Comprehensive Salivary Gland Tumor Care at Alpha Surgical Group

Salivary gland tumors encompass both benign and malignant growths in the salivary glands, including the parotid, submandibular, and sublingual glands. While most of these tumors are non-cancerous, some can be malignant and require prompt treatment. 

Understanding Salivary Gland Tumors

The majority of salivary gland tumor are benign, with pleomorphic adenomas being the most common. However, malignancies such as mucoepidermoid carcinoma and adenoid cystic carcinoma can also occur, though they are rarer. Symptoms often include swelling or a lump in the mouth, jaw, or neck, difficulty swallowing, and facial nerve weakness. 

Treatment Options

Treatment for salivary gland tumors typically involves surgery to remove the tumor. The type of surgery depends on the tumor's location and whether it has spread. In some cases, radiation therapy may be recommended, especially if the tumor is malignant or has spread to nearby tissues. Chemotherapy is less commonly used but may be considered for advanced cases.
