Background: Malignant salivary gland tumors (SGTs) present diagnostic challenges and limited treatment options. This study aims to determine the proportion of malignant SGTs overexpressing the androgen receptor (AR) by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and its association to age, sex, anatomical site, histopathological subtype and grade which may inform customized treatment approaches.

Methodology: This was a retrospective cross-sectional analytical study of archived paraffin embedded tissue blocks of malignant SGTs diagnosed at MNH Central Pathology Laboratory (CPL) from January 2019 to December 2022.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on treating locally advanced buccal mucosa cancer, primarily through surgery and postoperative radiotherapy with specific chemotherapy regimens, including Cisplatin and 5-Fluorouracil.
  • It evaluates the effectiveness of de-escalated treatment using ipsilateral face radiotherapy, which targets only the affected side of the face to improve functions like chewing and mitigate side effects.
  • A total of 54 patients were reviewed retrospectively, revealing treatment patterns and outcomes, including indications for radiation based on tumor margins and lymph node involvement, along with one patient's alternative treatment approach leading to poor outcomes.
