Choice of surgery in intestinal-type adenocarcinoma of the sinonasal tract: a long-term comparative study. Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol 2024; 281:2993-3004.

Abstract
PURPOSE Intestinal-type adenocarcinoma (ITAC) is a rare sinonasal malignancy. Curative treatment requires multidisciplinary approach, with surgical options consist of the endonasal endoscopic approach (EEA) and external surgery (EXTS). Here, we provide the post-operative and survival results from a single-center long-term follow-up. METHODS We report long-term follow-up of 92 ITAC cases treated between 1998 and 2018, treated with EEA (n = 40) or EXTS (n = 52). Survival estimates, post-operative complications and duration of hospitalization were compared between surgical modalities. RESULTS Baseline characteristics were similar. A higher number of T4b tumors (16%), and subsequently more tumoral invasion (39%), was present in patients undergoing EXTS compared to EEA (3% and 18%, respectively). No difference in Barnes histology subtypes was noticed. Patients undergoing EEA had a shorter post-operative hospitalization stay versus EXTS (4 versus 7 days). Use of EEA was associated to improved disease-specific survival (DSS; 11.4 versus 4.4 years; HREEA = 0.53), especially for patients with T3-4a tumors (11.4 versus 3.0 years; HREEA = 0.41). Patients with T3-4 stage, tumoral invasion, positive surgical margins, mucinous or mixed histology, and prolonged post-operative hospital stay showed poor local relapse-free, disease-free, overall, and DSS. CONCLUSIONS Long-term follow-up in locally advanced ITAC demonstrates that resection by EEA is correlated with improved DSS compared to EXTS, especially for T3-4 tumors. No significant differences between both treatment modalities was observed regarding per- and post-operative complications, although hospitalization in patients undergoing EEA was shorter than for patients treated with EXTS. These results confirm that EEA should remain the preferred surgical procedure in operable cases of sinonasal ITAC.

Tumor Budding, p53, and DNA Mismatch Repair Markers in Sinonasal Intestinal-Type Adenocarcinoma: A Retrospective Study Supports the Adverse Prognostic Impact of Tumor Budding. Cancers (Basel) 2024; 16:1895. [PMID: 38791973 PMCID: PMC11120584 DOI: 10.3390/cancers16101895] [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: 03/28/2024] [Revised: 05/02/2024] [Accepted: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Sinonasal intestinal-type adenocarcinoma (ITAC) is a very rare, closely occupational-related tumor with strong histological similarities to colorectal cancer (CRC). In the latter, tumor budding (TB) is widely recognized as a negative prognostic parameter. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic role of TB in ITAC and to correlate it with other established or emerging biomarkers of the disease, such as p53 and deficient DNA mismatch repair (MMR) system status/microsatellite instability (MSI). We retrospectively analyzed 32 consecutive specimens of patients with ITAC diagnosis treated in two institutions in Northern Italy. We reviewed surgical specimens for TB evaluation (low-intermediate/high); p53 expression and MMR proteins were evaluated via immunohistochemistry. Results were retrospectively stratified using clinical data and patients' outcomes. According to bud counts, patients were stratified into two groups: intermediate/high budding (>4 TB) and low budding (≤4 TB). Patients with high TB (>4) have an increased risk of recurrence and death compared to those with low TB, with a median survival of 13 and 54 months, respectively. On multivariate analysis, considering TB, therapy, and stage as covariates, TB emerged as an independent prognostic factor net of the stage of disease or type of therapy received. No impact of p53 status as a biomarker of prognosis was observed and no alterations regarding MMR proteins were identified. The results of the present work provide further significant evidence on the prognostic role of TB in ITAC and underline the need for larger multicenter studies to implement the use of TB in clinical practice.

Abstract
Sinonasal neoplasms are uncommon diseases, characterized by heterogeneous biological behavior, which frequently results in challenges in differential diagnosis and treatment choice. The aim of this review was to examine the pathogenesis and molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation of tumor initiation and growth, in order to better define diagnostic and therapeutic strategies as well as the prognostic impact of these rare neoplasms. A systematic review according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis criteria was conducted between September and November 2022. The authors considered the three main histological patterns of sinonasal tumors, namely Squamous Cell Carcinoma, Intestinal-Type Adenocarcinoma, and Olfactory Neuroblastoma. In total, 246 articles were eventually included in the analysis. The genetic and epigenetic changes underlying the oncogenic process were discussed, through a qualitative synthesis of the included studies. The identification of a comprehensive model of carcinogenesis for each sinonasal cancer subtype is needed, in order to pave the way toward tailored treatment approaches and improve survival for this rare and challenging group of cancers.
