Original Source: Salivary gland tumors : Pathology and prognosis.
Due to their infrequency, diagnosis of salivary gland tumors remains a challenge for the practicing pathologist with respect to subtyping, grading and estimating patient prognosis. In a 3 center collaborative study of 288 cases with clinical follow-up information, it could be demonstrated that apart from clinical parameters like high patient's age, male sex and high tumor stage, the application of a 3-tiered grading system incorporating the histological tumor type is of high prognostic relevance. In immunoh...
