This study aims to provide an updated systematic review on the clinicopathological features, treatment modalities and survival outcomes on SMARCB1-deficient sinonasal carcinoma.
Methods
Five databases were searched: PubMed, Cochrane, Embase, Web of Science and Scopus. Extracted information include demographic data, clinicopathological characteristics and survival outcomes.
Results
A total of 70 studies were included making up a total of 372 patients. Univariable and multivariable analysis performed for prognostic factors of SDSC showed that N+ disease was a statistically significant poor prognostic factor for overall survival, while surgical treatment was a favourable prognostic factor. Treatment with surgery combined with chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy conferred significantly better prognosis compared to chemotherapy or radiotherapy alone.
Conclusion
Our study suggests that N+ disease and isolated treatment with radiotherapy or chemotherapy alone are significant poor prognostic factors for SMARCB1-deficient sinonasal carcinoma, while patients who undergo surgical treatment have significantly better prognosis.
