Overview[edit | edit source]

Low grade, low stage (I and II) and adequately resected acinic cell carcinoma are not considered for any further therapy, as their prognosis is excellent with surgery alone. Criteria for additional radiotherapy of acinic cell carcinoma does not differ with other salivary gland carcinomas. There is insufficient information regarding chemotherapy in acinic cell carcinoma. Observation of distant metastasis with a rate of 1 in 5 indicate the need for developing such regimen.

Criteria for additional radiotherapy of acinic cell carcinoma does not differ with other salivary gland carcinomas and include:^[2]

Conversely Biron et al suggest that 'radiotherapy probably is not effective in acinic cell carcinoma.^[3]

There is insufficient information regarding chemotherapy in acinic cell carcinoma.^[4]
Some have suggested of positive effects of mTOR inhibitors due to acinic cell carcinoma, but no specific chemotherapy regimen have been currently approved.
Observation of distant metastasis with a rate of 1 in 5 indicate the need for developing such regimen.
