Extended radical parotidectomy combined with radiotherapy offers the best outcomes for advanced malignant parotid gland tumors. This approach improves both quality of life and life expectancy for patients.

Area of Science:

  • Otorhinolaryngology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Head and Neck Cancer

Background:

  • Malignant tumors of the parotid gland are rare but serious conditions.
  • Advanced-stage parotid neoplasms require aggressive treatment strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of extended radical parotidectomy and adjuvant radiotherapy for advanced malignant parotid gland neoplasms.
  • To analyze oncological outcomes and survival rates in patients treated with this combined approach.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 363 patients with parotid swelling treated between 1974 and 2003.
  • Detailed review of 19 patients who underwent extended radical parotidectomy for malignant parotid neoplasms.
  • Assessment of clinical presentation, surgical procedures, histopathology, complications, and oncological results.

Main Results:

  • Extended radical parotidectomy involves en bloc resection of the parotid gland and adjacent infiltrated structures, often with facial nerve sacrifice.
  • Adjuvant radiotherapy is a necessary component of the treatment regimen.
  • The 10-year survival rate in this series was approximately 58%, influenced by tumor histology.

Conclusions:

  • Extended radical parotidectomy combined with post-operative radiotherapy is the optimal therapeutic strategy for advanced malignant parotid gland neoplasms.
  • This combined approach yields favorable results regarding both quality of life and life expectancy.
