Oncologic Outcomes in Patients with Localized, Primary Head and Neck Synovial Sarcoma.

ABSTRACT: Background: this study aims to evaluate the survival outcomes of patients suffering from head and neck synovial sarcoma (HNSS), especially in relation to patients with a localized disease at diagnosis. Methods: this retrospective chart review includes 57 patients diagnosed with primary HNSS between 1981 and 2020 who presented with a localized disease at diagnosis. Overall survival (OS) from diagnosis, local recurrence-free survival (LRFS), and metastasis-free survival (MFS) from the end of the primary tumor treatment are estimated. The Kaplan-Meier method, the log-rank test, and the Cox proportional hazards regression are used. Results: the 5-year OS, LRFS, and MFS are estimated at 80.4% (95% CI: 66.6%, 88.9%), 67.7% (95% CI: 50.0%, 80.4%), and 50.6% (95% CI: 34.4%, 64
