Abstract
Objective
To determine the indications and modalities for resection in the management of primary sublingual and minor salivary gland cancer, and the specific features of each primary location.
Material 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
Histological evidence (submucosal biopsy) is recommended before surgical treatment of minor salivary gland carcinoma. Surgical treatment is recommended, with optimal oncologic margins, adapted to anatomical factors, histologic type and grade and functional consequences, with reconstruction if necessary.
Conclusion
Treatment of primary minor salivary and sublingual gland cancer is surgical, with wide resection margins. The modalities of resection and reconstruction are highly dependent on tumor location, extension and histologic type.
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.
