Please note: We continue to build and add to this
section of our website, as we are trying to be extremely comprehensive
in this area. We may not have included every piece of material
that we intend to, or that is out there. Please check back with
us on your next visit, for more additions. Also, you may want
to search medical journal sites, medical libraries and other online
sources for additional material.
Citations are arranged in reverse chronological order, with most
recent publications first. Links may reflect date we found them,
rather than date they were posted, unless a publication date is
given. A magnifying glass next to citation indicates selections
we find more valuable or informative.
We have also attempted to highlight specific references to Acinic
Cell Carcinoma within these citations.

Failure patterns and factors
affecting prognosis of salivary gland carcinoma: retrospective
study.

A retrospective study to investigate the failure patterns and
the prognostic factors following postoperative radiotherapy for
salivary gland carcinoma. Cases of 50 patients in Hong Kong from
1984 through 1993 were reviewed. Conclusions: The N-stage is the
main prognostic factor of overall survival, relapse- and metastasis-free
recovery, and success of treatment. Optimal locoregional treatment
can help reduce distant metastasis, and the maximal use of postoperative
radiotherapy may contribute to improved locoregional control.

Relevant selected excerpts
on Head and Neck Cancers from a major textbook/reference for health
professionals. Detailed treatment recommendations and discussion,
written for health professionals. Breakdown of treatment by individual
site/location, as well as cancer type. Specific sections on most
non-salivary gland cancer types have been excluded from these
excerpts. We have also re-ordered sections to place more relevant
material first. This citation provides a reliable overview, although
material on acinic cell carcinoma is minimal, and not necessarily
completely accurate.

A retrospective review of 133
patients with major salivary gland carcinomas treated between
1955 and 1981 is presented. Numerous results are given. Data indicates
that complete surgical resection results in the best local control,
with or without adjuvant radiation. When the surgical margin is
inadequate and re-excision not possible, adjuvant radiation therapy
appears to have a role to optimize local control and survival.
Of note: Tumor-free interval was longest for patients with acinic
cell and mucoepidermoid carcinomas.
