RESUMO

Introduction: The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical, histological and immunohistochemical prognostic factors of a large series of adenoid cystic carcinoma treated in a single institution, using univariate and multivariate survival analyses. Methods: All cases of head and neck ACC treated between 1955 and 1997, at the Department of the Head and Neck Surgery and Otorhinolaryngology, Hospital do Cancer A. C. Camargo, Sao Paulo, were selected for the study. The clinical data were obtained from the medical records and the histopathological slides reviewed. Immunohistochemical reactions against p53 protein, proliferation cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), Ki-67, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), c-erbB-2 and bcl-2 were performed using the streptavidin-biotin-peroxidase method. Results: Of 129 cases, seventy-one were male (55%) and 58 female (45%), with mean age of 51.5 years (10-96 years). The palate and parotid gland were the most common sites. TNM stage revealed 96 (74.4%) clinical stages III + IV tumors, and the most common histological type was the cribriform type (54.2%), followed by tubular (25.2%) and solid type (20.6%). Surgery was the main treatment modality (75,9%) and 42,7% of the patients were submitted to postoperative radiotherapy. The overall survival rates at 5 and 10 years were 56.5% and 32.5% respectively, and the free disease survival rates were 42.7% and 29.2% for the same periods. Univariate survival analysis revealed that age older than 45 years (p=0.04), period of complaints inferior to 18 months (p=0.007), presence of paresthesia (p=0.04), T stage (p=0.01), N stage (p=0.04), M stage (p<0.001), clinical stage (p=0.003), solid histological type (p<0.001), presence of residual tumor (p<0.001) and increased expression of p53 (p=0.08) correlated with a poor prognosis. In the multivariate survival analyses, clinical stage, solid histological subtype and increased expression of p53 were independent significant prognostic factors. Conclusions: According to our findings, clinical stage, solid growth pattern and expression of p53 were the most important prognostic factors in patients with ACC
