Resumen
SORRENTINO, Mariano et al. Adeno cystic carcinoma of salivary glands. Rev. argent. cir. [online]. 2018, vol.110, n.1, pp.1-10. ISSN 2250-639X.
Background: adenoid cystic carcinoma is the most frequent malignant tumor of submaxillary and mi-nor salivary glands. Despite its slow growth, it shows an unfavorable prognosis because of its distant disseminaton. Objective: to analyse our series of patents in relaton to the literature. Materials and methods: 44 patents with mean age 52.47 years female gender. Of them, 61.3% were of minor salivary glands, 20.4% of submaxillary gland, and 18.2% the parotid gland. All patents underwent complete resecton of the tumor followed by neck dissecton in 34%. Co60 radiotherapy was administered to 43.2%. Mean follow up was 52.5 (range, 1-120) months. Results: 5-year recurrence rate was 36.8%. At 5 and 10 years, overall survival was 60 and 36%,respect-vely. Close surgical margins, requirement of adjuvant radiotherapy and stage significantly afected survival rate. The multivariate analysis showed that close margins was statstically significant for survival and associated with an unfavorable tendency for disease-free interval. Conclusions: extenton of surgery to the neck and adyuvant radiotherapy was dependent of stage, clear surgical margins, neural invasion, positive nodes in the neck and hystological subtype.
