Treatment of unilateral olfactory neuroblastoma: Appropriate extent of surgical resection and potential for olfactory preservation. Int Forum Allergy Rhinol 2024; 14:881-886. [PMID: 38526915 DOI: 10.1002/alr.23345] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2024] [Revised: 02/19/2024] [Accepted: 03/05/2024] [Indexed: 03/27/2024]
Abstract
Historically, comprehensive surgical resection for olfactory neuroblastoma has included the bilateral olfactory epithelium, cribriform plate, overlying dura, olfactory bulbs and tracts. This results in postoperative anosmia that may significantly impact a patient's quality of life without definitive added benefit in survival. The prevalence of occult intracranial disease is low, especially for Hyams grade I and II tumors. A unilateral approach sparing the contralateral cribriform plate and olfactory system can be considered for select cases of early stage, low-grade tumors when the disease does not cross midline to involve the contralateral olfactory cleft or septal mucosa and when midline dural margins can be cleared with frozen pathology. Approximately half of patients who undergo unilateral resection may have residual olfaction even with adjuvant unilateral radiation. Early data suggest favorable disease-free survival and overall survival for patients who underwent the unilateral approach; however, larger sample studies are needed to confirm comparability to bilateral resections regarding oncologic outcomes.

Abstract
Olfactory neuroblastomas are uncommon malignancies that arise from olfactory receptor cells located high in the nasal cavity. Accurate diagnosis plays a crucial role in determining clinical results and guiding treatment decisions. Diagnosis can be a major challenge for pathologists, especially when dealing with tumours with poor differentiation. The discovery of several molecular and immunohistochemical markers would help to overcome classification difficulties. Due to the paucity of large-scale studies, standardisation of diagnosis, treatment and prediction of outcome remains a challenge. Surgical resection by endoscopic techniques with the addition of postoperative irradiation is the treatment of choice. In addition, it is advisable to consider elective neck irradiation to minimise the risk of nodal recurrence. Molecular characterisation will help not only to make more accurate diagnoses but also to identify specific molecular targets that can be used to develop personalised treatment options tailored to each patient. The present review aims to summarise the current state of knowledge on histopathological diagnosis, the molecular biology and management of this disease.

Pediatr Blood Cancer 2024; 71:e30793. [PMID: 38018357 DOI: 10.1002/pbc.30793] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2023] [Revised: 10/31/2023] [Accepted: 11/18/2023] [Indexed: 11/30/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pediatric esthesioneuroblastoma (EN) can infiltrate skull base anatomy, presenting challenges due to high radiation doses and pediatric tissue sensitivity. This study reports outcomes of pediatric EN treated with proton radiotherapy (PT). PROCEDURE Using an IRB-approved prospective outcomes registry, we evaluated patient, tumor, and treatment-related variables impacting disease control and toxicity in pediatric nonmetastatic EN treated with modern multimodality therapy, including PT. RESULTS Fifteen consecutive patients (median age 16) comprising Kadish stage B (n = 2), C (n = 9), and D (n = 4) tumors were assessed, including six with intracranial involvement, four with cranial nerve deficits, and four with cervical lymphadenopathy. Before radiation, two had subtotal and 13 had gross total resections (endoscopic or craniofacial). Two underwent neck dissection. Eleven received chemotherapy before radiation (n = 5), concurrent with radiation (n = 4), or both (n = 2). Median total radiation dose (primary site) was 66 Gy/CGE for gross disease and 54 Gy/CGE (cobalt Gray equivalent) for microscopic disease. Median follow-up was 4.8 years. No patients were lost to follow-up. Five-year disease-free and overall survival rates were 86% (no local or regional recurrences). Two patients developed vertebral metastases and died. Two required a temporary feeding tube for oral mucositis/dysphagia. Late toxicities included symptomatic retinopathy, major reconstructive surgery, cataracts, chronic otitis media, chronic keratoconjunctivitis, hypothyroidism, and in-field basal cell skin cancer. CONCLUSIONS A multimodality approach for pediatric EN results in excellent local control. Despite the moderate-dose PT, serious radiation toxicity was observed; further dose and target volume reductions may benefit select patients. Longer follow-up and comparative data from modern photon series are necessary to fully characterize any relative PT advantage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intraoperative frozen section histopathology (IFSH) in sinonasal and skull base surgery although widely used is not well studied. METHODS We reviewed a database of sinonasal and anterior skull base tumors, between 1973 and 2019, and identified 312 suitable operative cases. Clinicopathologic data was collected and analyzed, in addition to descriptive data for histopathological reports classified as "ambiguous," or "limited/insufficient-quality/quantity." RESULTS Overall, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy for IFSH were 90.2%, 97.5%, 94.2%, 95.6%, and 95.2%, respectively. IFSH for adenocarcinoma, salivary carcinoma, and SCC all demonstrated a better clinical utility with a sensitivity of 90% or greater, while it was less than 90% for esthesioneuroblastoma, melanoma, and sarcoma. Other factors such as unclear reporting, poor quality specimens, or limited quality specimens were shown to lower diagnostic performance. Based on limitations identified, we proposed a novel IFSH reporting algorithm to improve IFSH in sinonasal and skull base surgery. CONCLUSIONS IFSH is an accurate and clinically useful technique in sinonasal and skull base surgery patients; however, limitations exist.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Traditional management of olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB) includes margin-negative resection with removal of cribriform plate, dura, and olfactory bulb, regardless of intracranial disease. This approach may be overtreating certain patients. Our investigation examines risk factors associated with occult intracranial disease to optimize therapeutic outcomes. METHODS This retrospective, multi-institutional cohort study examined clinical covariates associated with occult intracranial involvement. Patient demographics, staging, Hyam's grade, and pathologic involvement of dura, olfactory bulb/tract, and brain were collected. Diagnostic imaging was reviewed. Positive and negative predictive value (NPV) were estimated along with effect size estimates. Cox hazard regression examined associations with overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). RESULTS A total of 224 subjects with new diagnoses of ONB (2005-2021) were identified. Skull base bone involvement on computed tomography (CT) had the highest NPV for pathologic dura (88.0%), olfactory bulb (88%), and brain involvement (97.3%). Hyam's grade category was significantly associated with dural involvement (φC = 0.26; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.16, 0.42). Subjects without radiologic skull base involvement (n = 66) had pathologic positivity of 12.1%. Within this subgroup, Hyam's grade was clinically significant for dural positivity (φ = 0.34; 95% CI: -0.12, 0.71) with 28.6% involvement in high grade tumors. Neither clinical nor pathologic positivity of intracranial structures were associated with significantly different OS or DFS. CONCLUSIONS Both CT and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) had reasonably good NPV for involvement of dura and olfactory bulb. Higher Hyam's grade was associated with dural involvement. Patients with low-grade tumors not involving the skull base may be suitable for avoiding skull base resection; however, further investigation is warranted.

Abstract
Esthesioneuroblastoma (ENB) is a rare sinonasal malignancy that is typically managed with a combination of surgical resection, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Data used to guide therapeutic decision making are scant and typically obtained from small retrospective series due to the relative infrequency of the diagnosis. Here, we report our own institutional experience in the management of patients with ENB to help compliment these prior single institutional reports. Records from patients receiving treatment for ENB at the University of Minnesota Medical Center were obtained from 1994 to 2019. A total of 17 patients were identified from our retrospective review. Kadish stage at initial presentation was A in 2 (12%), B in 5 (29%), C in 9 (53%) and D in 1 (6%). All patients underwent surgical resection. Adjuvant radiotherapy was utilized in 12 (71%) patients with concurrent chemotherapy administered in 3 (18%) patients. One patient received neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by surgical resection. Four patients developed recurrent disease with locoregional failure presenting as the most common site of initial relapse within our study population. Isolated local recurrence occurred in 2 patients, one patient developed combined local and regional failure, while another had combined regional and distant failure with osseous metastases. Recurrent disease was managed by either combined salvage surgery and radiotherapy (RT) or RT alone. Three of the 4 patients who developed recurrence eventually succumbed to their disease. Estimates for 5-year DFS and OS were 65% and 90%, respectively, for the entire cohort.

Abstract
Olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB) is an ectodermal malignant tumor originating from the olfactory nerve epithelium of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinus. Olfactory neuroblastoma is a rare cancer, with an estimated incidence of 0.4 per million. Olfactory neuroblastoma often occurs in the top of the nasal cavity or near the lateral wall of the middle turbinate, which accounts for approximately 3% to 5% of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinus tumors. Olfactory neuroblastoma primarily in the nasopharynx is rare and tends to be misdiagnosed as nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Herein, we presented a case of ONB of the nasopharynx with recurrent nasopharyngeal tumor and by lymph node metastasis in both sides of the neck 14 months after surgical removal of the primary ONB. Long-term disease-free survival was achieved by definitive radiotherapy. Surgery combined with radiotherapy or definitive radiotherapy is recommended for primary ONB of the nasopharynx, radiotherapy target delineation including nasopharynx and pharyngeal lymph nodes, and neck lymph node drainage area of level Ib, Ⅱ, and Ⅲ.

Abstract
Background Esthesioneuroblastoma (ENB) is a rare, aggressive and malignant sinonasal tumour. This tumour makes for a very interesting study because ever since its mention in medical literature, although quite a lot of research has been put into it, a lot is yet to be known about it. Aim To summarize the available literature & document an article on the contemporary practises in the management of ENB. Methods A comprehensive literature review was done using Google Scholar and PubMed database with the key words: "esthesioneuroblastoma", "olfactory neuroblastoma", "Kadish" and "Hyams". Articles published in English were used. Articles published till April 2021 were reviewed. Conclusion ENB has a diverse histological appearance. This tumour has a bimodal age distribution without any gender predilection. Prompt identification and treatment is required for a favourable outcome and requires close collaboration of radiology, pathology, and rhinology. Staging, management and prognosis are determined by regional involvement in non-metastatic cases due to its proximity to neurological structures and locally destructive nature. Immunohistochemistry is a must for accurate diagnosis. Uni-modality of treatment has high chances of local recurrence. Multi-modality provides good results even in advanced stage. A combination of surgery and radiotherapy seems to be the optimum approach to treatment. The exact role of chemotherapy in treatment protocols is still unclear. Cervical lymph node metastases are commonly studied, however its management in patients who present without apparent nodal involvement is not yet clear. An extended follow-up period is recommended in all patients of ENB patients.

Abstract
Background Historically sinonasal malignancies were always addressed via open craniofacial surgery for an oncologic resection. Increasingly esthesioneuroblastomas are excised using an exclusively endoscopic approach, however, the rarity of this disease limits the availability of long‐term and large scale outcomes data. Objective The primary objective is to evaluate the treatment modalities used and the overall survival of patients with esthesioneuroblastoma managed with exclusively endoscopic surgery. Methods In accordance with PRISMA guidelines, PubMed was queried to identify studies describing outcomes associated with endoscopic management of esthesioneuroblastomas. Results Forty‐four out of 2462 articles met inclusion criteria, totaling 399 patients with esthesioneuroblastoma treated with an exclusively endoscopic approach. Seventy‐two patients (18.0%) received adjuvant chemotherapy and 331 patients (83.0%) received postoperative radiation therapy. The average age was 50.6 years old (range 6–83). Of the 399 patients, 57 (16.6%) were Kadish stage A, 121 (35.2%) were Kadish stage B, 145 (42.2%) were Kadish stage C, and 21 (6.1%) were Kadish stage D. Pooled analysis demonstrated that 66.0% of patients had Hyams histologic Grade Ⅰ or Ⅱ, while 34.0% of patients had Grade Ⅲ or Ⅳ disease. Negative surgical margins were achieved in 86.9% of patients, and recurrence was identified in 10.3% of patients. Of those with 5‐year follow‐up, reported overall survival was 91.1%. Conclusion Exclusively endoscopic surgery for esthesioneuroblastoma is performed for a wide range of disease stages and grades, and the majority of these patients are also treated with adjuvant chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Reported overall recurrence rate is 10.3% and 5‐year survival is 91.1%.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB) is a rare cancer of the sinonasal region. We provide a comprehensive analysis of this malignancy with molecular and clinical trial data on a subset of our cohort to report on the potential efficacy of somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2)-targeting imaging and therapy. METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis of 404 primary, locally recurrent, and metastatic olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB) patients from 12 institutions in the United States of America, United Kingdom and Europe. Clinicopathological characteristics and treatment approach were evaluated. SSTR2 expression, SSTR2-targeted imaging and the efficacy of peptide receptor radionuclide therapy [PRRT](177Lu-DOTATATE) were reported in a subset of our cohort (LUTHREE trial; NCT03454763). RESULTS Dural infiltration at presentation was a significant predictor of overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) in primary cases (n = 278). Kadish-Morita staging and Dulguerov T-stage both had limitations regarding their prognostic value. Multivariable survival analysis demonstrated improved outcomes with lower stage and receipt of adjuvant radiotherapy. Prophylactic neck irradiation significantly reduces the rate of nodal recurrence. 82.4% of the cohort were positive for SSTR2; treatment of three metastatic cases with SSTR2-targeted peptide-radionuclide receptor therapy (PRRT) in the LUTHREE trial was well-tolerated and resulted in stable disease (SD). CONCLUSIONS This study presents pertinent clinical data from the largest dataset, to date, on ONB. We identify key prognostic markers and integrate these into an updated staging system, highlight the importance of adjuvant radiotherapy across all disease stages, the utility of prophylactic neck irradiation and the potential efficacy of targeting SSTR2 to manage disease.

Psychophysical assessments of olfaction after endoscopic unilateral resection with post-operative radiotherapy in olfactory neuroblastomas. Auris Nasus Larynx 2021; 49:1088-1092.

Abstract
Endoscopic resection with post-operative radiotherapy has been included in the standard therapeutic options for olfactory neuroblastomas (ONBs). Recent publications have indicated the feasibility of olfactory preservation after endoscopic unilateral resection of ONBs. This study validated residual olfaction using the psychophysical assessment, T & T olfactometer, in patients who underwent endoscopic unilateral resection with post-operative radiotherapy. A single-institutional retrospective review was performed to identify patients who underwent endoscopic unilateral resection of ONBs with olfaction monitoring using T & T olfactometer between 2009 and 2020. T & T olfactometry was performed before surgery, after surgery, before radiotherapy, and after completion of radiotherapy. Four patients (one female and three males) were identified. The mean observation period was 41.9 months, and all patients showed no evidence of disease. Three patients exhibited residual olfactory function with two patients having normal or pre-operative level olfaction, although T & T olfactometer results showed a temporary increase in recognition thresholds after surgery. As consequence, endoscopic unilateral resection can achieve satisfactory olfactory preservation in patients with early-stage ONBs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND For olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB), the combination of surgical tumor resection and radiation therapy (RT) has been considered the "gold standard" in treatment protocols intended to cure. OBJECTIVE To summarize evidence on the treatment of ONB using surgery alone. METHODS A retrospective institutional case series, a systematic review of the literature, and an individual patient data (IPD) meta-analysis on only surgically treated ONB patients. RESULTS At our institution, a total of 10 patients were treated through surgery alone and remained alive and free of disease at last follow-up. The IPD meta-analysis on 128 patients revealed a disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) of 67.7% and 75.4% at 5 years and 57.1% and 71.9% at 10 years, respectively. Univariate analysis showed that Kadish stage C/D and Hyams grading III//IV significantly affected OS (P = 0.000 and P = 0.000) and DFS (P = 0.000 and P = 0.002). For low-risk patients, the DFS was 80.6% at 5 years and 67.8% at 10 years, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Surgery alone is an equivalent alternative to combined treatment in carefully selected low-risk ONB patients with better outcome measures than previously reported.

Abstract
The esthesioneuroblastoma (ENB) is characterized as a rare malignant sinonasal tumor of neuroectodermal origin. Its starting point is the olfactory epithelium located in the upper part of the nasal cavities. Different nomenclatures have been proposed, but the most common are "esthesioneuroblastoma" and "olfactory neuroblastoma". ENBs have a bimodal distribution and mainly occur in teenagers, young adults and people aged 50-60. It is a very rare tumor in pediatrics since only around 100 cases have been reported so far. Within ENBs, we can distinguish tumors with different biological behavior ranging from localized forms with slow evolution to aggressive and metastatic forms at onset. In addition, precisely diagnosing undifferentiated tumors and distinguishing them from other etiologies of sinonasal tumors are sometime difficult. Added to its very low incidence, these characteristics make the study of ENB complicated. The standard treatment currently includes broad surgery followed by radiation therapy in localized resectable tumors. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is indicated in large unresectable tumors and in metastatic forms. However, in certain indications, such as high-grade operable tumors, the role of perioperative chemotherapy remains to be defined. The objective of this analysis is to detail current knowledge regarding ENBs' epidemiological, biological, clinical and radiological characteristics as well as how to manage ENB in young patients.

Abstract
Purpose Olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB) is a rare head and neck cancer believed to be originated from neural crest cells of the olfactory membrane located in the roof of the nasal fossa. This study evaluates clinical outcomes and failure patterns in ONB patients of those patients treated with surgical resection at a high-volume tertiary cancer center. Methods and Materials Thirty-nine ONB patients who underwent surgical resection at our institution from 1996 to 2017 were retrospectively identified. Univariate, multivariate, and survival analysis were calculated using Cox regression analysis and Kaplan-Meier log-rank. Results Median follow-up time was 59 months (range: 5.2-236 months). The median overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) for the entire cohort were 15 and 7.6 years, respectively. The 5-year cumulative OS and DFS were 83 and 72%, respectively. The 5-year OS for low Hyams grade (LHG) versus high Hyams grade (HHG) was 95 versus 61% ( p = 0.041). LHG was found in 66% of the early Kadish stage patients compared with 28% in the advanced Kadish stage patients ( p = 0.057). On multivariate analysis, HHG and positive node status predicted for worse OS and only HHG predicted for worse DFS. Of note, five patients (all Kadish stage A) who received surgical resection alone had no observed deaths or recurrences with a median follow-up of 44 months (range: 5-235 months). Conclusion In this retrospective cohort, patients with positive nodes or HHG have significantly worse clinical outcomes. Future studies should explore treatment intensification for HHG or positive nodes.

Abstract
Esthesioneuroblastoma as a source of ectopic Cushing's syndrome is rare, and to the best of our knowledge, only 20 cases have been reported worldwide. A 46-year-old healthy man visited a local clinic for general weakness and hyposmia, and underwent examination with serial endocrinological workup and brain imaging. 68Gallium-DOTA-TOC positron emission tomography scan was helpful where diagnosis of sellar MRI and inferior petrosal sinus sampling were discordant. Combined transcranial and endoscopic endonasal approach surgery was performed, and a diagnosis of esthesioneuroblastoma was given.

Abstract
Esthesioneuroblastoma (ENB) is a rare malignant tumor of the nasal cavity. The genetic basis of its development is still under study and has not been fully delineated. It has varying symptoms depending on the lesion's location within the nasal cavity. The most commonly used systems for such lesions are the Kadish staging and Haymes grading systems. The objectives are to review the most recent published literature evaluating the different treatments/ combination of treatment and assess the most appropriate treatment modality that can provide the longest progression-free survival and overall survival for ENB patients. Moreover, a look at what the latest literature suggests when it comes to adjuvant treatments and their effect on survival is also key to further the body of knowledge for neurosurgeons, Ears, Nose, and Throat (ENT) physicians and all the different subspecialties that deal and serve these population of patients. The published literature was reviewed starting from 1990. The focus was made on single-center experiences given their availability and easy access. The most recently published systematic review was used as the benchmark; research published after that was included in this study. The database search in OVID was conducted using the following keywords: "Esthesioneuroblastoma", "ENB", "Olfactory Neuroblastoma", Nose neoplasm", skull base neoplasm", "radiation", and "resection". The database search found 17 papers which included 14 single-center reports, one systematic review, and two nationwide multi-center reviews. Surgery plus adjuvant radiation therapy appears to provide the best overall survival and progression-free survival especially in patients with high Kadesh grade. On the other hand, surgery alone or biopsy followed with radiation therapy provided the lower progression-free survival and overall survival from time of diagnosis. The role of chemotherapy, however, requires further investigation to assess its potentially harmful effects. The use of surgery as a stand-alone modality of treatment should be cautiously and rarely used in patients with lower staging scores and multiple negative resection margins.
