Salivary gland cancers are a rare, histologically diverse group of tumors. They range from
indolent to aggressive and can cause significant morbidity and mortality. Surgical resection …

We defined the occult nodal metastasis (ONM) rate of clinical node‐negative salivary gland
malignancies and examined the role of elective neck dissection (END). Meta‐analysis …

Introduction To investigate whether the positive lymph node number (PLNN) and positive
lymph node ratio (PLNR) could predict the prognosis of patients with major salivary gland …

Objective Elective neck dissection in patients with salivary gland carcinoma and clinically
negative lymph nodes is controversial. Reported proportion of occult nodal metastases vary …

Major salivary gland malignancies are rare, constituting 1%-3% of head-neck tumours. The
surgical management of the clinically negative neck (cN0) does not have a univocal …

The present study was undertaken to evaluate real probability and pattern of cervical occult
lymph node metastases (OLNM) in primary parotid carcinoma (PPC). We carried out a …

Objectives Limited availability of validated human adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) cell lines
has hindered the mechanistic understanding of the pathobiology of this malignancy and the …

Abstracts Background Prognostic factors for parotid mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC)
usually include disease grade, tumor stage, node stage, perineural invasion, and …

Background The aim was to identify prognostic factors and test three prognostic scoring
models that predicted the risk of recurrence in patients with parotid gland carcinoma …

Objective The role and extent of neck dissection in primary parotid cancer are controversial.
Herein, we characterize patterns of lymph node metastasis in parotid cancer. Study Design …
