Abstract
- Abstract Background To evaluate the prognosis of Chinese patients with lacrimal gland adenoid cystic carcinoma treated with eye-sparing surgery and adjuvant multimodal therapy. Methods The study included 24 consecutive patients with lacrimal gland adenoid cystic carcinoma treated at the Ninth People’s Hospital of Shanghai from May 2008 to September 2017. All patients underwent eye-sparing surgical tumor resection and 20 (83.3%) of the 24 patients in the cohort received postoperative RT. Eight (41.7%) patients in the cohort received chemotherapy. Each patient’s medical records were reviewed. Results The study included 13 male and 11 female patients. The median follow-up time after surgery was 33.5 months. Fifteen (62.5%) patients experienced local recurrence. The 1-, 3-, and 5-year recurrence rates were 27.9, 60.0, and 80.0%, respectively. Eleven (45.8%) patients developed metastasis. The 1-, 3-, and 5-year metastasis rates were 8.7, 48.5, and 66.9%, respectively. Eight (33.3%) patients died of lacrimal gland adenoid cystic carcinoma, with a median survival duration of 34.0 months. The 1-, 3-, and 5-year tumor-related mortality was 4.5, 28.1, and 58.0%, respectively. More advanced T stage (≥ T3a) was a risk factor for local recurrence (hazard ratio [HR]: 5.374, P = 0.02), distant metastasis (HR: 8.585, P
