Abstrakt: Objective: Basal information of head and neck small-cell carcinoma (HNSmCC) including epidemiology, primary site, treatment, and prognosis remains sparse due to its rarity. We report here a multicenter retrospective study on the diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes of patients with HNSmCC.
Materials and Methods: This study involved 47 patients with HNSmCC from 10 participating institutions. Eight patients were excluded for whom no pathological specimens were available ( n  = 2) and for discrepant central pathological judgements ( n  = 6). The remaining 39 patients were processed for data analysis.
Results: As pretreatment examinations, computed tomography (CT) was performed for the brain ( n  = 8), neck ( n  = 39), and chest ( n  = 32), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the brain ( n  = 4) and neck ( n  = 23), positron emission tomography-CT (PET-CT) in 23 patients, bone scintigraphy in 4, neck ultrasonography in 9, and tumor markers in 25. Primary sites were oral cavity ( n  = 1), nasal cavity/paranasal sinuses ( n  = 16), nasopharynx ( n  = 2), oropharynx ( n  = 4), hypopharynx ( n  = 2), larynx ( n  = 6), salivary gland ( n  = 3), thyroid ( n  = 2), and others ( n  = 3). Stages were II/III/IV-A/IV-B/IV-C/Not determined = 3/5/16/6/5/4; stage IV comprised 69%. No patient had brain metastases. First-line treatments were divided into 3 groups: the chemoradiotherapy (CRT) group ( n  = 27), non-CRT group ( n  = 8), and best supportive care group ( n  = 4). The CRT group included concurrent CRT (CCRT) ( n  = 17), chemotherapy (Chemo) followed by radiotherapy (RT) ( n  = 5), and surgery (Surg) followed by CCRT ( n  = 5). The non-CRT group included Surg followed by RT ( n  = 2), Surg followed by Chemo ( n  = 1), RT alone ( n  = 2), and Chemo alone ( n  = 3). The 1-year/2-year overall survival (OS) of all 39 patients was 65.3/53.3%. The 1-year OS of the CRT group (77.6%) was significantly better compared with the non-CRT group (31.3%). There were no significant differences in adverse events between the CCRT group ( n  = 22) and the Chemo without concurrent RT group ( n  = 9).
Conclusion: Neck and chest CT, neck MRI, and PET-CT would be necessary and sufficient examinations in the diagnostic set up for HNSmCC. CCRT may be recommended as the first-line treatment. The 1-year/2-year OS was 65.3%/53.3%. This study would provide basal data for a proposing the diagnostic and treatment algorithms for HNSmCC.
Competing Interests: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest.
