Prognostic Factors and Multidisciplinary Postoperative Chemoradiotherapy for Clinical T4a Tongue Cancer.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:The prognosis of patients with locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the tongue is poor. Postoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT) improves locoregional control and survival in high-risk patients. We investigated the prognostic factors for clinical T4a tongue SCC, and elucidated whether postoperative CRT has a benefit for patients with poor prognosis in terms of survival. METHODS:We performed a retrospective analysis of 61 patients with stage T4a SCC of the tongue who underwent primary resection and neck dissection. RESULTS:The median follow-up was 53.8 months. Multivariate analysis revealed a 4.26× relative risk of death for patients with the involvement of ≥5 regional lymph nodes (pN ≥5) compared with those with pN 0-4 (p = 0.002). In Kaplan-Meier analysis, patients with pN ≥5 who received CRT had longer overall survival rates than those who did not (hazard ratio = 0.31; p = 0.041). CONCLUSIONS:pN ≥5 is the most powerful prognostic factor for clinical T4a SCC of the tongue. Postoperative CRT is recommended in patients with pN ≥5.
