Timing of postoperative radiation therapy and survival in resected salivary gland cancers: Long-term results from a single institution.

Objectives: Timely administration of postoperative radiation therapy (PORT) impacts oncologic outcomes in resected squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck. Salivary gland cancers (SGCs) are uncommon, and timing of PORT has not been extensively explored. We aimed to determine if the interval between surgery and PORT impacts outcomes in SGCs.
