The impact of multidisciplinary approaches on the outcomes of olfactory neuroblastoma treated with postoperative radiotherapy

Abstract Background We investigated the outcomes of postoperative radiation therapy for olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB) and our cross‐departmental collaboration to enhance the effectiveness of cancer treatment. Methods We retrospectively evaluated 22 patients with ONB who underwent postoperative radio...

description Abstract Background We investigated the outcomes of postoperative radiation therapy for olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB) and our cross‐departmental collaboration to enhance the effectiveness of cancer treatment. Methods We retrospectively evaluated 22 patients with ONB who underwent postoperative radiotherapy after tumor resection. En bloc resection was performed; pathology specimens were prepared in coronal sections; and irradiation fields were determined after discussion with radiation oncologists, head and neck surgeons, and pathologists. Results The overall survival and local control rates were 95.5% and 100%, respectively, at a median 37‐month follow‐up. The 3‐ and 5‐year disease‐free survival (DFS) rates were 64.4% and 56.3%, respectively. Of the 22 patients, 9 (8 Kadish C and 1 Kadish B) had disease recurrence. Of the nine patients, five had positive margins and two had closed margins; cervical lymph node recurrence occurred in six, and distant metastasis with or without cervical lymph node recurrence occurred in three. DFS analysis of risk factors showed no statistically significant differences, but positive margins were a significant recurrence factor in multivariate analysis. Conclusions The local control rate of ONB treated with postoperative radiation therapy was 100%. This may be attributed to cross‐departmental cooperation between head and neck surgeons, pathologists, and radiation oncologists, which resulted in accurate matching of CT images for treatment planning with the location of the tumor and positive margins. Longer follow‐up periods are required to evaluate the effectiveness of our strategy.
