55 (25%) patients in the DRT and control groups, respectively. A propensity score model incorporating age, gender, tumor subsite, performance score, histology subtype, staging method, clinical T and N stage, tumor size, and era of treatment was constructed using logistic regression. Treatment outcomes between groups were compared using 1:1 nearestneighbor matching. Results: In the DRT arm, 43 patients (74%) received chemoradiation therapy (CRT), and 52 patients (90%) were treated with intensity modulated radiation therapy, with a median dose of 72 Gray. The control group patients were treated with surgery alone (nZ29, 13%) or surgery followed by adjuvant radiation therapy (nZ98, 45%) or CRT (nZ92, 42%). Patients who received DRT were characterized by a significantly higher clinical T (P<.001), N (PZ.002), and disease stage (P<.001), larger tumor size (P<.001), poor performance score (PZ.001), and a higher prevalence of minor salivary gland origin (P<.001). In addition, DRT patients were more likely to receive advanced imaging modalities (P<.001) and be treated in more recent years (PZ.026). After propensity score matching, all the preexisting differences were balanced between groups (58 pairs). The median follow-up lengths for DRT and control arms were 47 and 50 months, respectively. The 5-year overall survival and disease-free survival rates for DRT and control groups were 65% versus 64% and 65% versus 48%, respectively (PZ.672 and PZ.348). No statistically significant differences were observed between DRT and control arms in 5-year locoregional control (69% vs 76%, PZ.591) and distant metastasis-free survival (80% vs 55%, PZ.227). Conclusion: DRT may be an alternative treatment for HGSGC without jeopardizing oncologic outcomes and survival.
