A hypothesis to relate salivary tumors with mammary and prostate neoplasias

Abstract: Abstract:Salivary, mammary and prostate glands are sex hormone-dependent organs sharing common aspects in structure, hormonal responsiveness and tumor histopathology. Salivary tumors (especially the malignant types) are not as frequent as mammary and prostate neoplasias. Hence, prognosis of some salivary tumors is not always efficient. Here, we review the oncology of salivary gland and its putative relation to breast/prostate tumors.Keywords: glands; salivary; mammary; prostate; tumors; sex hormones; histopath… Show more

“…Consequently, they lead us to consider salivary glands as potent endocrine disruptor targets. In this way, SSG share some similar characteristics with mammary glands in terms of morphology, sex hormone dependency, cellular mechanisms, and tumor histopathology (Actis 2005). We therefore hypothesized that female SSG morphogenesis and properties could be similarly affected by early exposure to endocrine disruptors (El Sheikh Saad et al 2011).…”

“…Actis indicated a certain connection and a similarity of histopathological types between the tumours of the salivary glands, breast, and prostate tumours. Thus, the structure of pleomorphic adenoma is very similar to a mucocellular tumour of the breast gland [16] .…”

“…Thus, the influence of persistent viral infections on the development of various types of tumours and their endocrine dependence has already been sufficiently studied. In particular, it is known of the role of human papilloma virus (types 6,8,16,18) in the development of cervical cancer [5,6] , as well as the effect of hyperestrogenemia on the development of tumours in the mammary glands [7] . It is also known that the accuracy of morphological verification, as a rule, is no more than 85%.…”

“…Thus, among the main ones are androgen, estrogen, and progesterone -hormones that act through specific receptors and that play an important role in the growth and the development of several tumors, including breast, endometrial, and prostate carcinoma [8]. (Actis A.B., 2005) indicated a certain connection and a similarity of the histopathological types between the tumors of the salivary glands, the breast, and the prostate tumors. Thus, the structure of pleomorphic adenoma is very similar to a mucocellular tumor of the breast gland [17].…”
