Abstract
Objective
To determine the therapeutic indications for systemic medical treatment in the management of adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) according to the clinical situation.
Materials and methods
The French Network of Rare Head and Neck Tumors (REFCOR) formed a steering group, which 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
ACCs are rare tumors and there is currently insufficient evidence to indicate chemotherapy at the localized stage. At the metastatic stage, progression is often slow. In case of oligometastatic ACC, local treatment should be discussed. The most often indolent nature of polymetastatic ACC can allow management by active surveillance. Molecular screening is recommended, for abnormalities potentially accessible to targeted therapy.
Conclusion
ACCs are rare tumors for which there are currently few effective medical treatments. It is therefore recommended to include patients in clinical trials.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
