Prediction of distant metastasis and survival in adenoid cystic carcinoma using quantitative 18F-FDG PET/CT measurements
Salivary gland cancer is a rare disease that accounts for approximately 5% of all head and neck cancers and 0.3% of all human cancers [1 –3]. Salivary gland carcinoma arises in various regions of the major and minor salivary glands, presenting at least 24 different histological subtypes with different clinical features of metastasis and recurrence [4,5]. Distant metastases are relatively common in salivary gland carcinoma [6], and may be present at initial presentation or may emerge during the post-treatment period.
