ABSTRACT
Adenoid cystic carcinoma (AdCC) of salivary gland grows relatively slowly, but occasionally develops distant metastasis. Although cervical lymph node metastasis (LNM) has been reported as a strong prognostic factor, most of AdCC do not have LNM. In this study, we investigated the prognostic factors to predict disease free survival (DFS), distant metastasis free survival (DMFS), and overall survival (OS) for 175 patients surgically treated for AdCC without LNM, and developed prognostic score (PS) determined as number of positive prognostic factors. The following emerged as significant prognostic factors positive surgical margin in DFS, pT3/4 and positive surgical margin in DMFS, and positive surgical margin and high-histological grade in OS. 10-year DFS rates were 56.4% in PS0, and 19.1% in PS1 (p < 0.0001). 10-year DMFS rates were 86.3% in PS0, 56.4% in PS1, and 30.7% in PS2 (p < 0.0001). 10-year OS rates were 100% in PS0, 73.3% in PS1, and 38.8% in PS2 (p < 0.0001).
