A retrospective multicenter study of sublingual gland carcinoma in Japan

Salivary gland carcinoma is rare among head and neck cancers. Sublingual gland carcinoma, a type of salivary gland carcinoma, is even rarer; therefore, the number of cases at a single institute is too small for sufficient evaluation of tumor characteristics. We conducted a multicenter, retrospective analysis of sublingual gland carcinomas in patients who visited 12 institutions associated with the Kyoto Hospital and Affiliated Facilities Head and Neck Clinical Oncology Group.
