Carcinoma of the parotid and submandibular glands—a study of survival in 2465 patients

Outcome of Surgery and Post-Operative Radiotherapy for Major Salivary Gland Carcinoma: Ten Year Experience from a Single Institute

“…Patients with adenoid cystic carcinoma of the major salivary glands treated with surgery and radiation have excellent overall control rates with 5 and 10 year local control rates of 94% and 73% (Theresa et al, 2005). A study by Wahlberg et al showed that acinic cell carcinoma had the best prognosis with the 10 year survival rate of 88% (Wahlberg, 2002). The 5-year and 10-year estimates of local-regional control in carcinoma of major salivary glands were 86% and 74%, respectively (Toonkel et al, 1994).…”

“…Histology is an important prognostic factor. For parotid tumours, adenocarcinoma and undifferentiated carcinoma have worse prognosis (10 year survival 55% and 44% respectively) (Wahlberg et al, 2002). Newer treatment modality like Intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) might benefit patients by sparing more normal tissue than conventional methods.…”

A unique case of benign pleomorphic adenoma metastasizing to the thyroid gland and liver

“…Carcinosarcoma is a true malignant mixed tumour containing both epithelial and mesenchymal components. Carcionsarcoma is a highly aggressive tumour that, like carcinoma ex-PSA, carries a poor 5-year survival [12,13] .…”

Histopathological Diversity in Parotidectomy Materials in Turkish Population: Clinicopathologic Analysis and Demographic Features of 136 Cases in a Tertiary Care Hospital

“…Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is the most prevalent type of tumor among malignant tumors. This is followed by adenocarcinoma (NOS), acinic cell carcinoma (ACC) and Adenoid cystic carcinoma (AdCC) (Spiro, 1986;Wahlberg et al, 2002;Barnes et al, 2005;Ellis and Auclair, 2008). In our series, MEC was the most prevalent type of tumor among women (22.2%), while it ranked in the second position among men (16.7%).…”
