The Evaluation and Management of Carcinoma of the Minor Salivary Glands

xlomafota13 shared this article with you from Inoreader
There are several hundred minor salivary glands throughout the upper aerodigestive tract, aiding in lubrication and protection of the system. Compared with all tumors of the head and neck and those of the six major glands, neoplasms of the minor glands are rare. However, more than half are found to be malignant, prompting a low threshold for further work-up. This review discusses the evaluation of patients who present with masses of the minor salivary glands, including strategies for tissue diagnosis and staging. Management options for and long-term survival outcomes of the most common malignancies affecting these glands are also discussed.
