B Green et al. Oral Dis. 2016 Nov.

Abstract

Salivary gland tumours represent a diverse range of tumours with many histological subtypes which occur in major and minor salivary glands. The management of these tumours is complex owing to their heterogeneity. Surgery together with radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy remains the treatment strategy for these tumours. The aim of this review is to examine the current management of these tumours.

Keywords: carcinoma; management; radiotherapy; salivary gland; surgery.
