The essential issue in adenoid cystic carcinoma is long-term control. The present results confirm that the reference attitude is radical surgical resection for optimal local control. Adjuvant radiation therapy did not emerge as a prognostic factor. This study also provides a starting-point for translational studies in pathology and genetics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
