Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Remarkable progress has been made in the treatment of salivary gland disease. In salivary gland tumors with a variety of histologic types, preoperative diagnosis was difficult. Advances in diagnostic imaging and cytology have made preoperative diagnosis more accurate. In addition, improvements in surgical equipment and new surgical techniques are being investigated, and methods to safely and reliably preserve the facial nerve as well as to improve treatment results are being proposed. On the other hand, since distant metastasis is not uncommon in high-grade salivary gland cancer, treatment of recurrence is also important, and new treatments such as molecular-targeted drugs have recently shown efficacy. In this Special Issue, we strongly welcome submissions of articles on clinical advances in salivary gland tumors, both diagnostic and therapeutic.
