摘要: Salivary gland tumors (SGTs) comprise a heterogeneous group of cancers, with high variability in their natural history. Surgery (with adjuvant radiation therapy high-risk patients) remains the standard curative treatment. Systemic chemotherapy alone has yielded modest results, although its association is still actively studied. Recent progress molecular medicine prompted initiation many clinical trials targeted agents. Still, while new specific biological targets have been identified main histological subtypes SGTs, results these are so far disappointing. Further prospective studies, as well identification pathways, could contribute to therapeutic improvements this diseases.
