Epidemiologic, prognostic, and treatment factors in sinonasal diffuse large B ‐cell lymphoma

Objectives

To further characterize the epidemiology, prognostic disease‐specific factors, and treatment outcomes—including newly available chemotherapy data—for patients with sinonasal diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (DLBCL).

Methods

The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results registry was queried from 1973 to 2015 for patients with DLBCL of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. Demographic and disease parameters were collected. Prognostic disease‐specific survival and overall survival factors were evaluated with univariate Kaplan‐Meier analysis. Significant variables were analyzed with multivariate Cox regression analysis.

Results

A total of 1,273 cases of DLBCL of the sinonasal tract were identified. Significant differences in age of diagnosis between men (65.3) and women (71.1) existed (P < .01). Most common primary sites of DLBCL were maxillary sinus (36.1%) and nasal cavity (34.5%), with nasal cavity more common among Asian/Pacific Islands (43.4%) and maxillary sinus more common for Caucasians (36.3%) and African Americans (42.1%). Overall survival was 70% at 2 years, 54% at 5 years, and 38% at 10 years. Disease‐specific survival was 81%, 73%, and 67%, respectively. Chemotherapy (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.551; P < .001) and radiation therapy (HR: 0.818; P = .012) were associated with improved prognosis, whereas higher Ann Arbor stage worsened prognosis (HR: 1.21; P < .001). Surgical intervention did not significantly impact survival.

Conclusion

This is the first study to include chemoradiation therapy in population‐based analysis of sinonasal DLBCL. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy use significantly improve survival in these patients, whereas Ann Arbor staging is significantly associated with poorer outcomes. The mainstay of treatment for DLBCL should remain combination chemoradiation.
