Overview

Other imaging studies for salivary gland tumor include PET scan and endoscopy.^[1]

Other Imaging Findings

PET Scan

A PET scan is used to assist in initial staging of the tumor when other tests have been unable to confirm how extensive the tumor is and to find tumor recurrence.^[1]

Endoscopy

For salivary gland cancer, an endoscope is inserted into the mouth to look at the mouth, throat, and larynx.
