Overview

Retrospective cohort study reveals tumor grade and local invasion dictate survival in sinonasal salivary gland cancer, highlighting the necessity of combined surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy.

Key Points

To assess the clinical behavior, prognostic determinants, and management strategies for malignant minor salivary gland tumors arising in the sinonasal tract.
Retrospective review of 122 patients with minor salivary gland tumors of the nose and paranasal sinuses, analyzing a single-institution treatment cohort of 66 patients.
Evaluation of primary tumor histology, microscopic tumor grade, stage at presentation, surgical resection approach, and adjuvant radiation therapy.
Adenoid cystic carcinoma and adenocarcinoma predominated, with 80% of treated patients presenting with locally advanced disease (T3 and T4).
Pathologic tumor grade, anatomic extent, and degree of invasion directly influenced patient prognosis.
Adjuvant radiation therapy demonstrated clinical utility in multimodality protocols and exhibited efficacy as a standalone treatment in selected cases.
