1 Cutaneous Carcinomas Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery Most common malignancy in world Ivan El-Sayed, MD, FACS Director Center for Minimally Invasive Skull Base Surgery. Head and Neck Nanomedicine Laboratory. Advanced Skin Cancer of the Head and Neck Update changes in trends, staging, and management of SCC/BCC 2 Background Cutaneous Cancer Cutaneous Carcinoma 82 Types of skin cancer Melanoma Nonmelanoma skin ca (NMSC) Merkel cell Epidermal layer (SCC and BCC) Deeper layers (dermis and adnexal structures) Range of Prognosis Highly aggressive, metastatic (Merkel Cell) Locally destructive (BCCA) 3.5 million BCC/SCC new cases/ year in US in about 2 million patients. Most are BCC More new cases than breast, prostate, lung, colon combined About 3,000 deaths per year Incidence increasing for years Ozone depletion Lifestyle Detection? 1

2 Nonmelanoma Skin Cancer Etiology BCCA and SCCA Developing 1 Skin Cancer increases risk of developing another cancer Increases risk second skin cancer 35% at 3 yrs 50% at 5 yrs UVB (Sunlight) Chemical exposure hydrocarbons, pesticides Ionizing radiation Tobacco Arsenic (in well water) Chronic Skin conditions Impaired Cell Immunity Genetic Diseases HPV 5 6 Two mechanisms of action of UV Carcinogenesis? Impaired Immunity DNA mutations Induced immunosuppression Disease Related Lymphoma Leukemia Autoimmune Epidermodysplasia verruciform UVB( nm) is 10,000 time more mutagenic than UVA( nm) Favors generation of suppressor over helper immune pathways Mostly T cell depletion (CD4+ T cells) Associated with skin cancer 8 2

3 Impaired Immunity Organ Transplant Drug Related Cyclosporin, azathioprin, tacrolimus Varies with transplant type Incidence increases with time after transplant 10% at 10 years 40% at 20 years Why vary with transplant type? Heart transplant requires more immunosuppression Renal transplant performed in older patients Less time to develop skin ca SCC is predominant cancer Highly aggressive tumors 9 10 Organ Transplant Increased risk of NMSC Onset of cancer at a younger age More aggressive tumors with increased morbidity and mortality Some patients develop multiple tumors Increased risk of developing NMSC Population-based Standard Incidence Ratios of Skin Cancer in Transplant Patients Skin Cancer SCC SCC of lip BCC Melanoma Kaposi s Sarcoma Scandinavian population-based registries Jensen JAAD 1999;40:17 Hartevelt Transplantation 1990;49:506; Lindelof BJD 2000;143;513 Increased Incidence in Transplant Patients 65 to 250 fold 20 fold 10 fold 1.6 to 3.4 fold 84 fold 3

4 More aggressive tumors with increased morbidity and mortality Tumors are more aggressive than in non-transplant patients Cincinnati Transplant Tumor Registry 5.2% of individuals with skin cancer died of their tumors More died from SCC than melanoma Risk Factors for Skin Cancer with Organ Transplant Increased General Population Increasing age Fair skin, light hair, light eyes Sun exposure Transplant Population History of previous skin cancer 50% risk of 2nd cancer >70% risk of 2nd skin cancer Precursors lesions? SCCA Actinic Keratosis Bowen s Disease (CIS) BCCA No precursors BCCA Types Nodular Ulcerative most common Superficial Least aggressive Pigmented Morhpeaform (sclerosing) aggressive insidious growth Basosquamous-features of SCCA Image Wikipedia Bowen s Disease

5 High Risk Features for SCCA High Risk Lesions: Aggressive Biologic Behavior SCCA Histology Thickness in mm Depth in Clark s level Perineural involvement Size >2cm Etiology Immune status Anatomic site Current Opinion in Otolaryngology & Head & Neck Surgery: April Volume 19 - Issue 2 - p Anatomic Site Factors Associated with Metastases Higher Rate Recurrence and Lymphatic Met Ear Lip Direct invasion parotid (>50% metastatic) High Rate Recurrence Nasolabial crease Periorbital Preauricular The H Zone of the face along embryonic fusion planes SCC arising in scar, ulcer, burn Large neglected tumors Hx of ionizing radiation, PUVA therapy, arsenic ingestion or immunosuppression

6 Mortality From SCCA Who dies from NMSC? BCCA Rare Pts refused treatment SCCA Is 2 nd most common cause after melanoma Most common if lymphatic spread (>50%) Not hx of refused treatment Elderly Suppressed immune system HIV Organ Transplant Refused Treatment Upset about a positive margin in medial canthus 20 years prior. America Cancer Society Fact Sheet Treatment: Early Stage Cryotherapy (Actinic Keratosis) Electrocautery and Curretage (<.5cm) Surgical Excision Moh s H zone lesion (high risk) Recurrent, indistinct boarders, cosmetically important areas, aggressive histologies, priorly radiated, immunosuppressed, basal nevus Diffuse Treatments : 5FU, chemical/laser peel Surgical Excision (Moh s, WLE) Wide Local Excision When Moh s no longer adequate Recurrent lesions Radiation

7 Radiation therapy IS effective for BCC/SCC but not often used as primary treatment 95% cure rate small lesions 80% cure rate for large lesions (w high risk features) Radiation is generally reserved for High risk SCC/BCC Poor surgical candidates Recurrence after surgery Manage nodal disease prophylactically Drawbacks to Radiotherapy Lack of histological margins Subepithelial spread can be several cm RT Avoided in poorly defined lesion Side effects/scarring with radiation can be significant Significant commitment and access to an skilled radiotherapist can be an issue Recurrence of NMSC after RT may be more aggressive Chemotherapy Hedgehog signaling is normally active in embryonic development (GDC-0499) SCC BCC Topical 5 FU Topical Chemoprevention retinoids 5 FU Imiquimod Intravascular Vismodegib (erivedge) FDA 2012 In BCC Activation of Smoothened (SMO) protein or functional loss of PTCH in >90 % of BCC Erivedge inhibits SMO vismodegib Cl N O HN Cl O S O 27 Teh et al., Cancer Res 2005: 28 7

Perineural skull base V1,2,3 Facial nerve Auriculotemporal nerve

12 Therapeutic Interventions of T4 Considerations Radiation? Consider wide local excision If + margins, can they be reirradiated? Reduce immunosuppression/ adequate HIV meds Medical therapy?: Hedge hog inhibitor for BCC Massive lesions Failed Radiation Prior surgeries Immunosuppressed High Met rate Invading critical structures Invading unresectable intracranial sites Considerations Massive lesions Size by itself is not a determinant Are socially isolating Impetus to treat if even for palliation How big defect to close? Failed Radiation Prior surgeries Immunosuppressed High Met rate Invading critical structures Invading unresectable intracranial sites Considerations Massive lesions Failed Radiation How much radiation was given? Where was radiation given (is there a field miss?) If you resect, can more be given to critical sites? Prior surgeries Immunosuppressed High Met rate Invading critical structures Invading unresectable intracranial sites

13 Considerations Considerations Massive lesions Failed Radiation Prior surgeries Were they inadequate? Do they impede flap reconstruction? Immunosuppressed High Met rate Invading critical structures Invading unresectable intracranial sites Massive lesions Failed Radiation Prior surgeries Immunosuppressed HIV? Are they on adequate meds yet? Organ Tx: can meds be decreased? High Met rate Invading critical structures Invading unresectable intracranial sites Considerations Massive lesions Failed Radiation Prior surgeries Immunosuppressed High Met rate Image and address nodal basin Invading critical structures Invading unresectable intracranial sites Considerations Massive lesions Failed Radiation Prior surgeries Immunosuppressed High Met rate Invading critical structures Orbit, nose, ear, Facial nerve Invading unresectable intracranial sites

14 Considerations Case: Recurrent BCC Massive lesions Failed Radiation Prior surgeries Immunosuppressed High Met rate Invading critical structures Invading unresectable intracranial sites Cavernous sinus?

18 Tips for Advanced disease Conclusion 1) Get negative margins on skin and bone 2)Reirradiate residual margins when possibleoften can, many cases of radiation failure are associated with field miss 3) Calvarial implants are associated with infection in about 20% of cases Advanced Skin Cancer require multidisciplinary care Skilled facility Evaluate reirradiation Consider resection of unresectable lesions for local control and possible long term control Optimize patient status (immunesuppression?) 4)Evaluate neck for metastases in high risk lesion
