[PMID: 40219709 DOI: 10.1002/hed.28140] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2024] [Revised: 02/08/2025] [Accepted: 03/14/2025] [Indexed: 04/14/2025] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE There is controversy regarding bilateral neck dissection for cN0 supraglottic squamous cell carcinoma. This study aimed to explore the risk factor of occult isolated contralateral/bilateral metastasis in cN0 supraglottic squamous cell carcinoma and help clinicians better make assessments for these patients. METHOD PubMed, the Cochrane Library, CNKI, and CBM were systematically searched for studies on occult lymph node metastasis in cN0 supraglottic squamous cell carcinoma from the inception of each database to May 30, 2024. All patients with supraglottic squamous cell carcinoma and a clinical N0 neck, who had complete records of neck lymph node metastasis, were included in the study. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) reporting guideline was followed to extract data. Data were pooled using a random-effects generalized linear mixed model with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The risk of occult isolated contralateral/bilateral metastatic lymph nodes was analyzed. RESULTS Fifteen studies including 1609 patients with cN0 supraglottic squamous cell carcinoma were analyzed. The pooled risk of occult isolated contralateral/bilateral metastasis was 7.49% (95% CI: 5.65%-9.87%; I2 = 57%). For Type A tumors, the risk was 4.14% (95% CI: 2%-64%; I2 = 81%), 6.74% for Type B (95% CI: 2.27%-18.33%, I2 = 82%), and 13.62% for Type C (95% CI: 5.82%-28.66%, I2 = 69%). For T1-T2 patients, the risk was 5.18% (95% CI: 2%-64%; I2 = 81%), and 8.73% (95% CI: 5.92%-12.69%, I2 = 0%)for T3-T4 patients. When ipsilateral pN+ was present, the risk increased to 20.97% (95% CI: 16.09%-26.85%, I2 = 29%). CONCLUSIONS Contralateral neck dissection is recommended for Type C patients. Pathologically ipsilateral metastasis confirmed patients should receive contralateral neck dissection, radiotherapy, or even active surveillance follow-up.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The Head and Neck Cancer Registry, supported by the Japan Society for Head and Neck Cancer, was re-established in 2012 after renewal of the contents and methods of registration. METHODS The registry registers patients with previously untreated, histologically confirmed malignant tumors of the head and neck, including the oral cavity, larynx, hypopharynx, oropharynx, nasopharynx, nasal cavity and paranasal sinus, major salivary gland, and cervical nodal involvement with an unknown primary. RESULTS The total number of registered patients reached more than 150,000 as of June 2024. We have published reports of important real-world evidence from the registry data. CONCLUSION We believe that this nation-wide, organ-based registry aids understanding of the epidemiology and treatment strategies of head and neck cancer, in addition to hospital-based and national cancer registries in Japan.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to better understand the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, and treatment outcomes of head and neck sarcomas using real-world data from Japan. METHODS Using the Japanese Head and Neck Cancer Registry, we identified 438 patients who were pathologically diagnosed with head and neck sarcoma between 2011 and 2020. We compared epidemiological, clinical, and prognostic data for the different histological types of sarcoma. RESULTS The top five most common histopathological types were rhabdomyosarcoma, osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, and liposarcoma. The most common primary sites were the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. The overall cohort had clinical, pathologic, and occult lymph node positivity rate (OLR) of 18%, 15%, and 2%, respectively. Clinical lymph node positivity was highest in rhabdomyosarcoma (46%), followed by angiosarcoma (26%), with leiomyosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, and liposarcoma accounting for less than 10%. The 3-year overall survival rate was 74.8% among the 147 patients with available prognostic information. The histological type with the lowest 3-year overall survival was undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (54%), followed by leiomyosarcoma (65%), and angiosarcoma (69%). In six of seven histological types, the 3-year locoregional-free survival rate was less than 70%. CONCLUSION Sarcomas of the head and neck most commonly occur in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. The prevalent histological type depended on the primary site. Rhabdomyosarcoma and angiosarcoma are histological types with a high risk of cervical metastasis. In the head and neck region, there are numerous histological types many of which lack local control.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study is to elucidate whether total pharyngolaryngectomy (TPL) or chemoradiotherapy (CRT) provides a better prognostic outcome in patients with T4aM0 hypopharyngeal carcinoma (HPSCC) using a nationwide database. METHODS All data were obtained from the Head and Neck Cancer Registry of Japan, and information from patients who were newly diagnosed with T4aM0 HPSCC between 2011 and 2015 was extracted. The primary endpoint was disease-specific survival (DSS), and the secondary endpoint was overall survival (OS). The inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) adjustments was used for survival analyses. RESULTS Our cohort included 1143 patients. The TPL and CRT groups included 724 and 419 patients, respectively. Following IPTW adjustments, both the OS and DSS of the TPL group were significantly longer than those of the CRT group (P = .02 and P = .002, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Survival superiority was demonstrated for patients with T4aM0 HPSCC treated with TPL compared with those treated with CRT.

The role of central neck dissection and adjuvant treatment in pT4aN0 laryngeal carcinoma treated with open partial horizontal laryngectomy. Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol 2024; 281:5385-5393. [PMID: 38977487 DOI: 10.1007/s00405-024-08799-3] [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: 12/26/2023] [Accepted: 06/18/2024] [Indexed: 07/10/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE The study aimed to identify parameters that could predict oncological and functional outcomes in patients with pT4aN0 laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) who underwent open partial horizontal laryngectomy (OPHL). The role of paratracheal neck dissection (PTND) was analyzed as the primary outcome. Additionally, the study compared the outcomes of patients who underwent postoperative radio/chemotherapy (PORT/PORCT) with those who refused or did not adhere to adjuvant treatments. METHODS Twenty-nine OPHL patients whose pathological exam was consistent with pT4aN0-x disease were enrolled and their clinical charts were retrospectively reviewed. The study analyzed oncological outcomes, such as local, regional, and distant recurrence rates (RR), overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), and disease-specific survival (DSS). Additionally, functional results were analyzed, including decannulation rate, hospitalization time, and postoperative complication rate. RESULTS The study revealed and overall recurrence rate of 27%. The final rates for OS and DSS were 68% and 79%, respectively. Based on the univariate analysis the PTND was significantly associated with longer DFS. No significant differences inoncological outcomes were observed between pT4a patients who underwent adjuvant radio/radiochemotherapy and those who did not, in terms of RR, DFS, DSS or OS. However, adjuvant treatment was found to significantly increase decannulation time. CONCLUSIONS In a properly super-selected subgroup of patients with pT4aN0 LSCC, OPHL may beconsidered as a conservative surgical option even without adjuvant treatment. However, for optimal oncological outcomes, it is strongly recommended to consider a central compartment dissection in cases of hypoglottic and anterior extra-laryngeal tumor extension.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Whether concurrent chemotherapy with radiotherapy (CRT) is effective for elderly patients with head and neck cancer is a controversial topic. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of CRT vs. radiation therapy (RT) among elderly patients in Japan. METHODS Data from the Head and Neck Cancer Registry of Japan were extracted and analyzed. Patients with locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the oropharynx, hypopharynx, or larynx who received definitive CRT or RT between 2011 and 2014 were included. RESULTS CRT was administered to 78% of the 1057 patients aged ≥ 70 years and 67% of the 555 patients aged ≥ 75 years. For the patients aged ≥ 75 years, the overall survival (OS) rate was significantly better in the CRT group than in the RT group (P < 0.05), while the progression-free survival (PFS) rate was not significantly different (P > 0.05). The add-on effect of CRT was significantly poor in elderly patients (P < 0.05), and it was not a significant factor in the multivariate analysis for patients aged ≥ 75 years. After propensity score matching, there were no significant differences in the OS and PFS rates between the patients aged ≥ 70 years and those aged ≥ 75 years (all, P > 0.05). CONCLUSION Although aggressive CRT is administered to elderly patients in Japan, its effectiveness is uncertain. Further prospective randomized trials are needed to verify whether CRT is superior to RT alone for elderly patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to analyze the nationwide prognosis of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma who underwent definitive radiotherapy in Japan, utilizing the National Head and Neck Cancer Registry data. METHODS A total of 741 patients diagnosed with primary nasopharyngeal carcinoma were screened from 2011 to 2014. The inclusion criteria were histologically proven nasopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma, receiving definitive radiotherapy, and no distant metastases. Patients with unclear prognoses or unknown staging were excluded. The primary endpoint was 5-year overall survival, and secondary endpoints were 5-year progression-free survival and survival by stage. RESULTS A total of 457 patients met the inclusion criteria. The median age was 60 years, and 80% were male. The proportions of patients with performance status 0, 1, 2 and 3 were 69, 10, 1 and 1%, respectively. Chemoradiotherapy was administered to 84.7%. Radiotherapy modalities were recorded only for 29 patients (three received intensity-modulated radiotherapy and 26 received two/three-dimensional radiotherapy). Of those included, 7.4, 24.7, 35.7, 24.5 and 7.7% had Stage I, II, III, IVA and IVB disease, respectively. The 5-year overall survival was 72.5% for all patients: 82.6, 86.6, 76.0, 51.4 and 66.5% for Stage I, II, III, IVA and IVB disease, respectively. The 5-year progression-free survival was 58.6%: 75.6, 66.8, 61.5, 43.7 and 46.5% for Stage I, II, III, IVA and IVB disease, respectively. CONCLUSIONS This nationwide survey demonstrated favorable prognoses and provided valuable foundational data for similar future surveys to monitor the penetration of appropriate treatment and changes in clinical structures based on new evidence.

Background The occult lymph node metastasis (LNM) of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) affects the treatment and prognosis of patients. This study aimed to comprehensively compare the performance of the three-dimensional and two-dimensional deep learning models, radiomics model, and the fusion models for predicting occult LNM in LSCC. Methods In this retrospective diagnostic study, a total of 553 patients with clinical N0 stage LSCC, who underwent surgical treatment without distant metastasis and multiple primary cancers, were consecutively enrolled from four Chinese medical centres between January 01, 2016 and December 30, 2020. The participant data were manually retrieved from medical records, imaging databases, and pathology reports. The study cohort was divided into a training set (n = 300), an internal test set (n = 89), and two external test sets (n = 120 and 44, respectively). The three-dimensional deep learning (3D DL), two-dimensional deep learning (2D DL), and radiomics model were developed using CT images of the primary tumor. The clinical model was constructed based on clinical and radiological features. Two fusion strategies were utilized to develop the fusion model: the feature-based DLRad_FB model and the decision-based DLRad_DB model. The discriminative ability and correlation of 3D DL, 2D DL and radiomics features were analysed comprehensively. The performances of the predictive models were evaluated based on the pathological diagnosis. Findings The 3D DL features had superior discriminative ability and lower internal redundancy compared to 2D DL and radiomics features. The DLRad_DB model achieved the highest AUC (0.89-0.90) among all the study sets, significantly outperforming the clinical model (AUC = 0.73-0.78, P = 0.0001-0.042, Delong test). Compared to the DLRad_DB model, the AUC values for the DLRad_FB, 3D DL, 2D DL, and radiomics models were 0.82-0.84 (P = 0.025-0.46), 0.86-0.89 (P = 0.75-0.97), 0.83-0.86 (P = 0.029-0.66), and 0.79-0.82 (P = 0.0072-0.10), respectively in the study sets. Additionally, the DLRad_DB model exhibited the best sensitivity (82-88%) and specificity (79-85%) in the test sets. Interpretation The decision-based fusion model DLRad_DB, which combines 3D DL, 2D DL, radiomics, and clinical data, can be utilized to predict occult LNM in LSCC. This has the potential to minimize unnecessary lymph node dissection and prophylactic radiotherapy in patients with cN0 disease.
