Retrospective Investigation of the prognostic relevance of clinicopathologic parameters in patients with salivary duct carcinoma (SDC).An experienced pathologist reviewed 67 patients with de novo SDC or SDC ex pleomorphic adenoma. Paraffin-embedded tumor samples were examined by immunohistochemistry for expression of HER2/neu, androgen (AR), progesterone (PR), estrogen (ER), epidermal growth factor (EGFR) and programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1-R) receptor. In 45 patients who had cM0 and follow-up data available, survival rates were calculated (Kaplan-Meier method) and prognostic variables were analyzed (univariate analysis: log-rank test; multivariate analysis: Cox-regression analysis).Overexpression of HER2/neu, AR, ER, PR, EGFR, PD-L1-R was found in 25.4%, 84%, 0%, 0%, 17.9%, 16.4% of patients. Overall (OS), disease-free (DFS), distant-metastases-free survival (DMFS) and locoregional control (LRC) were 92.3/72.4/56.9%, 78.2/58.1/58.1%, 85.4/65.2/65.2% and 89.7/81.9/81.9% after 1/3/5 years (medial follow-up 26 months). In univariate analysis a positive resection margin (p = 0.008) and no postoperative radiotherapy (p = 0.001) predict an increased locoregional recurrence rate. In multivariate analysis only postoperative radiotherapy is statistically significant (p = 0.004). Presence of lymph node metastases, a lymph node density >4 and HER2/neu overexpression predict decreased DFS and DMFS. In multivariate HER2/neu overexpression was the only significant predictor for reduced DFS (p = 0.04) and DMFS (p = 0.02).Postoperative radiotherapy is the only significant predictor for LRC. HER2/neu receptor expression is an independent prognostic factor for decreased DFS and DMFS in patients with SDC. In addition to radio(chemo)therapy, intensified first-line treatment regimens should also be evaluated in the future.
