Impact of Treatment Package Time on Survival in Patients with Head and Neck Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma
Delays in treatment initiation and in the interval from surgery to radiation did not result in clinically significant differences in survival in this analysis, while prolonged duration of radiation therapy was significantly associated with worse survival. These findings are hypothesis-generating and suggest that treatment delays for ACC may have different effects on oncologic outcomes than those for HNSCC; however, prospective data is paramount to verify these results before strong conclusions can be made.
