My sons just been diagnosed with a malignant tumor on the sylava gland just below his ear. Iis some form of carcinoma.  They removed the tumor and part of the sylava gland.  Now he needs further treatment.  What is a good protocol to follow at this time?  Is it generally a slow or fast form of cancers.Thanks for any suggestions thoughts.g
HELLO, As your son is diagnosed with carcinoma of salivary gland, histopathology and type of carcinoma predicts its prognosis. Considering it as low grade tumor, only surgery is sufficient and yearly review for recurrence and other swelling below ear and neck. If tumor is high grade and surrounding tissue infiltration u should go for radiotherapy after surgery and yearly reviewal for that
