A potential role for sex hormone receptor antagonists in treatment of malignant salivary gland tumours, as compared to breast cancer: A review of literature
Publication date: August 2013 Source:Tanta Dental Journal, Volume 10, Issue 2 Author(s): T.A. Omar , F. ElDidi , W.M. Nawar Malignant salivary gland tumours (MSGTs) account for less than 5% of all cancers of the head and neck. However, their treatment represents a challenge to oral and maxillofacial specialists. Surgical resection followed by radiation therapy represents the primary treatment of localized MSGTs. Since breast and salivary glands share similar morphologic features; similarities in the pathological processes are also expected. Adjuvant hormonal therapy is recommended for breast tumours containing hormo...
