Although salivary gland malignancies account for only a small percentage of all head and neck cancers, the incidence is increasing. Furthermore, there is a wide variety of histologic subtypes which must be taken into account in the context of their location. Each is associated with a different rate of regional metastasis and overall survival. This article examines the incidence of salivary gland malignancies and provides evidence for the indications for and extent of elective or therapeutic neck dissection based on location, pathologic type, and histopathologic characteristics.
尽管唾液腺癌仅占所有头颈部癌症的一小部分，但发病率正在上升。此外，在考虑其位置时，必须考虑到各种组织学亚型。每种亚型的局部转移率和总生存率都不同。本文检查了唾液腺癌的发病率，并根据位置、病理类型和组织病理学特征，为选择性或治疗性颈部解剖的适应证和范围提供了证据。
