>0.05). CONCLUSION The peroneal artery perforator has an invariable anatomical relationship. Each perforator emits the muscular branch that nourishes the soleus muscle. Therefore, personalized free peroneal artery chimeric perforator flap can be designed according to the tissue defect, and used to repair the defect after advanced local lesions resection in PGC.

Impact of Changing Surgical Strategies on Clinical Outcomes in Patients with Parotid Carcinoma: A 53-Year Single-Institution Experience. MEDICINA-LITHUANIA 2021; 57:medicina57080745. [PMID: 34440951 PMCID: PMC8399018 DOI: 10.3390/medicina57080745] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2021] [Revised: 07/18/2021] [Accepted: 07/21/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: We investigated the clinical outcomes of patients who underwent surgery for parotid carcinoma in a single institution during a 53-year period. This study aimed to estimate the impact of changing the surgical approach to parotid carcinoma on clinical outcomes including the incidence rate of the facial nerve palsy. Materials and Methods: Sixty-seven patients with parotid carcinoma who underwent surgery between 1966 and 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. Group A consisted of 29 patients who underwent surgery from 1966 to 2002, and Group B consisted of 38 patients from 2002 to 2018. Treatment outcomes were estimated. Additionally, candidate prognostic factors of Group B, the current surgical approach group, were evaluated. Results: Partial parotidectomy and total parotidectomy were performed in 35 and 32 patients, respectively. Partial parotidectomy was performed in 4 patients in Group A and 31 patients in Group B, with a predominant increase in Group B. The facial nerve was preserved in 43 patients, among whom 8 in Group A (8/17; 47.1%) and 7 in Group B (7/26; 26.9%) had temporary postoperative facial nerve palsy. Postoperative radiotherapy was performed on 35 patients. The 5-year OS, DSS, and DFS rates for Group A were 77.1%, 79.9%, and 71.5%, respectively. The 5-year OS, DSS, and DFS rates for Group B were 77.1%, 77.1%, and 72.4%, respectively. Clinical T4 stage, clinical N+ stage, stage IV disease, and tumor invasion of the facial nerve were independent prognostic factors in Group B. Conclusions: The incidence of facial nerve palsy in the current surgical approach group decreased compared with that in the previous surgical approach group. The current surgical management and treatment policies for parotid carcinoma have led to improved outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To determine immediate postoperative and long-term facial nerve dysfunction after parotid cancer surgery, risk factors, and the role of facial reanimation surgery. STUDY DESIGN Population-based long-term analysis for all new primary parotid carcinoma cases in Thuringia from 1996 to 2019. METHODS Data of the cancer registries of Thuringia, a federal state in Germany, were analyzed in combination with hospital-based data on facial function. RESULTS About 477 patients (42.3% women; median age: 68 years) were included. It was observed that 6.7% had a preoperative facial nerve dysfunction, 11.7% received a radical parotidectomy, that is, that 5% had a normal preoperative facial function but needed radical surgery because of intraoperative detection of tumor infiltration into the facial nerve. About 10.2% received facial nerve reconstruction surgery. Immediate postoperative facial nerve dysfunction in the other patients was observed in 34.4% of the patients. Advanced T classification (odds ratio [OR] = 2.140; confidence interval [CI] = 1.268-3.611; P = .004) and neck dissection (OR = 2.012; CI = 1.027-3.940; P = .041) were independent risk factors for immediate postoperative facial nerve dysfunction. In addition, 22.0% showed no recovery during follow-up. Advanced T classification (OR = 2.177; CI = 1.147-4.133; P = .017) and postoperative radiotherapy (OR = 2.695; CI = 1.244-5.841; P = .012) were independent risk factors for permanent postoperative facial nerve dysfunction. CONCLUSION Patients with primary parotid cancer are at high risk for long-term facial nerve dysfunction. It seems that the possibilities of facial reanimation surgery needs to be utilized even more effectively. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 3 Laryngoscope, 2021.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To better understand the significance of pain as a predictor of disease severity in parotid gland malignancy. STUDY DESIGN A retrospective chart review of patients treated for primary parotid gland malignancy at our institution between 1991 and 2020 was performed. METHODS Patient records were retrospectively reviewed and relevant clinical parameters were collected. Patients were stratified into low stage (I and II) disease and high stage (III and IV) disease groups to analyze the independent effect of pain at initial presentation on disease recurrence rate and disease-free survival using Kaplan-Meier survival curves and an independent two-sample t-test. RESULTS Of 154 patients evaluated, there were 69 patients in the low stage group and 80 patients in the high stage group. Thirty-seven high stage patients presented with pain. High stage patients with pain were significantly more likely to develop disease recurrence than high stage patients without pain (58.5% [22/37] versus 33.3% [13/39], P = .022). High stage patients with pain also had significantly decreased disease-free survival time compared to high stage patients without pain (P = .027). CONCLUSION Pain on presentation appears to be a poor prognostic factor for patients with parotid gland malignancy. For patients with demonstrated high stage disease, pain is independently associated with increased risk of recurrence and decreased disease-free survival time.

Challenges with preoperative diagnosis of low/intermediate-grade carcinoma of the parotid gland: single-center study of 112 patients. Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol 2020; 277:2031-2039. [PMID: 32166415 DOI: 10.1007/s00405-020-05871-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2019] [Accepted: 02/17/2020] [Indexed: 10/24/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The malignancy of parotid carcinoma varies, and accurate preoperative assessment of malignancy is important for selecting the appropriate treatment. However, the preoperative diagnosis of low/intermediate-grade carcinoma is difficult, and surgery may sometimes be performed without any prior knowledge of malignancy. METHODS The results of fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNA), imaging studies (MRI and US), physical examination, and frozen section biopsy (FSB) were evaluated in 112 patients with low/intermediate-grade parotid carcinoma. RESULTS The result of FNA was benign/inadequate specimen in 44.6% of the patients. In addition, the tumor was diagnosed as benign by MRI/US in 21.4% of the patients and 37.5% had no symptoms/signs of malignancy on physical examination. The rate of misdiagnosis as benign decreased when FNA was combined with imaging and physical findings. However, malignancy could not be diagnosed by FNA and FSB in 12.5% of the patients who were only found to have malignant tumors by the final pathological examination. CONCLUSION FNA shows a high misdiagnosis rate of malignancy in patients with low/intermediate-grade cancer. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully evaluate the findings of imaging studies and physical examination, and FSB should be conducted if such findings suggest the possibility of malignancy.
