Salivary Gland Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma – Comparative Study of Immunohistochemistry and Postsurgical Radiation Therapy Based on Literature Review

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is the most common salivary gland carcinoma. This research review is a comparative study on Immunohistochemical markers such as sex hormone receptors, Human epidermal growth factor receptors and gene fusions as MECT1/MAML2 and CRCTC1/3-MAML2 which are playing vital role during diagnosis and prognosis of cancer. Immunohistochemistry has limelight due to its accuracy and interpretation of suitable treatment methods. Postoperative adjuvant radiation therapy in comparative analysis from published data shows its promising results in local containment of cancer and metastatic free survival rate.
