Overview
Clinical stage, particularly tumor size, maybe the critical factor to determine the outcome of salivary gland cancer and maybe more important than a histologic grade.
- Staging of acinic cell carcinoma depends on tumor size and location
- In general, tumors of the major salivary glands are staged according to
- Size
- Extraparenchymal extension
- Lymph node involvement (in parotid tumors, whether or not the facial nerve is involved)
- Presence of metastases
- Tumors arising in the minor salivary glands are staged according to the anatomic site of origin (e.g., oral cavity and sinuses)
- Diagnostic imaging studies may be used in staging. With excellent spatial resolution and superior soft-tissue contrast, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers advantages over computed tomographic scanning in the detection and localization of head and neck tumors.
- Overall, MRI is the preferred modality for the evaluation of suspected neoplasms of the salivary glands.
