Prognostic Factors for Orbital Exenteration, Local Recurrence, Metastasis, and Death From Disease in Conjunctival Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Information regarding risk of metastasis and disease-related death (DD) from conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is relatively scarce. We explored prognostic factors for orbital exenteration, local recurrence, nodal metastasis, and DD in patients with conjunctival SCC.

Design

Retrospective cross-sectional study.

Methods

All consecutive patients with conjunctival SCC treated by the senior author at MD Anderson Cancer Center during1999-2018 were included. Survival curves were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and survival differences were assessed using 2-sided log-rank tests.

Results

The study included 44 patients (24 men, 20 women); median age was 64 years (range, 40-90). T categories at presentation were as follows: Tis, 20 patients; T2,
