    Abstract Background: Adenoid cystic carcinoma (AdCC) is a rare and relatively heterogenous salivary gland malignancy, for which there is debate regarding grading, and clinical prognostic factors, including the role of adjuvant radiotherapy.
    Methods: Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) data were reviewed for AdCC cases from 2000 to 2018.
    Results: A total of 1978 patients with AdCC were identified. Most patients were between 50 and 59 years of age (21.4 %), female (59.9 %), and Caucasian (76.8 %). Most tumors were localized at presentation (44.3 %), and moderately differentiated (or grade II) (43.7 %). Overall and DSS 5-year survival rates were 70.7 % (95 % CI, 69.9-78.8), and 78.6 % (95 % CI, 77.6-79.6). The best overall 5-year survival rate was observed for those treated with surgery plus radiation, 76.8 % (95 % CI, 75.5-78.1). Multivariate analysis revealed male sex, age > 65 (H.R. 2.659 (95 % CI,2.291-3.098), p < .001), grade III/IV (H.R.5.172 (95 % CI, 3.418-7.824), p < .001), nodal metastasis, distant metastasis (H.R. 2.400 (95 % CI, 2.178-2.645), p < .001), chemotherapy only, and combination therapy as negative prognostic factors, and receiving surgery plus radiation therapy (H.R.0.586 (95 % CI, 0.505-0.679), p < .001) as a positive prognostic factor. When limited just to the lungs, had much better survival than those patients with distant metastases to other sites such as the bones and liver (p < .001).
    Conclusion: This SEER study identifies grade, particularly III and IV, to be the strongest single predictor of worse survival. Patients did best when treated with surgery and postoperative radiotherapy. These results can inform future management of patients with this challenging cancer type.

    Abstract Background: Acinic cell carcinoma (AciCC) comprises 6-7% of all salivary gland neoplasms and is the second most common salivary gland malignancy in children. Like many salivary gland carcinomas, it is considered low grade but occasionally it behaves aggressively. Understanding the risk factors associated with recurrence, metastasis, and death is important to determine the counseling and management of individual patients. Older population-based studies are presumed to have been confounded by the misclassification of other neoplasms as AciCC, in particular secretory carcinoma and cystadenocarcinoma. Since diagnostic tools to reliably separate these entities have been available for over a decade, reevaluation of epidemiologic data limited to the 21st century should allow a better characterization of the clinicopathological characteristics of AciCC.
    Methods: Our study extracted data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database for the period 2000 to 2018. Cox regression model analysis was performed to identify risk factors independently affecting survival.
    Results: Data for 2226 patients with AciCC were extracted from the database. Most patients were females: 59%, and white: 80.5%, with a mean age at diagnosis of 51.2 (SD ± 18.7) years. Most cases (81%) were localized at presentation. Tumor size was less than 2 cm in 42%, 2-4 cm in 47%, and >4 cm in 11%. Low-grade tumors had 5-year survival > 90%, whereas high-grade tumors had survival < 50%. Of the patients with known lymph node status only 7.3% had nodal metastases. Distant metastases were documented in 1.1%, involving lungs 44%, bone 40%, liver 12%, and brain 4%. The most common treatment modality was surgery alone: 63.6% followed by surgery and adjuvant radiation: 33%. A few received chemotherapy (1.8%) or multimodality therapy (1.2%). The 5-year overall survival rate was 90.6% (95%CI 89.1-91.9), and disease-specific survival was 94.6% (95%CI 93.3-95.6). Multivariable cox regression analysis showed that undifferentiated (HR = 8.3) and poorly differentiated tumor grade (HR = 6.4), and metastasis (HR = 5.3) were the worst independent prognostic factors. Other poor risk factors included age > 50 (HR = 3.5) and tumor size > 4 cm (HR = 2.5).
    Conclusions: In the US, AciCC is more common in middle age white females, and most tumors are less than 4 cm and localized at diagnosis. The most relevant negative prognostic factor was high tumor grade which was associated with higher hazard ratios for death than all other variables, including regional or distant metastases at presentation.

    Abstract Background: Colorectal adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC) is a rare subtype of colorectal carcinoma. This study presents findings from a large database query to highlight the demographic, clinical, and pathological factors, prognosis, and survival of colorectal ASC.
    Methods: The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database was used to identify patients with colorectal ASC diagnosed between 2000 and 2020 and assess factors associated with overall survival (OS) and cause-specific survival (CSS).
    Results: Among 284 identified cases, the median age of diagnosis was 64 years. The majority of patients were White (69.0%), with income ≤ $70,000 ( 62.3%), and lived in metropolitan areas (85.6%). Regarding tumor characteristics, the majority of tumors were poorly differentiated (49.6%), regional stage (39.8%), size of > 4.0 cm ( 41.5%), and had a negative lymph node status (47.2%). Primary sites were the rectum (35.2%) and colon ( 64.8%). In patients with primary site to the rectum, the majority of treatment modality was multimodal therapy (40.0%). The main treatment modality for the primary site to the colon was surgery only (46.2%), followed by surgery + chemotherapy (34.2%). The overall 5-year survival was 31.3 (95% C.I. 28.4-34.2) and the 5-year cause-specific survival (CSS) was 40.1% (95% C.I. 36.9-43.3). Multivariate analysis showed age ≥ 60 years, regional stage, and distant stage were negative prognostic factors. An income of > $70,000, multimodal therapy, and surgery with chemotherapy were positive prognostic factors.
    Conclusion: Colorectal adenosquamous carcinomas are more common in the non-Hispanic White populations and appear more frequently later in life (based on the median age of diagnosis at 64). Factors that contributed to a worse prognosis were an age of diagnosis ≥ 60 years, regional stage, and distant stage.

    Abstract Background: Chordoma is a rare malignant tumor of notochordal origin that may appear anywhere in the axial skeleton from the skull base to the sacrum. This study presents findings from a large database query to highlight the demographic, clinical, and pathological factors, prognosis, and survival of chordomas.
    Methods: The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) data based was used to identify patients with a "chordoma" diagnosis from 200 to 2018.
    Results: In a total of 1600 cases, the mean age at diagnosis was 54.47 years (standard deviation, SD ± 19.62 years). Most cases were male (57.1%) and white (84.5%). Tumor size was found to be > 4 cm in 26% of cases. Histologically, 33% with known features had well-differentiated Grade I tumors, and 50.2% of the tumors were localized. Metastasis at the time of to the bone, liver, and lung was observed at a rate of 0.5%, 0.1%, and 0.7%, respectively. The most common treatment received was surgical resection (41.3%). The overall 5-year overall survival observed was 39% (confidence interval, CI 95% 37-41; p = 0.05) with patients who received surgery having a 5-year survival rate of 43% (CI 95% 40-46; p = 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed independent factors that contributed to worse prognosis chemotherapy only as a treatment modality and no surgery as a treatment modality.
    Conclusion: Chordomas are more common in white males and appear between the 5th and 6th decades of life. Factors that contributed to a worse prognosis were Asian, Pacific Islander, American Indian, or Alaska Native races.

    Abstract Background: Sarcomatoid renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is defined by the presence of any amount of sarcomatoid components admixed with other RCC histologic subtypes. Our investigation utilizes a large, diverse set of sarcomatoid RCC patients to summarize clinical, demographic, and pathological factors along with demographic disparities that may affect the prognosis and survival of sarcomatoid RCC patients.
    Methods: The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database was employed to compile data from 2000 to 2018 from 2695 patients diagnosed with sarcomatoid RCC.
    Results: The mean age for sarcomatoid RCC diagnosis is 62.8 years. Males (68.2%) and White patients (82.6%) were more likely to be diagnosed with sarcomatoid RCC. Among the 64.4% of tumors with known size, 35.4% were less than 7 cm, 27.6% were 7.1 to 10 cm, and 36.4% were larger than 10 cm. Among the 95.8% of patients with known stage, 15.3% were localized, 28.9% were regionalized, and 55.8% were found in distant sites. Among the 44.2% of cases with known metastases site, lung was found to be the most common metastatic site.. Surgery was the most common treatment (70.9%). While the overall 5-year survival was 18.1%, it was 27.1% among patients who underwent surgery. Independent risk factors for mortality include age > 60 years, distant stage, and tumor size > 10 cm, per our multivariate analysis.
    Conclusion: Sarcomatoid RCC most commonly affects White males in their seventh decade. Increased age, distant stage, and size > 10 cm tumor size have associations with unfavorable prognosis. Surgery is associated with better survival outcomes in localized disease and multimodal therapy (surgery with adjuvant chemoradiation was associated with better survival.).
