[Comparison of 5-year survival rate and analysis of prognostic factors influencing the prognosis of adenoid cystic carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma of the maxillary sinus: based on the SEER database].

Objective:To analyze the difference in 5-year survival between maxillary sinus adenoidal cystic carcinoma（maxillary sinus adenoid cystic carcinoma, MSACC） and squamous cell carcinoma（maxillary sinus squamous cell carcinoma, MSSCC） using the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End. Results:database（SEER） and to explore the factors associated with the prognosis of the two tumors. Methods:The data of 161 patients with MSACC and 929 patients with MSSCC were collected from SEER database, and the 5-year overall survival rate（OS） and tumor specific survival rate（CSS） were compared between the two groups before and after propensity score matching. The forest map of multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression model was established to analyze the prognostic factors affecting the survival rate of patients with MSACC and MSSCC. Results:There were statistical differences in 5-year OS and CSS between MSACC and MSSCC before and after propensity score matching（P<0.001）. Multivariate regression analysis showed that age, side of the disease, lymph node metastasis, operation and radiotherapy were the influencing factors of OS in MSACC, while age and operation were the influencing factors of CSS. Age, race, T grade, lymph node metastasis, systemic metastasis, surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are the influencing factors of OS of MSSCC. Age, T grade, lymph node metastasis, systemic metastasis, surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are the influencing factors of CSS. Conclusion:The 5-year survival rate of MSACC is higher than that of MSSCC. Surgery plays a positive role in the prognosis of the two kinds of tumors. The analysis results can provide some reference for their survival expectations and treatment choices.
