Cancer of the salivary gland is a disease in which cancer cells are found in the tissues of the salivary glands. The salivary glands make saliva, the fluid that is released into the mouth to keep it moist and to help dissolve food. Major clusters of salivary glands are found below the tongue, on the sides of the face just in front of the ears, and under the jawbone. Many growths in the salivary glands do not spread to other tissues and are not cancer. These tumors are called “benign” tumors and are not usually treated the same as cancer. The symptoms of salivary gland cancer include swelling under the chin or around the jawbone, the face becomes numb, muscles in the face cannot move, or there is pain that does not go away in the face, chin, or neck. Then with MRI scan the status of disease becomes clear and proper treatment can be decided with it. Different treatments are available for patients with cancer of the salivary gland are Surgery, Radiation therapy, Chemotherapy. The treatment of salivary gland cancer is suggested to different patients depending on location of cancer, the stage of the disease, and the patient’s age and overall health. Surgery is often used to remove cancers of the salivary gland. Depending on where the cancer is and how far it has spread, a doctor may need to cut out tissue around the cancer. If cancer has spread to lymph nodes in the neck, the lymph nodes may be removed. Radiation therapy is also a common treatment of cancer of the salivary gland. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Because of advancement in medical field many new surgical techniques of cancer surgery have been made available.
