متن کاملAdenoid cystic carcinoma of the salivary glands.
Eighty-two patients with adenoid cystic carcinoma treated by a radical course of radiotherapy are reviewed. In 44 cases the tumour arose in the major salivary glands and, of these, 77% had an incomplete surgical excision and 23% had only a tumour biopsy before radiotherapy. Thirty-eight tumours arose in the minor salivary glands and, of these, 18% had an incomplete surgical excision and 82% a b...
متن کاملImmunohistochemical Assessment of Ki-67 Expression in Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma of the Salivary Glands
Objective Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignant tumor originating from the salivary glands. It’s rather bland histological appearance that masks its ultimate biological aggressiveness. Evaluation of cell cycle and mitoses have been useful in predicting malignancy in many tumors. Ki-67 antigen is a human nuclear antigen that presents during all active phases of cell cycle. The aim ...
متن کاملImmunohistochemical Study of HER2/neu Overexpression in Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma of Salivary Glands
Background and Objectives: Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC), the most common malignant tumor of submandibular and minor salivary glands, is characterized by a high rate of local recurrence and distant hematogenous metastasis and tendency to invade peripheral nerves. In spite of radiotherapy and surgical treatment, the long-term prognosis is dismal. Today, many studies are being conducted using...
