Survival outcomes for advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck
Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology May 23, 2019
Sullivan CB, et al. - In this investigation involving 43 patients, researchers described results in one tertiary academic medical center for T3 and T4 cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma of the head or neck being treated with surgical resection by analyzing a retrospective cohort. Survival results were examined using Kaplan-Meier analysis, and Cox proportional hazard model was used to complete multivariate analysis. Investigators found that anatomical subsites tended to have worse overall survival, particularly scalp/neck tumors. They observed that a worse prognosis positive seemed to be indicated by final margins; overall survival and recurrence in patients with radical surgical resection were not significantly different from soft tissue resection.
