Abstract
Objective
To determine the therapeutic indications for systemic medical treatment in the management of salivary gland carcinoma (excluding adenoid cystic carcinoma) according to the clinical situation.
Materials and methods
The French Network of Rare Head and Neck Tumors (REFCOR) formed a steering group who drafted a narrative review of the literature published on Medline and proposed recommendations. The level of adherence to the recommendations was then assessed by a rating group, according to the formal consensus method.
Results
Salivary gland carcinoma is rare and there is currently insufficient evidence to indicate chemotherapy at the localized stage. At the metastatic stage, initial management can be based on a phase of monitoring for indolent disease. Some histological subtypes (salivary duct carcinoma and adenocarcinoma) are more aggressive and require systemic treatment from the outset. To guide systemic treatment, it is recommended to perform immunohistochemistry and molecular biology analyses (overexpression of HER2 and androgen receptors, NTRK fusion, next-generation sequencing).
Conclusion
Salivary gland carcinoma is a rare tumor for which there are currently few effective medical treatments. It is therefore recommended to include patients in clinical trials.
期刊介绍:
European Annals of Oto-rhino-laryngology, Head and Neck diseases heir of one of the oldest otorhinolaryngology journals in Europe is the official organ of the French Society of Otorhinolaryngology (SFORL) and the the International Francophone Society of Otorhinolaryngology (SIFORL). Today six annual issues provide original peer reviewed clinical and research articles, epidemiological studies, new methodological clinical approaches and review articles giving most up-to-date insights in all areas of otology, laryngology rhinology, head and neck surgery. The European Annals also publish the SFORL guidelines and recommendations.The journal is a unique two-armed publication: the European Annals (ANORL) is an English language well referenced online journal (e-only) whereas the Annales Françaises d’ORL (AFORL), mail-order paper and online edition in French language are aimed at the French-speaking community. French language teams must submit their articles in French to the AFORL site.
Federating journal in its field, the European Annals has an Editorial board of experts with international reputation that allow to make an important contribution to communication on new research data and clinical practice by publishing high-quality articles.
