Acinic cell carcinoma future or investigational therapies

Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1] Associate Editor(s)-in-Chief: Ramyar Ghandriz MD [2]

Overview

Finding a good chemotherapy regimen for distant metastasis, molecular methodology by the concept of MASC, links between genetic and disease, the role of S-100 protein in salivary gland pathologies are fields of further research.

Future or Investigational Therapies

Finding a good chemotherapy regimen for distant metastasis is necessary, since far metastasis, specially lungs, have been involved in a great portion of patients.^[1]
Molecular methodology by the concept of MASC need further thinking and research.
Links between genetic and disease is still uncertain.
The role of S-100 protein in salivary gland pathologies is still not very well understood.
