Summary

To investigate the relationship between surgical margins and outcomes across different tumor stages, in order to provide evidence and guidance for refining stage-specific surgical approaches.

Detailed description

Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the head and neck (HNACC) presents unique surgical challenges due to its propensity for perineural spread and proximity to critical craniofacial structures. While surgical resection remains the cornerstone of treatment, determining the optimal extent of resection to balance oncologic control and functional preservation requires further investigation. The investigator aimed to investigate the relationship between surgical margins and outcomes across different tumor stages, in order to provide evidence and guidance for refining stage-specific surgical approaches.
