Palliative care in metastatic head and neck cancer

Abstract: Background Due to inherent impact on quality of life, metastatic head and neck cancer patients are well‐suited to benefit from palliative care (PC). Our objective was to examine factors that shape PC utilization and implications for overall survival in stage IVc head and neck cancer patients. Methods A retrospective study of patients with stage IVc head and neck cancer in the National Cancer Database from 2004 and 2015 was conducted. Results 7794 cases met inclusion criteria, of which 19.3% received PC. PC use… Show more

“…National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) recommendations defer surgical resection of cT4b disease to physician discretion because of insufficient prospective evidence, poor prognosis, and difficulty in safely achieving negative margins 21,22 . Most patients with cT4b MSGC therefore undergo definitive CRT, experimental hormonal or immunotherapies, or palliative care 23‐31 . However, retrospective studies of cT4b head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) suggest that surgical resection may be undergone safely and with acceptable morbidity in some cT4b tumors which are closer to cT4a in extent and outcome 22,32‐40 .…”

[23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31] However, retrospective studies of cT4b head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) suggest that surgical resection may be undergone safely and with acceptable morbidity in some cT4b tumors which are closer to cT4a in extent and outcome. 22,[32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40] Considering that MSGC is less sensitive to chemotherapy than HNSCC, exploring the utility of surgical resection in cT4b MSGC could benefit certain patients.…”

“…In a nationwide sample from the National Cancer Database, United States of patients with HNC, the authors found increases in the use of palliative care services in recent years however it was not consistent throughout each region. 4 A scoping literature review suggests that only 18% to 21% of all people with HNC received palliative management following diagnosis. 5 In India, less than 2% of those needing palliative care receive it, with no data specific to HNC patients.…”

“…O Instituto Nacional de Câncer (INCA)23 estimou para 2020 uma proporção de cerca de 4:1 óbitos por neoplasias de laringe em homens e de cerca de 87% de óbitos por neoplasia de boca em homens em relação às mulheres. Civantos et al24 , em 2021, não houve diferença entre sexo na análise dos pacientes encaminhados para cuidados paliativos, nos EUA. No entanto, na pesquisa de Hoerger et al25 , de 2017, que avaliou se haveria melhor aceitação do cuidado paliativo precoce para quem recebe uma orientação prévia formal do seu conceito, também nos EUA, as mulheres tiveram maior preferência por cuidados paliativos que homens, mesmo antes de terem a informação detalhada a respeito dele, o que corrobora os achados deste estudo, no qual os homens foram menos encaminhados para o ambulatório de cuidados paliativos que as mulheres.entre os seguintes sítios: as neoplasias de boca (lábio e cavidade oral), de nasofaringe, de outras localidades de faringe e laringe, encontrou-se que a mortalidade foi maior nos tumores de laringe, seguidos por outras localidades da faringe, boca e nasofaringe.…”

“…e o óbito, com uma diferença de 4,7 meses, o que poderia justificar o maior número de passagens no pronto-socorro durante a história da doença, dando a esses indivíduos maior tempo para serem atendidos no Instituto, bem como no pronto-socorro. Procedeu-se à nova Civantos et al24 , em 2021, fizeram uma análise retrospectiva de sobrevida com base em uma amostra que comparou pacientes com neoplasia avançada de cabeça e pescoço que receberam tratamento paliativo intervencionista (cirurgia, quimioterapia ou radioterapia paliativas) contra o grupo que recebeu apenas suporte paliativo para tratamento sintomático.Entre os entraves encontrados pelo desenho do estudo, estão a não alocação aleatória dos grupos diante da intervenção estudada, com possíveis vieses de seleção ocorridos que podem ser fatores de confusão. Além disso, há a incapacidade de avaliar outras variáveis como qualidade de vida e escalas de prognóstico e performance clínica, como ECOG e Karnofsky (KPS), por exemplo, o que limita a realização de uma análise multivariada.…”
