Abstract
Our objective was to examine the impact of elective neck dissection (END) on the prognosis of patients with cT2N0 maxillary sinus squamous cell carcinoma (MS-SCC) and to determine factors that predict the occurrence of occult metastasis in this patient population. A retrospective analysis was conducted using data from the SEER database. Patients with cT2N0 MS-SCC were included in the study and divided into two groups: those who received END and those who did not. The impact of END on disease-specific survival (DSS) and overall survival (OS) was assessed using propensity score matching. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to determine predictors for occult metastasis. A total of 180 patients were included in the study, with 40 cases receiving END. Following propensity score matching, patients treated with END and those without showed similar DSS and OS rates. Occult metastasis was observed in 9 patients, corresponding to a rate of 22.5%. High-grade tumors were independently associated with a higher risk of occult metastasis compared to low-grade tumors (hazard ratio 1.52, 95% confidence interval 1.17-2.00). cT2 MS-SCC carries an occult metastasis rate of 22.5%, with histologic grade being the primary determinant of occult metastasis. END does not confer a significant survival benefit in this patient population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The role of elective neck dissection (END) in the management of clinical N0 (cN0) squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) of the sinonasal tract is unclear. In this systematic review, we evaluate the risk of occult nodal metastasis in sinonasal SCCs with cN0M0 tumors to support clinical decision making. METHODS A literature search was conducted in the following three electronic databases: Medline/PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. Articles were assessed for eligibility in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) statement. Two independent authors extracted the data. The Methodological Items for Non-Randomized Studies (MINORS) tool was used for the assessment of biases of each included study. RESULTS Our systematic review included six studies that met the inclusion criteria, all retrospective in design. The rate of histologically proven metastasis of sinonasal SCC to the clinically negative neck is 12.5%. Almost half of the positive cases are pathologically staged as N2 (6.5%). CONCLUSION Our systematic review provides the rate of sinonasal SCC occult metastasis to the neck so that the surgeons can discuss with patients the risks and possible merits of adding an elective neck management in the surgical plan.

[PMID: 38862085 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijrobp.2024.05.029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2023] [Revised: 05/16/2024] [Accepted: 05/31/2024] [Indexed: 06/13/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE This study aims to examine the role of elective nodal irradiation (ENI) in clinically node-negative (cN0) sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SNSCC) and to define the optimal radiation fields for ENI. METHODS AND MATERIALS We retrospectively reviewed 368 patients with cN0 SNSCC treated between 2009 and 2021. The study evaluated the impact of ENI on overall survival, progression-free survival, regional failure-free survival, and distant metastasis-free survival, along with the coverage areas of ENI. RESULTS The majority of patients underwent surgery (316/368, 85.9%), with 276 of 368 (75%) having tumors in the maxillary sinus or nasal cavity and 249 of 368 (67.7%) presenting with T4 disease. Additionally, in 119 of the 368 cases (32.3%), tumors were poorly differentiated. The 5-year overall survival, progression-free survival, regional failure-free survival, and distant metastasis-free survival rates were 59.3%, 54.0%, 57.6%, and 58.8%, respectively. ENI was performed in 217 patients (59%), with 16 experiencing neck relapse during follow-up. Although ENI did not enhance survival rates, it significantly reduced the overall regional failure rate (7.9% vs 1.8%; χ2 = 7.98; P < .01) and the cumulative incidence of regional failure (P = .045). Additionally, the subgroups with maxillary sinus origin (2.3% vs 13.5%; P = .025), T4 stage (1.8% vs 8.5%; P = .028), and poor differentiation (2.4% vs 13.5%; P = .029) had higher cumulative incidences of regional failure in patients without ENI. No significant difference was observed in survival and regional failure rates between patients treated with ENI to levels Ib and II with or without level III, as well as between cN0 patients with nonmidline crossing lesions receiving unilateral or bilateral ENI. CONCLUSIONS Despite no survival benefit, ENI significantly decreases the regional failure rate in patients with cN0 SNSCC. For primary lesions not crossing the midline, ipsilateral ENI targeting levels Ib and II proves to be an effective strategy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Maxillary sinus squamous cell carcinoma (MS-SCC) is an infrequent malignancy, and determining the optimal neck management for patients with cT3/4N0 MS-SCC remains a topic of ongoing debate. The purpose of this study was to compare the prognoses and quality of life outcomes of patients who underwent either elective neck dissection (END) or elective neck irradiation (ENI) for cT3/4N0 MS-SCC. METHODS In this retrospective study, we enrolled patients with surgically treated cT3/4N0 MS-SCC, and the impact of different neck management strategies on regional control and disease-specific survival was compared using propensity score matching. The effect of surgical intervention on quality of life was evaluated using the Mann-Whitney U test. RESULTS Of the 120 patients included, 36 underwent END. After propensity score matching, our analysis indicated that END did not lead to superior outcomes than ENI, as demonstrated by comparable rates of regional control (p = 0.990) and disease-specific survival (p = 0.999). However, in the 70 returned questionnaires, patients who underwent END reported higher scores in the domains of appearance, chewing, and speech than did patients who underwent ENI. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that while END and ENI contribute to similar prognoses, END yields superior functional outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE Locally advanced maxillary sinus cancers require radical surgery as a standard treatment, but this often results in significant disfigurement and impairment of function. JCOG1212 seeks to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the superselective intra-arterial infusion of cisplatin and concomitant radiation therapy (RADPLAT) for T4aN0M0 and T4bN0M0 maxillary sinus squamous cell carcinomas. We herein report the results of the efficacy confirmation phase in the T4a cohort. METHODS AND MATERIALS Patients received 100 mg/m2 cisplatin intra-arterially weekly for 7 weeks with concomitant radiation therapy (total 70 Gy) as determined by the results of the preceding dose-finding phase. The trial aimed to evaluate the primary endpoint of 3-year overall survival (OS), comparing RADPLAT with the historical control for 3-year OS in surgery (80%). RESULTS From April 2014 to August 2018, 65 patients were registered in the T4a cohort from 18 institutions, consisting of 54 men and 11 women with a median age of 64 years (range, 40-78 years) and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 0/1 (58/7). After excluding 1 ineligible patient, 64 patients were included in the primary analysis of efficacy and safety. The median follow-up was 4.5 years in all eligible patients, and the primary endpoint for 3-year OS was 82.8% (90% CI, 73.4%-89.2%). With regard to acute adverse events, mucositis (grade ≥3), neutropenia (grade ≥3), increased creatinine (grade ≥2), hearing impairment (grade ≥2), and stroke (grade ≥2) were observed in 20.3%, 14.1%, 3.1%, 3.1%, and 1.6% of patients, respectively. One treatment-related death due to a thromboembolic event was reported. CONCLUSIONS We demonstrated that RADPLAT showed favorable results for patients with T4aN0M0 maxillary sinus squamous cell carcinomas compared with the historical control for 3-year OS in surgery, which was from an earlier period, and showed some specific toxicities. Therefore, RADPLAT, as well as surgery, can be regarded as a possible treatment option for these patients.

Abstract
Objectives To analyze the incidence and spread of lymph node metastasis (LNM) and the effectiveness of prophylactic neck irradiation in patients with SNSCC. Methods A total of 255 patients with SNSCC were retrospectively reviewed. The LNM spread pattern was revealed. The clinical parameters related to LNM, and the prognostic value of elective neck irradiation (ENI) were assessed. A 1:1 matching with propensity scores was performed between ENI group and observation (OBS) group. Results The initial LNM rate was 20.8%, and the regional recurrence (RR) rate was 7.5%. Lymphatic spreading in SNSCC followed the common trajectories: a. level Ib ➔ level II ➔ level Va/level III/IV lymph nodes (LNs); b. retropharyngeal lymph nodes (RPLNs) ➔ level II LNs. The most frequently involved site was level II LNs (16.1%), followed by level Ib LNs (10.2%), RPLNs (4.7%), level III LNs (3.2%), level Va LNs (1.6%), level IVa LNs (1.4%) and level VIII LNs (0.8%). The median follow-up time was 105 months. The 5-year overall survival (OS) was 55.7% for N0 patients and 38.5% for patients with initial N+ or N- relapse (p = 0.009). After PSM, the 5-year regional recurrence-free survival was 71.6% and 94.7% (p = 0.046) in OBS and ENI group, respectively. The multivariate analysis showed that ENI (p = 0.013) and absence of nasopharynx involvement (p = 0.026) were associated with a significantly lower RR rate. Conclusions Patients with LNM had poorer survival than those who never experienced LNM. Lymphatic spread in SNSCC followed predictable patterns. ENI effectively reduced the RR rate in patients at high risk.

Abstract
Objective To determine the most appropriate radiologic criteria of metastatic retropharyngeal lymph nodes (RLNs) in patients with maxillary sinus cancer (MSC). Materials and methods We retrospectively evaluated 16 consecutive patients who underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) before and after the treatment of locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the maxillary sinus. The minimal and maximal diameters of all RLNS were recorded. RLNs were classified as metastatic on the basis of the MRI follow-up (f/u). RLNs were considered non-metastatic if stable disease continued until the final MRI f/u and metastatic in cases with different evaluations (complete response, partial response, progressive disease) determined using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) ver. 1.1. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) and area under the curve (AUC) were used to assess the accuracy of various criteria in the diagnosis of metastatic RLNs. Results Of the 34 RLNs in 16 cases observed on pretreatment MRI, 7 were classified as metastatic RLNs and 27 as non-metastatic RLNs. Using the radiologic criteria, metastatic RLNs tended to be diagnosed more accurately with the minimal axial diameter than with the maximal axial diameter (AUC; 0.97 vs. 0.73, p = 0.06). The most accurate size criterion of metastatic RLNs was a minimal axial diameter of 5 mm or larger, with an accuracy of 94.1% (32 of 34). Conclusions The most appropriate radiologic criterion of metastatic RLNs in MSC is a minimal axial diameter of 5 mm or longer.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the predictability of ophthalmic artery involvement in maxillary sinus cancer using preprocedural contrast enhanced CT and MRI. Methods We analyzed advanced (T3, T4a, and T4b) primary maxillary sinus squamous cell carcinoma treated with super-selective intra-arterial cisplatin infusion and concomitant radiotherapy (RADPLAT) from Oct 2016 to Mar 2020. Two diagnostic radiologists evaluated the tumor invasion site around the maxillary sinus using preprocedural imaging. These results were compared with the angiographic involvement of the ophthalmic artery using statistical analyses. We also evaluated our RADPLAT quality using complication rate, response to treatment, local progressive free survival (LPFS), and overall survival (OS). Results Twenty patients were included in this study. There were ten cases of ophthalmic artery tumor stain and there was a correlation between ophthalmic artery involvement and invasion for ethmoid sinus with statistically significant differences. Other imaging findings were not associated with ophthalmic artery involvement. Conclusions Ethmoid sinus invasion on preprocedural imaging could suggest ophthalmic artery involvement in maxillary sinus cancer. It may be useful in predicting prognosis and treatment selection.

Abstract
PURPOSE We have performed superselective intra-arterial cisplatin infusion with concomitant radiotherapy (RADPLAT) for patients with maxillary sinus cancer. The promising treatment outcomes of this non-surgical treatment were reported in past studies. However, few clinical studies have been conducted to evaluate the outcome of salvage surgery following RADPLAT. The purpose of this study was to analyze the treatment outcomes of salvage surgery for patients with recurrent maxillary sinus cancer after RADPLAT. METHODS We assessed 45 patients who had recurrence following RADPLAT between 1999 and 2017, and conducted a retrospective analysis. We excluded patients who did not complete RADPLAT. Patients were not considered to have completed RADPLAT if they underwent intra-arterial cisplatin less than three times or received a total radiation dose of less than 60 Gy. The primary endpoint was overall survival. The median follow-up period for surviving patients after recurrence was 5.1 years. RESULTS Twenty-five of the 45 (56%) patients underwent salvage surgery. The 5-year overall survival rate was 68% in patients who underwent salvage surgery, while all patients who did not undergo salvage surgery died during the observation period. Fifteen of 24 (63%) patients with local recurrence underwent salvage surgery. Eight patients did not undergo salvage surgery because of unresectable disease; five of the eight patients had unresectable posterior extension. All nine patients with nodal recurrence underwent neck dissection. CONCLUSION Treatment outcomes of salvage surgery following RADPLAT were favorable enough for it to be generally recommended. To reduce unresectable recurrence, the posterior section should be eradicated by RADPLAT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term treatment results of combined superselective intraarterial chemotherapy and radiation therapy for advanced maxillary sinus cancer (MSC) and the incidence of regional lymph node failure, and to reveal the clinical and anatomical predictive factors for metastasis. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 55 consecutive patients with locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the maxillary sinus who were treated with external radiotherapy and superselective intraarterial chemotherapy. Elective nodal irradiation (ENI) was performed only in the clinical node-positive (cN+) cases and not in the clinical node-negative (cN0) cases. RESULTS Thirty-eight patients were cN0, and 17 were cN+ at diagnosis. Regional lymph node metastases occurred in 7 of 38 patients with cN0, and 2 of 17 with cN+ during the median follow-up period of 36 months. There were more cases of high-grade (3 or 4) late adverse events in the ENI group than in the non-ENI group (13% vs. 41%, respectively; p = 0.03). In cN0 cases without ENI, invasion of the pterygoid plates (57% vs. 90%; p < 0.01) and oral cavity (35% vs. 92%, with invasion vs without invasion, respectively; p = 0.02) was significantly correlated with a low 5-year regional recurrence-free rate. CONCLUSIONS Patients with MCS and invasion of the pterygoid plates and oral cavity can be considered appropriate candidates for ENI.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to describe the results of definitive radiotherapy (RT) with concurrent chemotherapy for maxillary sinus carcinomas (MSCs) with neck lymph node metastasis to clarify its limitation. Local control (LC), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method and were compared between subgroups using the log rank test. Toxicity was classified using common terminology criteria of adverse events version 5.0. Eighteen patients with inoperable MSC with neck lymph node metastasis including 12 men and 6 women with a median age of 67 years were analyzed. The histologic diagnoses were as follows: 16 patients had squamous cell carcinomas and 2 had other histology. Four patients had stage T3 MSC, 6 had T4a and 8 had T4b. Among 18 patients, 7 received concurrent systemic chemotherapy and 11 received selective arterial chemo-infusion. The median follow-up period was 17 months. The 2-year LC, PFS and OS rates for the entire cohort were 34, 31 and 46%, respectively. No significant differences were observed for LC, PFS and OS rates between systemic chemotherapy and selective arterial chemo-infusion cohorts. Grade 3 or higher acute toxicity, including both non-hematological and hematological, was observed in nine patients (50%), while no grade 3 or higher late toxicity was observed. In conclusion, we described the results of definitive RT for MSCs with neck lymph node metastasis. Local recurrence of primary tumor was a frequent pattern of failure and it should be addressed in future study.

Locally advanced maxillary sinus carcinoma controlled by para-latero-nasal approach. Int J Surg Case Rep 2020; 78:347-350.

Abstract
Treatment of maxillary sinus carcinoma depends on its local and regional extension. It consists on a complete surgical excision followed most often by radiation therapy. Surgical excision corresponds to a partial, total, or extended maxillectomy, with resection of the neighboring anatomical structures affected by the tumor. This tumor resection must respect three precise rules: The most complete possible excision of the tumor, adequate excision margins in order to avoid possible recurrence, while combining the most possible aesthetic result. External approach is a therapeutic alternative when tumor extension does not allow satisfactory endoscopic resection. Regardless of the surgical approach, maxillary sinus carcinoma has an overall survival rate of 63% at 12 months, 20% at 24 months and 9% at 5 years.
Sino-nasal cancers are a rare pathology, with an incidence of 0.2–0.8% of all cancers, and less than 5% of ENT cancers. The site that is most often affected is the maxillary sinus in 35% of cases, followed by ethmoid sinus (30%) and of the nasal cavity in (16%). Several histological variants are described, but squamous cell carcinoma remains the most frequent in the maxillary sinus. Its diagnosis is often late making local control very difficult. Multimodal treatment allows an improvement in the survival rate compared to single treatment. Due to the progress of endoscopic surgery, external surgery is neglected. With this work we want to highlight the value to the external approach, especially in advanced cases.

Abstract
Objective This study explored the effectiveness of a new inflammatory prognostic system, using preoperative neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) to predict the postoperative survival rate of patients with sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SSCC). Methods Patients diagnosed with SSCC who undergone surgically treated without neoadjuvant therapy were included in the study between May 2008 and October 2017. Preoperative NLR is defined as: preoperative neutrophil/postoperative lymphocyte ratio. The prognostic value was uncovered by univariate and multivariate Cox hazards analysis. Results A total of 147 patients were included in this study. Through the multivariate analysis, pathological T stage (hazard ratio [HR] 1.719, confidence interval [CI] 1.277–3.642, p<0.001), pathological N stage (HR 1.344, 95% CI 1.015–2.776, p<0.001), and preoperative NLR (HR 1.579, 95% CI 1.217–3.092, p=0.002) were independent risk factor for overall survival (OS). Pathological T stage (HR 1.835, 95% CI 1.141–3.132, <0.001), pathological N stage (HR 1.281, 95% CI 1.169–2.476, p<0.001), and preoperative NLR (HR 1.688, 95% CI 1.162–3.363, p p<0.001) were also independently associated with disease-free survival (DFS). Pathological T stage (HR p<0.001, 95% CI 1.537–3.021, p<0.001), pathological N stage (HR1.571, 95% CI 1.157–2.258, p<0.001), and preoperative NLR (HR 1.509, 95% CI 1.153–3.104, p=0.001) were independent risk factors for disease-specific survival (DSS). Conclusion The preoperative NLR is considered to be a useful predictor of postoperative survival in SSCC patients.

Abstract
Purpose The indication of elective neck treatment (ENT) for clinically N0 (cN0) paranasal sinus (PNS) carcinoma remains unclear. We aimed to investigate different treatment outcomes regarding ENT and propose optimal recommendations for ENT. Materials and Methods We identified patients with cN0 PNS carcinoma who underwent curative-intent treatment between 1992 and 2015. Survival outcomes and pattern of failure were compared between patients who received ENT and those who did not. We sought to identify significant patient or pathologic factors regarding treatment outcomes. Results Among 124 patients meeting the inclusion criteria, 40 (32%) received ENT (‘ENT (+) group’) and 84 (68%) did not (‘ENT (−) group’). With a median follow-up of 54 months, the 5-year overall survival (OS) was 67%, and the 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) was 45%. There was no significant difference between the ENT (+) and ENT (−) groups regarding OS (p = 0.67) and PFS (p = 0.50). Neither group showed a significantly different pattern of failure, including regional failure (p = 0.91). There was no specific benefit, even in the subgroups analysis by tumor site, histologic type, and T stage. Nevertheless, patients who ever had regional and/or distant failure showed significantly worse prognosis. Conclusion ENT did not significantly affect the survival outcome or pattern of failure in patients with cN0 PNS carcinomas, showing that ENT should not be generalized in this group. However, further discussion on the optimal strategy for ENT should continue because of the non-negligible regional failure rates and significantly worse prognosis after regional failure events.

Abstract
Advances in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with maxillary sinus carcinoma have improved patient prognosis. This study investigated changes in demographic and clinical characteristics, treatment methods, and outcomes of patients with maxillary sinus carcinomas during three different 10-year periods spanning 60 years at our university hospital. Of the 233 patients with maxillary sinus carcinomas managed at Nagoya University Hospital, 135 were treated between 1951 and 1960 (first period), 35 between 1981 and 1990 (second period), and 63 between 2003 and 2012 (third period). Patient age, sex, TN classifications, treatment methods, and survival rates were compared among patients treated during these time periods. Of the 135, 35, and 63 patients with maxillary sinus carcinomas treated during these time periods, 86 (63.7%), 21 (51.4%), and 48 (76.2%), respectively, were men; 14 (10.4%), six (17.1%), and 14 (22.2%), respectively, were aged ≥70 years; and 135 (100%), 28 (80.0%), and 43 (68.3%), respectively, were treated surgically. The 5-year overall survival rates in patients treated during the first, second, and third periods were 29.7%, 44.3%, and 57.5%, respectively. These findings indicated that advances in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with maxillary sinus carcinoma, including computed tomography and craniofacial resection, have contributed to improvements in patient survival rates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Maxillary sinus carcinoma is an uncommon malignancy. Most reports on prognosis of this disease are from single institutions and include few patients. We used data from the United States National Cancer Institute's Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) program to construct models and nomograms for predicting outcomes of patients with maxillary sinus carcinomas. METHODS We used records from 668 patients with primary maxillary sinus carcinomas reported to the SEER program from 2004 to 2013 to build nomograms based on stratified multivariable Cox proportional hazard models for predicting 5-year overall survival (OS) and cause-specific survival (CSS). Model building was internally validated with the bootstrap approach. RESULTS Five-year survival was 39.7% (95% confidence interval [CI], 35.5% to 44.5%) and 46.8% (42.3% to 51.8%) for OS and CSS, respectively. The final Cox model included the variables of age at diagnosis, tumor size, histologic type, TNM stage, and surgery. Radiotherapy was a stratification factor in the models. The models demonstrated good accuracy for predicting survival with a bootstrap-corrected Somers Dxy of 0.44 for both OS and CSS models. Calibration curves indicated acceptable model calibration. CONCLUSION We developed tools for predicting prognosis that incorporate TNM stage and other readily available variables for patients with maxillary sinus carcinomas. The model performance was validated as good. These models can help clinicians to offer improved patient counseling in terms of clinical outcomes and make optimal treatment plans.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this work was to report outcomes of patients with nonmetastatic sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SNSCC) and to discuss the impact of elective neck irradiation (ENI) and selective neck dissection (SND) in clinically negative lymph node (N0) patients. METHODS Data from 104 nonmetastatic SNSCC patients treated with curative intent were retrospectively analysed. Uni- and multivariate analyses were used to assess prognostic factors of overall survival (OS) and locoregional control (LRC). RESULTS Median follow-up was 4.5 years. Eighty-five percent of tumours were stage III-IV. Treatments included induction chemotherapy (52.9 %), surgery (72 %) and radiotherapy (RT; 87 %). The 5‑year OS, progression-free survival, and LRC rates were 48, 44 and 57 %, respectively. Absence of surgery predicted a decrease of OS (hazard ratio [HR] 2.6; 95 % confidence interval [CI] 1.4-4.7), and LRC (HR 3.5; 95 % CI 1.8-6.8). Regional relapse was observed in 13/104 (13 %) patients and most common sites were level II (n = 12; 70.6 %), level III (n = 5; 29.4 %) and level Ib (n = 4; 23.5 %). Management of the neck in N0 patients (n = 87) included 11 % SND alone, 32 % ENI alone, 20 % SND + ENI and 37 % no neck treatment. In this population, a better LRC was found according to the management of the neck in favour of SND (94 % vs. 47 %; p = 0.002) but not ENI. CONCLUSION SND may detect occult cervical positive nodes, allowing selective postoperative RT. ENI (ipsilateral level II, ±Ib and III or bilateral) needs to be proposed in selected patients, especially when SND has not been performed.

Abstract
Currently, therapy for squamous cancer (SqC) is unsatisfactory. Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) has strong immune regulatory activity. This study tests the hypothesis that SEB enforces the effect of immunotherapy on SqC growth in a mouse model. C3H/HeN mice and the SqC cell line squamous cell carcinoma VII were used to create an SqC mouse model. Immune cell assessment was performed by flow cytometry. Real-time RT-PCR and western blotting were used to evaluate target molecule expression. An apoptosis assay was used to assess the suppressive effect of T helper-9 (Th9) cells on the SqC cells. The results showed that immunotherapy consisting of SEB plus SqC antigen significantly inhibited SqC growth in the mice. The frequency of Th9 cells was markedly increased in the SqC tissue and mouse spleens after treatment. SEB markedly increased the levels of signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 phosphorylation and the expression of histone deacetylase-1 (HDAC1) and PU.1 (the transcription factor of the interleukin 9 (IL-9) gene) in CD4+ T cells. Exposure to SqC-specific Th9 cells markedly induced SqC cell apoptosis both in vitro and in vivo. In conclusion, the administration of SEB induces Th9 cells in SqC-bearing mice, and theseTh9 cells inhibit SqC growth.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To discuss and review the role for elective treatment of the neck in maxillary squamous cell carcinoma. Improvements in survival have been seen because of improved local therapies and control; therefore, the treatment of the neck has become a topic of debate. RECENT FINDINGS The risk of occult metastases in neck nodes is higher for T3-4 tumors. The rate of nodal relapse in the N0 neck without elective treatment is 8-15%. With elective irradiation the nodal relapse rate decreases. However, most nodal relapses are accompanied by local failure or distant disease. Local failure remains the most common site of failure and cause of death in this patient population. SUMMARY Treatment failure occurs overall in 62% of all patients, with local recurrence by far the most common site of treatment failure, which is rarely amenable to salvage therapy. Therefore, elective neck irradiation is not routinely indicated in the clinically N0 neck; those that recur only in the neck can be surgically salvaged more than 50% of the time.
