Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the impact of two radiation modalities on loco-regional control, survival and tumour emergence, after node dissection for an unilateral head and neck carcinoma of unknown primary (HNCUP). MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a multicentric retrospective study of 138 patients with unilateral HNCUP treated between 2002 and 2017. The absence of primary tumour was assessed by a systematic panendoscopy and positron emission tomography. Neck dissection was initially performed for all patients. Radiation Therapy was delivered on ipsilateral lymph node areas in 62 cases (44%: UL-RT group) and on bilateral lymph node areas and the entire pharyngeal mucosa in 77 cases (56%: COMP-RT group). Impact of radiation modalities on locoregional control and overall survival was assessed using propensity score matching method in order to balance baseline characteristics between the two groups. RESULTS The population included 80.4% men, 80.4% smokers, 32.6% P16 positive tumours and 71.0% extracapsular extension. After a median follow-up of 5 years, the locoregional control rate was 80.3% in the UL-RT group and 75.3% in the COMP-RT group (p = 0.688). The corresponding rate of contralateral lymph node recurrence was 0% versus 2.6% (p = 0.503) and the rate of tumour emergence was 11.5% versus 9.1% (p = 0.778). No significant difference was observed between the UL-RT and the COMP-RT groups for overall survival (p = 0.9516), specific survival (p = 0.4837) or tumour emergence (p = 0.9034). CONCLUSION UL-RT seems to provide similar outcomes as COMP-RT in unilateral HNCUP post-operative management.
