Malignancy
NO
The objective of this study is to systematically evaluate the available evidence regarding regional management in patients with parotid lymph node metastasis from eyelid sebaceous carcinoma. The review focuses on the extent of parotidectomy, the role of postoperative radiotherapy (PORT), and the indication and extent of neck dissection. Evidence will be synthesized according to predefined clinical questions, focusing on regional recurrence, patterns of lymph node metastasis, and oncologic outcomes to clarify the optimal regional treatment strategy for this patient population.
Others
This study aims to evaluate, in patients with parotid lymph node metastasis from eyelid sebaceous carcinoma, (1) the extent of parotidectomy, (2) the role of postoperative radiotherapy (PORT), and (3) the indication and extent of neck dissection according to predefined clinical questions.
Regional recurrence after treatment for parotid lymph node metastasis (parotid and/or cervical regional recurrence). The site of recurrence (parotid region, cervical region, in-field or out-of-field recurrence) and the time to regional recurrence will be recorded.
(1) Occult cervical lymph node metastasis; (2) Distribution of metastatic cervical lymph node levels; (3) Disease-free survival (DFS), overall survival (OS), and disease-specific survival (DSS); (4) Disease status at the last follow-up (no evidence of disease, alive with disease, and dead of disease); (5) Treatment-related complications; and (6) Duration of follow-up.

Male and Female
PEligible studies include patients with histologically confirmed parotid lymph node metastasis from eyelid sebaceous carcinoma. Patients with isolated parotid lymph node metastasis or combined parotid and cervical lymph node metastases are eligible. Studies must report details of parotid surgery, neck dissection, or postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) and provide data on regional recurrence, lymph node distribution, or oncologic outcomes. For mixed cohorts, only studies in which patients with parotid lymph node metastasis can be identified separately will be included. No restrictions will be applied regarding publication year or language.
The following will be excluded: (1) patients with cervical lymph node metastasis without parotid lymph node metastasis; (2) prophylactic parotidectomy cases without pathological parotid lymph node metastasis; (3) direct invasion of the parotid gland without lymph node metastasis; (4) studies in which patients with parotid lymph node metastasis cannot be identified separately; (5) single case reports, reviews, conference abstracts, editorials, letters, or other publications without original patient data; and (6) studies evaluating only sentinel lymph node biopsy, systemic therapy alone, or primary tumor treatment alone. When duplicate cohorts are identified, only the most informative report will be included.

This study will be conducted in accordance with PRISMA 2020 guidelines as a systematic review and meta-analysis. A comprehensive search will be conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase for English-language articles published since 2000 that report on the treatment and outcomes of cervical lymph node or parotid gland metastases from eyelid sebaceous carcinoma.
Data Extraction
The following data will be extracted:
Patient demographics and tumor characteristics
Site of metastasis (cervical nodes, parotid gland)
Extent of parotidectomy (partial vs total)
Neck dissection (prophylactic vs therapeutic vs none)
Use of postoperative radiotherapy
Time from primary tumor treatment to metastasis (short vs long)
Number of metastatic lesions (solitary vs multiple)
Quantitative Analysis
Meta-analysis will compare the following binary variables with respect to local recurrence rate, overall survival (OS), and disease-free survival (DFS), presenting relative risks (RR) or hazard ratios (HR):
Solitary vs multiple metastases
Short vs long interval from primary treatment to metastasis
Partial vs total parotidectomy
With vs without postoperative radiotherapy
With vs without prophylactic neck dissection
Heterogeneity will be assessed using the I2 statistic. Random-effects models will be applied when appropriate. Publication bias will be evaluated using funnel plots and Eggers test. Where meta-analysis is not feasible, narrative synthesis will be provided.
