Clinical Investigation
Outcomes and Prognostic Variables in Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma of the Head and Neck: A Recent Experience
Results: Recurrent disease developed in 59%of patients, despite the addition of postoperative radiation therapy in 83%of patients. Tumor site was the single most important factor for the development of locally recurrent disease and was correlated with primary tumor stage and resection margins. Local recurrence rates were decreased (P = .07) in patients with negative surgical margins who were irradiated.
Conclusions: Larger perspective randomized trials are necessary to evaluate the efficacy of postoperative radiation, and new treatments need to be investigated to improve local control rates for ACC of the head and neck.
