Abstract

Salivary squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) represent a unique disease entity because many are thought to represent metastases from primary cutaneous malignancies. Nevertheless, they represent a significant proportion of parotid gland cancers and have a notably poor prognosis. Recently, there has been controversy regarding the utility of adjuvant chemotherapy in the treatment of these malignancies, with most studies concluding that there is no survival benefit. We aim to determine the outcomes associated with the use of adjuvant radiotherapy and chemoradiotherapy in the treatment of early- and late-stage salivary SCC. A retrospective study of 2,285 of surgically resected adult salivary SCC diagnosed from 2004 to 2014 in the National Cancer Database was conducted. Patients were divided into early- (I/II) and late-stage (III/IV) groups. Demographic, facility, tumor, and survival variables were included in the analyses. Multivariate Cox survival regressions, propensity-score matched analyses, and univariate Kaplan-Meier analyses were conducted. The use of adjuvant chemoradiotherapy for late-stage patients was associated with improved survival compared to the use of adjuvant radiotherapy alone (hazard ratio [HR] 0.774, P = 0.026).
