Abstract

Primary fibrosarcoma of the sinonasal region is an infrequently occurring malignant neoplasm. Fibrosarcomas are most commonly found in the extremities, with only 1% of fibrosarcomas reported in the head and neck region. This study analyzes the demographic, clinicopathologic, and survival characteristics of sinonasal fibrosarcoma (SNFS).

Improved survival with radiation therapy in high-grade soft tissue sarcomas of the extremities: a SEER analysis.

Matthew Koshy, Shayna E Rich, Majid Mohiuddin (2010)

The benefit of radiation therapy in extremity soft tissue sarcomas remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of radiation therapy on overall survival among patients with primary soft tissue sarcomas of the extremity who underwent limb-sparing surgery. A retrospective study from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database that included data from January 1, 1988, to December 31, 2005. A total of 6,960 patients constituted the study population. Overall survival curves were constructed using the Kaplan-Meir method and for patients with low- and high-grade tumors. Hazard ratios were calculated based on multivariable Cox proportional hazards models. Of the cohort, 47% received radiation therapy. There was no significant difference in overall survival among patients with low-grade tumors by radiation therapy. In high-grade tumors, the 3-year overall survival was 73% in patients who received radiation therapy vs. 63% for those who did not receive radiation therapy (p < 0.001). On multivariate analysis, patients with high-grade tumors who received radiation therapy had an improved overall survival (hazard ratio 0.67, 95% confidence interval 0.57-0.79). In patients receiving radiation therapy, 13.5% received it in a neoadjuvant setting. The incidence of patients receiving neoadjuvant radiation did not change significantly between 1988 and 2005. To our knowledge, this is the largest population-based study reported in patients undergoing limb-sparing surgery for soft tissue sarcomas of the extremities. It reports that radiation was associated with improved survival in patients with high-grade tumors.

Demographic trends and disease-specific survival in salivary acinic cell carcinoma: an analysis of 1129 cases.

Neal R Patel, Saurin Sanghvi, Mohemmed N Khan … (2014)

Acinic cell carcinoma (AciCC) is a rare salivary gland malignancy that most commonly arises in the parotid gland. Characteristics of AciCC are slow growth and a long clinical course. As a rare tumor, population-based studies are limited. We analyzed the incidence and survival for AciCC using a national population-based database.
