Abstract
Salivary gland tumors (SGTs) pose considerable diagnostic and treatment challenges due to their heterogeneous nature, diverse histogenesis, and unpredictable clinical outcomes. Benign tumors exhibit a known recurrence rate, whereas malignant tumors are associated with a poor prognosis and a low recovery rate. Nonetheless, despite the growing body of research, there is insufficient evidence to establish a link between SGTs, human papilloma virus (HPV) infection, and the hypermethylation of tumor suppressor genes. The aim of this study is to elucidate the relationship between DNA hypermethylation and HPV in SGTs, elucidate the role of DNA hypermethylation in HPV-associated SGTs, thereby offering insights into novel diagnostic, and prognostic markers. As epigenetic alterations significantly contribute to the development of carcinogenesis, addressing these epigenetic alterations may help in early treatment plans and early detection of SGTs.
期刊介绍：
The Medeniyet Medical Journal (Medeniyet Med J) is an open access, peer-reviewed, and scientific journal of Istanbul Medeniyet University Faculty of Medicine on various academic disciplines in medicine, which is published in English four times a year, in March, June, September, and December by a group of academics. Medeniyet Medical Journal is the continuation of Göztepe Medical Journal (ISSN: 1300-526X) which was started publishing in 1985. It changed the name as Medeniyet Medical Journal in 2015. Submission and publication are free of charge. No fees are asked from the authors for evaluation or publication process. All published articles are available online in the journal website (www.medeniyetmedicaljournal.org) without any fee. The journal publishes intradisciplinary or interdisciplinary clinical, experimental, and basic researches as well as original case reports, reviews, invited reviews, or letters to the editor, Being published since 1985, the Medeniyet Med J recognizes that the best science should lead to better lives based on the fact that the medicine should serve to the needs of society, and knowledge should transform society. The journal aims to address current issues at both national and international levels, start debates, and exert an influence on decision-makers all over the world by integrating science in everyday life. Medeniyet Med J is committed to serve the public and influence people’s lives in a positive way by making science widely accessible. Believing that the only goal is improving lives, and research has an impact on people’s lives, we select the best research papers in line with this goal.
