Abstract
A retrospective investigation was performed on 12 patients with submandibular cancers treated between April 2005 and March 2012. Four were adenoid cystic carcinomas, 4 were salivary duct carcinomas, 2 were epithelial-myoepithelial carcinomas, 1 was mucoepithelial carcinoma and 1 was carcinoma. One patient was in Stage I, 5 in Stage II, 2 in Stage III, 3 in Stage IV A, and 1 in Stage IV. Overall survival rate was 62%. The factors indicating a poor outcome were Stage IV and N positive.
We retrospectively investigated 12 patients who underwent submandibular gland cancer surgery from April 2005 to March 2012. In postoperative pathological diagnosis, 4 cases of adenoid cystic carcinoma, 4 cases of salivary duct carcinoma, 2 cases of epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma, 1 case mucoepidermoid carcinoma and 1 case of carcinoma were observed. One case was in Stage I, 5 in Stage II, 2 in Stage III, 3 in Stage IV A, and 1 in Stage IV C. Overall survival rate was 62%. It considered that the factors indicating a poor outcome were Stage IV and N positive.
