Efficacy of 18FDG-PET/CT in Detecting Synchronous Malignancies in Patients With Head and Neck Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg 2024. [PMID: 38943453 DOI: 10.1002/ohn.879] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2024] [Revised: 05/24/2024] [Accepted: 06/15/2024] [Indexed: 07/01/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the diagnostic accuracy of fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography and computed tomography (18FDG-PET/CT) in detecting second primary malignancies (SPMs) in patients with treatment naïve head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). DATA SOURCES Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Scopus searched from 1946 to December 2022. REVIEW METHODS Studies reporting the performance of 18FDG-PET/CT in patients with treatment-naïve, index HNSCC for detection of SPMs were included. The reference standard was histopathology, clinical follow-up over the duration of study, and other imaging modalities. Multiple investigators completed depth full-text analysis. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis guidelines were followed. Methodologic and diagnostic accuracy data were abstracted independently by multiple investigators. Risk of bias assessment was conducted using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies tool independently. Bivariate random-effects model meta-analysis and multivariable meta-regression modeling were used. RESULTS Seventeen studies examining 4624 patients with a total of 475 SPMs were included in the final analysis. Eleven studies were found to be at low risk for bias, while the rest were in the high-risk category. 18FDG-PET/CT demonstrated pooled sensitivity and specificity of 0.73 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.49-0.88) and 0.99 (95% CI: 0.98-1.00) in detecting SPMs. Further subsite analysis revealed varied diagnostic performance across different anatomical regions, with sensitivity and specificity of esophageal SPMs being 0.47 (0.30-0.64) and 0.99 (0.98-1.00), and sensitivity and specificity of 0.86 (0.73-0.94) and 0.99 (0.98-1.00) for head and neck SPMs. Finally, this imaging modality showed sensitivity and specificity of 0.92 (0.84-0.96) and 0.99 (0.98-1.00) for lung SPMs. CONCLUSION The findings of this study suggest varied accuracy of 18FDG-PET/CT in detecting SPMs during initial workup for HNSCC, highlighting the importance of screening modalities such as esophagoscopy in high-risk patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The development of synchronous multiple primary cancers is one of the major causes of death in patients with head and neck cancer. Herein, we report a case of synchronous intraductal papillary mucinous carcinoma (IPMC), invasive in a patient with maxillary gingival carcinoma. CASE PRESENTATION A 73-year-old female visited our hospital complaining of a mass on the left side of the maxillary gingiva. Intraorally, an exophytic tumor, 50 × 25 mm in size, was found on the gingiva of the left maxillary posterior, and a diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma was revealed by cytology. Emission tomography/ computed tomography with 18 Fluorodeoxyglucose-Positron (18FDG- PET/ CT) showed increased accumulation in the left maxillary gingiva, the left side of cervical lymph nodes, and the main pancreatic duct. The pancreatic ductal tumor was performed the biopsy at esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) and resulted in a pathological diagnosis of IPMC, invasive. The patient was diagnosed as synchronous double primary cancers consisting of maxillary gingival carcinoma cT4aN2bM0 and IPMC, invasive cT3N0M0. She refused radical treatment, and died 11 months later. CONCLUSION 18FDG- PET/ CT, EGD and multidisciplinary approach is required for the detection and determining the treatment strategy of synchronous double primary cancers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS We aimed to study the clinical characteristics, treatment modality, and the prognosis of synchronous multiple primary esophageal squamous cell carcinomas (SMPESCC). METHODS A total of 117 SMPESCC cases were evaluated retrospectively from 2010 to 2015. RESULTS The most common locations of SMPESCC were mid- and lower thoracic segments (n = 208, 84.9%). The 1-, 2-, and 3-year overall survival rates were 53.8%, 30.8%, and 15.4%, respectively; the median survival time (MST) was 12.5 months. With definitive radiotherapy and surgery, respectively, the MST of stage I/II patients were 34.2 and 26.7 months, of stage III patients were 8.3 and 13.2 months (p = 0.163), and of stage IV patients were and 8 and 12.6 months (p = 0.379). Clinical stage, family history of cancer, and Karnofsky performance status were independent prognostic factors for the whole cohort by Cox multivariate regression analysis (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.859, p < 0.001; HR = 0.579, p = 0.032; and HR = 0.586, p = 0.013). CONCLUSION Although the prognosis of SMPESCC is poor, stage I/II patients can achieve long-term survival with aggressive treatment, especially those with a Karnofsky performance score 90 or higher and who have no family history of cancer. Definitive radiotherapy could achieve a similar survival rate to definitive surgery at different clinical stages.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The primary purpose was to evaluate the prognostic potential of diffusion imaging (DWI) and dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) in predicting distant metastases in squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck (HNSCC) patients. The secondary aim was to examine differences in DWI and DCE-MRI-derived parameters on the basis of human papilloma virus (HPV) status, differentiation grade, and nodal stage of HNSCC. METHODS Fifty-six patients underwent pretreatment DWI and DCE-MRI. Patients were divided into groups who subsequently did (n = 12) or did not develop distant metastases (n = 44). Median values of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), volume transfer constant (Ktrans ), and mean intracellular water-lifetime (τi ) and volume were computed from metastatic lymph nodes and were compared between two groups. Prognostic utility of HPV status, differentiation grading, and nodal staging was also evaluated both in isolation or in combination with MRI parameters in distinguishing patients with and without distant metastases. Additionally, MRI parameters were compared between two groups based on dichotomous HPV status, differentiation grade, and nodal stage. RESULTS Lower but not significantly different Ktrans (0.51 ± 0.15 minute-1 vs 0.60 ± 0.05 minute-1 ) and not significantly different τi (0.13 ± 0.03 second vs 0.19 ± 0.02 second) were observed in patients who developed distant metastases than those who did not. Additionally, no significant differences in ADC or volume were found. τi, was the best parameter in discriminating two groups with moderate sensitivity (67%) and specificity (61.4%). Multivariate logistic regression analyses did not improve the overall prognostic performance for combination of all variables. A trend toward higher τi was observed in HPV-positive patients than those with HPV-negative patients. Also, a trend toward higher Ktrans was observed in poorly differentiated HNSCCs than those with moderately differentiated HNSCCs. CONCLUSION Pretreatment DCE-MRI may be useful in predicting distant metastases in HNSCC.

Abstract
Background: The Head and Neck Cancer Working Group of Swiss Group for Clinical Cancer Research (SAKK) has investigated the level of consensus (LOC) and discrepancy in everyday practice of diagnosis and treatment in head and neck cancer. Materials and Methods: An online survey was iteratively generated with 10 Swiss university and teaching hospitals. LOC below 50% was defined as no agreement, while higher LOC were arbitrarily categorized as low (51–74%), moderate (75–84%), and high (≥85%). Results: Any LOC was achieved in 62% of topics (n = 60). High, moderate and low LOC were found in 18, 20, and 23%, respectively. Regarding Head and Neck Surgery, Radiation Oncology, Medical Oncology, and biomarkers, LOC was achieved in 50, 57, 83, and 43%, respectively. Conclusions: Consensus on clinical topics is rather low for surgeons and radiation oncologists. The questions discussed might highlight discrepancies, stimulate standardization of practice, and prioritize topics for future clinical research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM To analyze the clinical features and prevalence of synchronous and metachronous second primary malignancies (SPMs) in patients with hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HSCC), their associated risk factors, and cause-specific mortality. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 136 patients treated with curative intent at our hospital. Statistical analyses were performed to determine factors predictive of SPM and cause-specific mortality. RESULTS Sixty-three of 136 patients (46.3%) developed SPM; of these, 41 (30.1%) and 42 (30.9%) had synchronous and metachronous SPMs, respectively, with patient overlap. The most common site of synchronous and metachronous SPMs was the oesophagus (65.8% and 24.4%, respectively); the corresponding overall survival rates were 34.1% and 66.5%, respectively. Furthermore, heavy drinking was significantly correlated with synchronous SPM (p<0.001). CONCLUSION Oesophageal cancer surveillance is recommended for patients with HSCC, especially heavy drinkers. Our findings may help identify and properly manage HSCC patients at high risk of SPMs.

Abstract
Background Positron emission tomography with 2-deoxy-2-[18F] fluoro-d-glucose integrated with computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) is a useful method to evaluate patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). However, the prognostic significance of FDG-PET/CT for assessing early OSCC remains unclear. Methods Pretreatment FDG-PET/CT of 205 consecutive patients (125 men, 80 women, mean age 59.7 year old) with early OSCC (cT1-2N0M0) between June 2010 and December 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. FDG avidity in primary lesions was assessed by visual interpretation. Thereafter, maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax), metabolic tumor volume (MTV) and total lesion glycolysis (TLG) were measured in primary lesions. The relationship between each parameter and recurrence free survival (RFS) was assessed using the log-rank test. The performance of FDG-PET/CT for diagnosing metastatic lesions and synchronous cancer was also assessed. Results During the follow-up period (mean 32.9 months), 43 patients developed recurrences (21.0%). Patients with visually positive FDG uptake in primary lesions showed significantly shorter RFS than the others (63.0 months vs. 52.9 months, P = 0.005). In those patients, greater SUVmax, MTV, and TLG did not significantly predict shorter RFS. The sensitivity and specificity of FDG-PET/CT for cervical nodal metastases detection were 32.3% and 77.6%, respectively. FDG-PET/CT detected eight synchronous cancers (3.9%) and overlooked six synchronous cancers (2.9%). Conclusions Although its utility for detecting cervical nodal metastases and synchronous cancers is limited, FDG-PET/CT is a potentially prognostic indicator in early OSCC.

Abstract
Due to habitual drinking and smoking and advanced age at diagnosis, patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) frequently present with comorbidities. Several comorbidity indices have been developed and validated for HNSCC. However, none have become the standard method. In this study, we developed a new comorbidity index for Japanese patients with HNSCC, which was validated against an independent data set. A Cox proportional hazards analysis of 698 patients identified dementia, connective tissue diseases, and second primary malignancies in the oesophagus, head and neck, lungs, and stomach as prognostic comorbidities for overall survival. The Osaka head and neck comorbidity index (OHNCI) was generated from the weighted points of these comorbidities. In the independent data set, the 5-year overall survival rates for the low, moderate, and high scoring OHNCI groups were 62.1%, 64.3%, and 37.7%, respectively. In the multivariate analysis, the high scoring OHNCI group was an independent prognostic factor for overall survival (hazard ratio: 1.81, 95% confidence interval: 1.05-3.13; P = 0.031). The model including the OHNCI exhibited a higher prognostic capability compared to those including other commonly used comorbidity indices. The OHNCI could become the primary choice for comorbidity assessment in patients with HNSCC in Japan.

Abstract
CONCLUSION The age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index (ACCI) was associated with overall survival, disease-specific survival, and non-cancer death in patients treated with chemoradiation therapy (CRT) for hypopharyngeal cancer (HPC). Further studies using other CRT regimens are required. OBJECTIVE To investigate the impact of the ACCI on survival in patients with HPC. METHODS This study reviewed 128 patients with HPC who received CRT between 2004-2012. The survival rates and the cumulative incidence of non-cancer death according to the ACCI were estimated. A Cox proportional hazard model was used to assess the hazard ratio (HR) of the ACCI. RESULTS The disease-specific survival rates at 3 years for the low ACCI group, moderate group, and high group were 80.1%, 45.8%, and 54.8%, respectively (p = 0.007). The laryngectomy-free survival rates at 3 years were 61%, 39.7%, and 37.1%, respectively (p = 0.137). The cumulative incidences of non-HPC death were 5% for the low/moderate ACCI group and 15.5% for the high ACCI group (p = 0.031). The HRs compared to the low ACCI group for overall survival, disease-specific survival, and laryngectomy-free survival were 2.61 and 2.74, 2.55 and 2.27, and 1.75 and 1.97 in the moderate and high ACCI groups, respectively.

Guidelines for the Surgical Management of Laryngeal Cancer: Korean Society of Thyroid-Head and Neck Surgery. Clin Exp Otorhinolaryngol 2017; 10:1-43. [PMID: 28043099 PMCID: PMC5327593 DOI: 10.21053/ceo.2016.01389] [Citation(s) in RCA: 39] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2016] [Accepted: 10/24/2016] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Korean Society of Thyroid-Head and Neck Surgery appointed a Task Force to develop clinical practice guidelines for the surgical treatment of laryngeal cancer. This Task Force conducted a systematic search of the EMBASE, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, and KoreaMed databases to identify relevant articles, using search terms selected according to the key questions. Evidence-based recommendations were then created on the basis of these articles. An external expert review and Delphi questionnaire were applied to reach consensus regarding the recommendations. The resulting guidelines focus on the surgical treatment of laryngeal cancer with the assumption that surgery is the selected treatment modality after a multidisciplinary discussion in any context. These guidelines do not, therefore, address non-surgical treatment such as radiation therapy or chemotherapy. The committee developed 62 evidence-based recommendations in 32 categories intended to assist clinicians during management of patients with laryngeal cancer and patients with laryngeal cancer, and counselors and health policy-makers.

Abstract
Early detection of synchronous esophageal squamous cell neoplasm (ESCN) in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients can significantly affect their prognosis. We investigated the prevalence of synchronous ESCN and the risk factors for developing ESCN in patients with HNSCC, and evaluated the effect of routine endoscopic screening in these patients. Subjects who were diagnosed as HNSCC from May 2010 to January 2014 were eligible. All patients underwent conventional white light endoscopic examinations with narrow band imaging and Lugol chromoendoscopy. Among 458 subjects screened, 28 synchronous ESCN were detected in 24 patients (5.2%). The prevalence of ESCN was greatest in patients with hypopharyngeal cancer (20.9%). In multivariate analysis, pyriform sinus involvement was independent risk factor for developing synchronous ESCN (odds ratio 171.2, P < 0.001). During the follow-up period (median, 24 months), the 3-year overall survival rates was significantly lower in patients with ESCN than in patients without ESCN (54.2% vs. 78.3%, P = 0.0013). Routine endoscopic screening for detecting synchronous ESCN should be recommended for patients with HNSCC, especially those with pyriform sinus involvement.

Abstract
Conclusions This study demonstrated a high incidence of competing mortality in patients with head and neck cancer (HNC). It identified age to be an independent prognostic factor for non-cancer mortality. These findings contribute to the appropriate treatment selection in clinical settings and study design in clinical trials. Objectives To investigate the incidences of second primary cancer (SPC) and non-cancer mortalities among patients with HNC and reveal the determinant factors for these mortalities. Methods This study reviewed the records of 334 patients with HNC between 2006-2012. The cumulative incidences of HNC, non-cancer, and SPC mortalities were estimated. A Fine and Gray regression model was used to investigate factors associated with cancer and non-cancer mortalities. Results The 5-year cumulative incidences of HNC, SPC, and non-cancer mortalities were 28.0%, 2.5%, and 6.5%, respectively. In univariate analysis, the factors associated with SPC mortality were tumor site and comorbidity, whereas those associated with non-cancer mortality were age, gender, and comorbidity. In multivariate analysis, age (sub-distribution hazard ratio = 2.59) was the independent risk factor for non-cancer mortality.

Abstract
Purpose To investigate clinical outcomes of synchronous head and neck and esophageal cancer (SHNEC). Materials and Methods We retrospectively reviewed 27 SHNEC patients treated with curative intent at a single institution. The treatment modality for individual cases was usually determined on a case by case basis. Results The median follow-up duration for the surviving patients was 28.2 months. The most common site of head and neck cancer was hypopharyngeal carcinoma (n = 21, 77.7%). The lower esophagus was the most common location of esophageal carcinoma (n = 16, 59.3%). The 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were 57.5% and 39.6%. Major pattern of failure was locoregional recurrence in the study patients. Esophageal cancer stage, the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status, and pretreatment weight loss were significant prognostic factors for OS in univariate analysis. Treatment-related death was observed in two patients, and one patient developed a grade 4 late treatment-related complication. Conclusion Although the survival outcome for SHNEC is poor, long-term survival might be achievable with aggressive treatment with stage I-II esophageal cancer and good performance.

Abstract
CONCLUSIONS Comorbidities as well as T classification were the primary determinants for the nutritional status of patients with head and neck cancer. OBJECTIVES We aimed to elucidate the underlying conditions of malnutrition in patients with head and neck cancer. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 726 patients diagnosed with head and neck cancer between 2004 and 2013. Associations between malnutrition and clinical parameters were assessed using univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS Median body mass index was 21.5 (range 11.6-38.0). According to World Health Organization criteria, the nutritional status of these patients was classified into four groups: underweight (18%), normal (63%), overweight (17%), and obese (1%). Comorbidities were detected in 40% of patients. Multivariate analysis revealed the following factors to be independent factors associated with malnutrition: advanced T stage, metachronous cancer, collagen disease, gastrointestinal disease, and pulmonary disease.
