Salivary gland cancer — epidemiology

Abstract: Salivary gland tumors represent 3-11% of all head and neck cancers and 0.2% of all neoplasms. Among Poles, malignancies involving the large salivary glands constituted 0.3% of all malignancies in Poland and 9.7% of head and neck neoplasms. In 2014, the morbidity rate was higher among women, but over the past 15 years there has been a slight prevalence among men. As for benign neoplasms in Poland, the most commonly seen are pleomorphic adenoma and Warthin's tumor. Cystic glandular cancer, mucoid epidermal carci… Show more

“…The percentage of patients with individual histological types differs from their prevalence in the whole population. 16 This is due to the fact that patients with particularly prognostically bad histopathological types were qualified for radiotherapy. For instance, squamous cell carcinoma accounts for only 6-14% of salivary gland cancers in the general population.…”

“…Unfortunately, a number of inflammatory and reactive lesions of the salivary glands may mimic neoplastic disease, so in most patients, imaging diagnosis, including ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography, must be routinely performed. Salivary gland tumors account for 3 to 10% of all head and neck cancers [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ]; in Europe, this percentage is 8.5% [ 5 ]. Most of the proliferative lesions in the salivary glands are benign, and only less than 20% are malignant [ 6 ].…”
