Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the salivary gland (ACC-SG) is a slow-growing tumor that is refractory to most chemotherapeutic agents. Estrogen receptor (ER) antagonists provide a novel approach for recurrent disease.
We report two cases of ACC-SC in which Tamoxifen/Toremifene were used.
Both patients obtained long-term stability of disease with no associated toxicity.
Given the relatively unsuccessful treatments for ACC-SC and the low toxicity of ER antagonists, such therapy should be considered in these patients for its potential disease-stabilizing effects.
涎腺腺样囊性癌(ACC-SG)是一种生长缓慢的肿瘤,对大多数化疗药物均耐药。雌激素受体(ER)拮抗剂为复发性疾病提供了一种新的治疗方法。
我们报告了2例使用他莫昔芬/托瑞米芬治疗的ACC-SC病例。
两名患者均获得了疾病的长期稳定,且无相关毒性。
鉴于ACC-SC的治疗相对不太成功,且ER拮抗剂毒性较低,应考虑对这些患者采用此类治疗,因其具有潜在的疾病稳定作用。
