| Popis: | Sixty-six patients (22%) had HNMM and 226 (78%) HNCM and the higher prevalence was seen in females with a similar distribution amongst the two diagnoses (p=0.8). Symptoms were present in all patients with HNCM and in only 15% of patients with HNMM (p=0.000). Lymph node involvement at diagnosis was present in 51% of HNMM vs. 33% of HNCM (p=0.007) and were bilateral in 44% of HNMM while in HNCM they were only ipsilateral (p=0.000). Metastatic disease at diagnosis was similar in both groups (p=0.9). Relapses were more frequent in the HNMM group in ~70% of the cases compared with 23% in HNCM group (p=0.000). When comparing HNCM vs. HNMM, Overall Survival is similar, without statistical difference. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. |
