Clinical Outcomes of Intensity Modulated Proton Therapy for Salivary Gland Carcinoma: High Local Control and Quality of Life Preservation

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background In recent years, particle therapy has shown promise as a local treatment for salivary gland carcinoma (SGC); however, its efficacy and safety remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of intensity‐modulated proton therapy (IMPT) for SGC.

Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma of the Esophagus [PDF]

The Korean Journal of Gastroenterology, 2019
Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is a malignant tumor that occurs mainly in the salivary glands of adults and children, but rarely in the esophagus. A surgical resection is the primary treatment for mucoepidermal carcinoma, and the prognosis has been reported to be poor.

Volume Outcome Relationships of Oropharyngeal Cancer Patients Undergoing Transoral Robotic Surgery

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Volume outcome relationships of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) remain incompletely analyzed. In this national retrospective cohort study, we consistently found that patients receiving TORS at high‐volume centers in the United States experienced lower positive margin rates, reduced perioperative mortality, and increased overall survival than patients ...

Warthin-like Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma of the Parotid Gland: Unusual Morphology and Diagnostic Pitfalls

Anticancer Research, 2019
Background: Warthin-like mucoepidermoid carcinoma is a newly recognized rare entity and could be misdiagnosed as a benign Warthin tumor. We report such a case of a 36-year-old male who presented with a left parotid gland mass.

Temporal‐Parotid Resection for Malignant Parotid Tumors: A Systematic Review

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Parotid gland tumors represent a complex surgical challenge. Temporal‐parotid resection (TPR) is indicated to manage temporal bone invasion. Thirteen studies investigated the role of TPR in literature, including 336 patients. High rates of negative margins and local disease control are achieved with TPR.

Central mucoepidermoid carcinoma: Case report with review of literature

National Journal of Maxillofacial Surgery, 2019
Occurrence of central mucoepidermoid carcinoma within the jaw bones from aberrant salivary tissues is extremely rare and accounts for 2%–4% of all central mucoepidermoid carcinoma. Mandible is more commonly affected than maxilla in a ratio of 2:1.

Intermediate Grade Salivary Gland Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma: Is Neck Dissection Indicated?

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective NCCN guidelines recommend a neck dissection addressing at least levels II‐IV for high‐grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) and close observation of the lymphatic basins for low‐grade MEC. However, no guidelines exist for intermediate‐grade MEC with clinically and radiologically uninvolved cervical lymph nodes.

Primary Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma of the Esophagus [PDF]

Journal of Thoracic Oncology, 2011
Primary mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) of the esophagus is an uncommon neoplasm characterized by a diffuse mixture of squamous and mucus-secreting glandular carcinoma cells. Its biological behavior and response to therapies have not been well studied. Surgical resection is still the primary treatment, but the prognosis is poor. This retrospective study
