Impact of anatomic site of distant metastasis on survival in salivary gland cancers
Head & Neck May 13, 2021
Turchan WT, Korpics MC, Rooney M, et al. - Researchers used the National Cancer Database to examine if anatomic site of metastasis is prognostic for survival among patients with newly diagnosed metastatic salivary gland cancers with distant metastasis to a single organ. They identified 858 patients (n = 284 bone‐only, n = 322 lung‐only, n = 252 other‐site‐only). Findings revealed a strong link between anatomic site of metastasis and survival among patients suffering from metastatic adenoid cystic carcinoma. In future investigations focused on optimizing therapy in this population, consideration should be given to anatomic site of metastasis.
