Yang SS, Yang XG, Yang XH, Hu XH. Prognostic factors and novel prediction models for overall survival of patients with submandibular gland cancer: A population-based retrospective cohort study. Heliyon 2024; 10:e30860. [PMID: 38774321 PMCID: PMC11107196 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e30860] [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: 11/08/2023] [Revised: 04/12/2024] [Accepted: 05/07/2024] [Indexed: 05/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Accurately predicting the survival rate of submandibular gland cancer (SGC) is of significant importance for guiding treatment decision-making and improving patient outcomes. This study was aimed to identify the independent prognostic factors of overall survival (OS) in SGC patients, and develop novel prediction models to aid clinicians in predicting the survival probability. Materials and methods Patients diagnosed with primary SGC after the year 2010 were extracted from SEER database and then randomly allocated into training and test samples in a 7:3 ratio. Uni- and multi-variable COX analyses were employed using the training sample to ascertain independent prognostic factors for OS. Subsequently, graphic and online dynamic nomograms were established basing on the independent prognostic factors. We utilized C-index, calibration curve, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and area under ROC curve (AUC) value to evaluate the discrimination capacity and the consistency between predicted and actual survival. Results A total of 527 SGC patients were included (369 assigned to training group and 158 assigned to test group). The multivariable COX analysis showed that age, sex, marital status, tumor histology, summary stage, metastases to bone, and tumor size were independently associated with OS. Novel graphical and online dynamic (URL: https://yangxg1209.shinyapps.io/overall_survival_submandibular_gland_tumor/) nomograms were established. The C-indices (training: 0.77, 95%CI 0.71-0.84; test: 0.77, 95%CI 0.68-0.85) indicate favorable discrimination ability of the model, and the calibration curves demonstrated favorable consistency between the predicted and actual survival rates. Conclusions Our study identified the independent prognostic factors influencing OS in patients with SGC, and successfully established and validated novel nomograms, which provide accurate prediction of survival rates and allows for personalized risk assessment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To explore the prognostic effects of previous cancer history on patients with major salivary gland cancer (SGC). SUBJECTS AND METHODS SGC patients with (sec-SGC) and without (one-SGC) a previous cancer from the SEER database were identified. Cox proportional hazards regression (CoxPH) models were used to compare the prognosis between sec-SGC and one-SGC patients. Subgroup analyses for sec-SGC patients by gender, previous cancer types, previous cancer histology, and cancer diagnosis interval (CDI) were performed. Two CoxPH models were constructed to distinguish sec-SGC patients with different prognostic risks. RESULTS 9098 SGC patients were enrolled. Overall, sec-SGC patients (adjusted HR [aHR] = 1.26, p < 0.001), especially those with a CDI ≤ 5 years (aHR = 1.47, p < 0.001), had worse overall survival (OS) than one-SGC patients. In subgroup analysis, only sec-SGC patients with a previous head and neck cancer who were female (aHR = 2.38, p = 0.005), with a CDI ≤ 5 years (aHR = 1.65, p = 0.007) or with a previous squamous cell carcinoma (aHR = 6.52, p < 0.001) had worse OS. Our models successfully differentiated all sec-SGC patients into high-, intermediate- and low-risk groups with different prognosis. CONCLUSIONS Sec-SGC patients with different previous cancer types, gender, CDI and previous cancer histology had varied prognosis. The models we constructed could help differentiate the prognosis of sec-SGC patients with different risks.

[PMID: 38044557 DOI: 10.1177/01455613231212060] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Salivary gland carcinoma (SGC) patients with distant metastasis (DM) are rare, and understanding this disease is insufficient. Nomograms can predict the prognostic probability of patients, while few studies have examined diagnostic and prognostic factors in SGC patients with DM. The purpose of this study was to establish and validate the risk and prognostic nomograms of SGC patients with DM. Methods: Based on the SEER database, we analyzed the data of SGC patients between 2004 and 2015. Logistic regression analyses and Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were used to identify risk and prognostic factors for DM in SGC patients. Based on the Akaike information criterion (AIC) value and likelihood ratio test, the best-fitting model was selected to build risk and prognostic nomograms, and the results were evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, calibration curves, decision curve analysis (DCA), and Kaplan-Meier (K-M) survival curves. ROC curves were also used to compare the nomograms with the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system. Results: 7418 SGC patients were included in the study, and 307 (4.14%) of them were diagnosed with DM. This study identified that there are variables (age ≥ 80, no-parotid gland primary site, histologic type of mucoepidermoid carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, T stage ≥ T2, N staged ≥ N1, histologic grade ≥ III, and tumor size ≥ 41 mm) associated with the occurrence of DM in SGC patients. Therefore, we constructed diagnostic and prognostic nomograms after incorporating these variables. ROC curves illustrated the better predictive efficacy of 2 nomograms over the AJCC staging system. DCA curves, calibration curves, and K-M survival curves showed that 2 nomograms can accurately predict the occurrence and prognosis of DM among SGC patients in training and validation sets. Conclusion: It was shown that the nomograms were highly discriminative in predicting the diagnosis and prognosis of SGC patients with DM, and could identify high-risk patients, thereby providing SGC patients with individualized treatment plans.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to assess the utility of pretreatment magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in predicting the clinical outcomes of patients with parotid gland cancer. METHODS A total of 43 patients with histopathologically confirmed primary parotid gland cancer, who underwent pretreatment MRI, were enrolled in this study. All images were retrospectively reviewed, and MRI features were evaluated as possible prognostic factors influencing the progression-free survival (PFS) using the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards regression model. Cox regression analysis was used to estimate the hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence interval (95% CI) values. RESULTS Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that old age (>73 years, P < 0.01), large maximum tumor diameter (>33 mm, P < 0.01), low apparent diffusion coefficient value (≤1.29 ×10-3 mm2/s, P < 0.01), ill-defined margin (P < 0.01), skin invasion (P < 0.01), regional nodal metastasis (P < 0.01), heterogeneous enhancement (P < 0.05), and high signal intensity ratio on gadolinium-enhanced fat-suppressed T1-weighted images (>2.017, P < 0.05) were significant predictors of worse PFS. Cox proportional hazards regression analysis revealed that regional nodal metastasis (HR, 32.02; 95% CI, 6.42-159.84; P < 0.01) and maximum tumor diameter (HR, 1.04; 95% CI, 1.01-1.08; P < 0.05) were independent predictors of PFS. CONCLUSION Pretreatment MRI parameters could be prognostic factors of patients with parotid gland cancer. In particular, the maximum tumor diameter and regional nodal metastasis, which were closely associated with T and N classifications, were important prognostic factors in predicting the PFS.

Abstract
The potential for tumor occurrence triggered by cancer stem cells (CSCs) has emerged as a significant challenge for human colorectal cancer therapy. However, the underlying mechanism of CSC development remains controversial. Our study provided evidence that the bulk of tumor cells could dedifferentiate to CSCs and reacquire CSCs-like phenotypes if cultured in the presence of extracellular matrix reagents, such as Matrigel and fibrin gels. In these 3D gels, CD133- colorectal cancer cells can regain tumorigenic potential and stem-like phenotypes. Mechanistically, the 3D extracellular matrix could mediate cytoskeletal F-actin bundling through biomechanical force associated receptors integrin β1 (ITGB1), contributing to the release of E3 ligase Tripartite motif protein 11 (TRIM11) from cytoskeleton and degradation of the glycolytic rate-limiting enzyme phosphofructokinase (PFK). Consequently, PFK inhibition resulted in enhanced glycolysis and upregulation of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF1α), thereby promoting the reprogramming of stem cell transcription factors and facilitating tumor progression in patients. This study provided novel insights into the role of the extracellular matrix in the regulation of CSC dedifferentiation in a cytoskeleton/glycolysis-dependent manner.

Abstract
We developed this study to describe the patterns of distant metastasis (DM) and explore the predictive and prognostic factors of DM in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) patients. We collected the eligible patients from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Result (SEER) database from 2010 to 2015. Then, comparisons of baseline characteristics between patients in different metastatic patterns were made. In addition, proportional mortality ratios (PMRs) and proportion trends of different patterns were calculated. Afterward, survival outcomes were explored by Kaplan–Meier (KM) analyses. Finally, predictive and prognostic factors of DM were investigated. A total of 33,449 ccRCC patients were eventually identified, including 2931 patients with DM and 30,518 patients without DM. 8.76% of patients suffered DM at their initial diagnosis, 35.01% of them had multiple metastases. Generally, lung (6.19%) was the most common metastatic site in patients with DM, and brain (1.20%) was the least frequent metastatic organ. The proportion trends of different metastatic patterns tended to be stable between 2010 and 2015. Moreover, higher tumor grade, T stage, and N stage were identified as risk factors of DM. Finally, age at diagnosis, grade, T stage, N stage, the administration of surgery, the number of metastatic sties, marital status, and household income were found to be significantly associated with prognosis. Lung was the most common metastatic site in ccRCC patients. Different survival outcomes and prognostic factors were identified for different metastatic patterns. Hence, our study would have great value for clinical practice in the future.

Abstract
PURPOSE Malignant parotid tumours are rare and multiple prognostic factors exist. METHODS Through a retrospective study we aimed to identify nomograms predicting recurrence and mortality rates in 228 primary parotid cancers. Patients clinical, treatment and tumour characteristics were retrospectively collected between 1980 and 2005 at our Institution. Factors predictive of disease-free-specific-survival (DSS) and overall survival (OS) were calculated by univariate and multivariate analysis. Nomograms were then constructed. RESULTS The 5- and 10-year DSS rates were 73% and 71.4%, and nomogram was drawn based on five parameters where perineural invasion showed the most significant predicting influence (p < 0.001). The median follow-up was of 95 months and the 5- and 10-year OS rates were 68.7% and 53.1%; six predictive variables (age, histological grade, perineural invasion, pathological lymph node status, resection margins and distant metastasis) were used to create nomogram. CONCLUSIONS Our nomograms provide a tailored outcome to a patient affected by malignant parotid tumour and give him/her a risk assessment for recurrence and mortality based on individual factors by a concordance index > 0.8.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Previous population-based studies in salivary gland carcinomas have described a relationship between female sex and superior oncological outcome. PATIENTS AND METHODS Our institutional database of 884 surgically treated patients with salivary gland malignancies from 1985 to 2015 was analyzed for the impact of sex on oncological outcomes. Histologies were classified in three risk groups, low, intermediate and high. Survival outcomes were determined using the Kaplan-Meier method. Hazard ratios for male sex were determined using the Cox proportional hazards model. RESULTS Eight hundred sixty-seven patients were identified; median age was 59 years, and 51% had a minor salivary gland malignancy. Female patients were younger (58 versus 60 years; p = 0.040) and had a lower incidence of high-risk histologies (25% versus 40%, p < 0.001) and T3-T4 tumors compared to men (23% versus 31%, p < 0.001). With a median follow-up of 57 months, female patients had a superior 5-year disease-specific survival (DSS) (90% versus 79%; p < 0.001). The unadjusted hazard ratio showed male patients had a 2.15-fold increased risk of death (HR 2.15; 95% CI, 1.50-3.06, p < 0.001). After adjusting for Charlson comorbidity index, tobacco use, histological risk group, and overall pathological stage, males still had a statistically significant increased risk of death (HR 1.48; 95% CI 1.05-2.17; p = 0.047). Subgroup analysis showed DSS for females was significantly better in the high-risk histological group (5-year 68% versus 49%, p = 0.007). CONCLUSION Our study shows that sex has an impact on cancer-specific survival and that female sex favors improved survival.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report 5-year survival in patients with primary parotid malignant tumours and assess the impact of various factors on survival or local control among diverse histologic groups. METHODS A total of 65 patients with primary parotid malignant tumours who had surgery between 2003 and 2014 were identified. Demographic characteristics including age, T stage, N stage and clinical or pathological performance were analysed. According to risk stratification (based on pathology), 65 primary parotid malignant tumours were divided into high-risk (23, 35.38%) and low-risk (35, 53.85%) groups. Overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were recorded by the Kaplan-Meier methods. RESULTS The 5-year overall survival rate for primary parotid malignant tumours was 70.9%. Patients older than 60 years with fixed mass, pain, facial-nerve palsy and high-grade N stage had adverse OS and DFS. Upon multivariable analysis, facial-nerve palsy (HR 24.59; 95% CI 2.338-178.446; P = 0.002) was the only independent predictive factor for OS. Patients with high-risk parotid malignant types were more likely to have tumour pain, facial-nerve palsy (Chi-square test: < 0.0001 and 0.02), lymphatic metastasis and local/regional recurrence (Chi-square test: 0.008 and 0.012). CONCLUSIONS Compared with low-risk parotid carcinoma, tumours with high-risk histological features tend to need aggressive surgical extirpation, neck dissection and postoperative radiotherapy.

Abstract
Objective To characterize the epidemiology of pediatric salivary cancer and associate patient, tumor, and treatment factors with treatment modality and survival. Study Design Cross-sectional analysis. Setting US national database. Subjects and Methods We identified 588 patients 19 years or younger diagnosed with salivary cancer in the National Cancer Database 2004-2013. We characterized patient, tumor, and treatment factors as proportions and associated these factors with treatment modality and overall survival via multivariable logistic regression and multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression, respectively. Results In total, 588 patients were included. Mucoepidermoid carcinoma was identified in 234 of 588 patients (40%) and acinar cell carcinoma in 215 of 588 (37%). Parotid tumors were seen in 504 (86%) of patients. Surgery alone was used to treat 351 (60%) of patients; surgery plus adjuvant radiation was used to treat 145 (25%). Overall 5-year survival was 93%. Controlling for patient and tumor characteristics, treatment with surgery and radiation vs surgery alone was associated with improved overall survival (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.15; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.02-0.92; P = .041). High tumor grade was associated with decreased overall survival (HR = 33.17; 95% CI, 5.89-186.8; P < .001). Treatment with surgery plus radiation remained associated with improved overall survival in the subset of patients with high tumor grade (HR = 0.12; 95% CI, 0.02-0.64; P = .014). Conclusion Tumor grade is an important predictor of survival in pediatric patients with salivary gland cancer. Surgery plus adjuvant radiation vs surgery alone is associated with improved overall survival and may be considered for high-risk patients, particularly those with high-grade tumors.

Abstract
Objective To characterize treatment times in salivary cancer; associate treatment times with patient, tumor, and treatment characteristics; and examine the association of treatment times and overall survival. Study Design Retrospective cohort. Setting Commission-on-Cancer Accredited Hospitals 2004-2013. Subjects and Methods In total, 5953 patients with salivary cancer included in the National Cancer Database were identified. For each treatment interval, patients in the fourth quartile ("prolonged") were compared to patients in the first and second quartiles ("not prolonged"). Patient, tumor, and treatment characteristics were associated with prolonged times via multivariable binary logistic regression. Prolongation of each interval was associated with overall survival via multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression, controlling for clinically relevant factors. Results Median durations for diagnosis-to-treatment initiation, surgery-to-radiation treatment (RT), RT duration, total treatment package, and diagnosis-to-treatment end were 31, 44, 47, 92, and 110 days, respectively. Race, insurance status, comorbidities, age, T and N stage, facility volume and location, and a facility care transition from diagnosis to initial treatment were associated with prolonged treatment time. Prolonged RT duration was associated with decreased overall survival (OS) (62% vs 75% 5-year OS, HR = 1.26 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.09-1.47]; P = .002), but prolonged diagnosis-to-treatment initiation, surgery-to-RT, total treatment package, and diagnosis-to-treatment end intervals were not (70% vs 67% 5-year OS, HR = 1.11 [95% CI, 0.92-1.34], P = .284; 72% vs 68%, HR = 0.93 [95% CI, 0.79-1.09], P = .370; 70% vs 70%, HR = 1.00 [95% CI, 0.84-1.20], P = .974; 66% vs 71%, HR = 0.99 [95% CI, 0.84-1.18], P = .920, respectively). Conclusion The median durations identified here can serve as reference points. Radiation therapy duration is associated with overall survival in salivary cancer and could be considered a quality indicator.

Abstract
Our goal was to evaluate the risk factors for regional recurrence in upper lip squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).A total of 109 patients with upper lip SCC were retrospectively enrolled. Clinical and pathologic information was collected and analyzed.Fifteen (13.8%) patients had a regional metastasis, 2 patients had parotid node metastasis, and no local or distant metastasis was noted. There was neck level I node metastasis in 15 (100%) patients. In multivariate analysis, invasion depth and degree of differentiation were significantly associated with regional metastasis. The 5- and 10-year disease-specific survival rate was 95.4% and 80.1%, respectively.Invasion depth and degree of differentiation have reliable value for predicting regional metastasis.
