Esthesioneuroblastoma, modified Kadish staging systemAbstract
Objective: The aim of this study is to analyze clinicopathological findings, treatment and outcomes of esthesioneuroblastoma.
Material and methods: We performed a retrospective review of 18 consecutive patients with ENB diagnosis treated in a cancer reference center between 1999 and 2014.
Results: The mean age was 56 years old and 61% patients were female. According to the modified Kadish staging system, there were 5 stage B patients, 12 stage C patients and 1 stage D patient. Twelve patients were initially treated with surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy, 2 with surgery and adjuvant chemoradiotherapy, 3 with radiotherapy alone (1 of them palliative) and 1 with chemotherapy alone (palliative). The Kaplan Meier analysis estimated a survival of 76% at two years follow-up and 59% at five years follow-up.
Conclusions: In this study, patients with less advanced Kadish stage or who underwent surgery had a greater disease-free survival.
