fa Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the head and neck: Clinicopathologic analysis of 218 cases in a Chinese population پاتولوزی دهان، فک و صورت Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology پژوهشي Research <p> <strong>Objective</strong></p><p>  The aim of this study was to analyze the clinicopathologic characteristics and prognostic factors of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the head and neck (ACCHN). Study Design This was a retrospective study of 218 patients with ACCHN. </p><p> <strong>Results</strong></p><p>  The cohort included 110 men and 108 women the parotid and the palate were the most common site of involvement. Of 203 patients with follow-up information (range 2-132 months), 57 had died of the tumor. Distant metastasis (DM) and local recurrence (LR) were documented in 83 (40.9%) and 34 (16.7%) patients, respectively. Cox regression analysis indicated that a solid pattern was a marker for LR and that positive margins and older age were risk factors for DM. Histologic pattern, T stage, N stage, LR, DM, and patient age contributed to the prediction of disease-specific survival. </p><p> <strong>Conclusions</strong></p><p>  A solid pattern, metastasis, LR, and older age are the most important factors for predicting poor prognosis in Chinese patients with ACCHN. </p><hr><p></p><p> <strong>Source: </strong>Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, Oral Radiology </p><p> <a href="http://www.oooojournal.net/article/S2212-4403(12)01730-0/abstract" target="_blank"><font color="#0000ff">Full Text</font></a></p> 0 0 http://idai.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-32-1559&slc_lang=fa&sid=1 Chun-Ye Zhang 10031947532846007207 10031947532846007207 No Department of Oral Pathology, 9th People's Hospital, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai Key Laboratory of Stomatology, Shanghai, China Rong-Hui Xia 10031947532846007208 10031947532846007208 No Department of Oral Pathology, 9th People's Hospital, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai Key Laboratory of Stomatology, Shanghai, China Jing Han 10031947532846007209 10031947532846007209 No Department of Oral Pathology, 9th People's Hospital, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai Key Laboratory of Stomatology, Shanghai, China Bing-Shun Wang 10031947532846007210 10031947532846007210 No Department of Biostatistics, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, China Wei-Dong Tian 10031947532846007211 10031947532846007211 No State Key Laboratory of Genetic Engineering, Institute of Biostatistics, School of Life Sciences, Fudan University, Shanghai, China Lai-Ping Zhong 10031947532846007212 10031947532846007212 No Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 9th People's Hospital, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai Key Laboratory of Stomatology, Shanghai, China Zhen Tian 10031947532846007213 10031947532846007213 No Department of Oral Pathology, 9th People's Hospital, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai Key Laboratory of Stomatology, Shanghai, China Li-Zhen Wang 10031947532846007214 10031947532846007214 No Department of Oral Pathology, 9th People's Hospital, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai Key Laboratory of Stomatology, Shanghai, China Yu-Hua Hu 10031947532846007215 10031947532846007215 No Department of Oral Pathology, 9th People's Hospital, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai Key Laboratory of Stomatology, Shanghai, China Jiang Li 10031947532846007216 10031947532846007216 Yes Department of Oral Pathology, 9th People's Hospital, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai Key Laboratory of Stomatology, Shanghai, China
