The rarity of ONB has led to conflicting reports regarding associations of patient age and ONB survival and outcome. Moreover, long-term outcomes of chemotherapy and other treatment modalities are speculated. Here, we aimed to compare survival outcomes across age groups through time and determine associations between treatment modality and survival. In this retrospective population-based study, we analyzed the SEER 2000\u20132016 Database for patients with ONB tumors. Using Kaplan\u2013Meier survival analysis, a significant effect of age and cancer-specific survival (CSS) was observed; geriatric ONB patients had the lowest CSS overall. Generalized linear models and survival analyses demonstrated that CSS of the pediatric patient population was similar to the geriatric group through 100 months but plateaued thereafter and was the highest of all age groups. Radiation and surgery were associated with increased CSS, while chemotherapy was associated with decreased CSS. GLM results showed that tumor grade, stage and lymph node involvement had no CSS associations with age or treatment modality. Our results provide insight for future investigations of long-term outcomes associated with ONB patient age and treatment modality, and we conclude that survival statistics of ONB patients should be analyzed in terms of trends through time rather than fixed in time.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm10122685","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,18]],"date-time":"2021-06-18T11:19:20Z","timestamp":1624015160000},"page":"2685","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Survival Associations between Patient Age and Treatment Modality in Olfactory Neuroblastoma: A Retrospective Population-Based Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Andre J.","family":"Burnham","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA 30322, USA"},{"name":"Aflac Cancer & Blood Disorders Center, Children\u2019s Healthcare of Atlanta, Atlanta, GA 30322, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Phillip A.","family":"Burnham","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vermont Complex Systems Center, University of Vermont, Burlington, VT 05405, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Edwin M.","family":"Horwitz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA 30322, USA"},{"name":"Aflac Cancer & Blood Disorders Center, Children\u2019s Healthcare of Atlanta, Atlanta, GA 30322, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"410","article-title":"L\u2019esthesioneuroepitheliome olfactif","volume":"13","author":"Berger","year":"1924","journal-title":"Bull.
