PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy of multimodal treatment in adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the lacrimal gland.

METHODS: A retrospective comparative case series of 40 consecutive patients with ACC of the lacrimal gland without systemic metastasis at the initial presentation and primarily managed by one of the 3 treatment protocols-surgery + external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) (group 1), surgery + EBRT + adjuvant chemotherapy (group 2), and neoadjuvant chemotherapy + surgery + EBRT + adjuvant chemotherapy (multimodal treatment) (group 3) at a tertiary care ocular oncology center. Local tumor control, eye salvage, and systemic metastasis were the primary outcome measures.

RESULTS: The age ranged from 11 to 72 (mean ± SD, 36 ± 13; median, 36) years with 26 (65%) male and 14 (35%) female patients. Twelve (30%) patients belonged to group 1, 8 (20%) to group 2, and 20 (50%) to group 3. Primary surgery included tumor excision in 36 (90%) and orbital exenteration in 4 (10%). Chemotherapy composed of cisplatin + 5 fluorouracil (5FU) for 6 cycles in 28 (70%) patients. Extended-field stereotactic EBRT with a dose of 5,000-6,000 cGy included the entire pretreatment extent of the tumor with a 10-mm margin all around, superior orbital fissure, inferior orbital fissure, cavernous sinus, and temporal fossa. Mean duration of follow up after completion of treatment was 58 ± 26 (range, 29-180; median, 60) months. In all, local tumor recurrence occurred in 10 (25%) patients at a mean of 38 ± 23 (range, 12-120; median, 24) months. Local tumor recurrence was noted in 5 (42%) patients in group 1, 2 (25%) in group 2, and 3 (15%) in group 3. Overall, eye salvage was possible in 34 (85%) patients, with visual acuity >20/40 in 28 (82%). Systemic metastasis occurred in 10 (25%) patients at a mean of 53 ± 28 (range, 12-120; median, 43) months. Eight (67%) patients in group 1, 1 (13%) in group 2, and 1 (5%) in group 3 developed systemic metastasis. Six (15%) overall, 5 (42%) in group 1 and 1 (13%) in group 2, died with systemic metastasis.

CONCLUSIONS: Multimodal treatment with sequential neoadjuvant chemotherapy, followed by surgery, extended-field stereotactic EBRT, and adjuvant chemotherapy seems relatively more effective in providing local tumor control and eye salvage and in minimizing the risk of systemic metastasis in ACC of the lacrimal gland.
