INTRODUCTION: Osteoradionecrosis is a rare and debilitating risk of definitive chemoradiotherapy for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. It is difficult to distinguish between osteoradionecrosis and recurrent or progressive disease, as clinical and radiologic features may be similar. Our aim was to compare the clinical presentation and radiologic features of osteonecrosis with those of recurrent or progressive cancer.
METHODS: We conducted a single-center case series of 19 patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma diagnosed between 2011 and 2019 who subsequently developed clinical and/or radiological suspicion of osteoradionecrosis. The population was a referred sample from head and neck cancer physicians at Northwell Health Cancer Institute. Clinician notes and imaging reports were reviewed to assign a final diagnosis of either cancer, osteonecrosis, or indeterminate.
RESULTS: No differences were found in the clinical presentation or radiologic features between groups. Median time between treatment and development of symptoms was longer in patients with a final diagnosis of osteoradionecrosis than recurrent or progressive disease (5 vs. 3 months), but this difference was not statistically significant. Radiation dose and type were not associated with diagnosis. Mean standard uptake value maximums on positron emission tomography/computed tomography were significantly higher in the cancer group (median 14.8 vs. 9.1, p < 0.0152). At 1 year after first suspicion of osteoradionecrosis, 100% of osteoradionecrosis patients were alive, versus 28.6% of cancer patients.
DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION: There is significant overlap in clinical and radiologic features of osteoradionecrosis and cancer. Standard uptake maximums may be helpful in predicting diagnosis. Occurrence of symptoms within 6 months of completing chemoradiotherapy should raise the concern for malignancy.
