Summary

Salivary gland carcinomas comprise a rare group of malignant tumors which are characterized by their histopathological diversity, variable clinical course, in particular with respect to the facial nerve. Surgical resection with or without adjuvant radiotherapy is the treatment of choice. Surgical procedures are depending on the pathohistological diagnosis and the clinical staging according to the TNM classification respectively. The present paper gives a short overview about the therapeutic modalities with malignant tumors of the salivary glands.

Zusammenfassung

Bei Karzinomen der Speicheldrüsen handelt es sich um eine heterogene Gruppe seltener maligner Tumore, die durch ihre histologische Vielfalt, den unterschiedlichen klinischen Verlauf und durch die enge Beziehung zum N. facialis gekennzeichnet sind. Die Therapie der Wahl ist die chirurgische Resektion mit oder ohne postoperative Strahlentherapie. Dabei richtet sich die Art des chirurgischen Vorgehens nach der pathohistologischen Klassifikation des Tumors, zum anderen gelten wie bei anderen Malignomen der Kopf-Hals-Region die Kriterien des jeweiligen TNM-Stadiums. Die vorliegende Arbeit soll einen kurzen Überblick über die therapeutischen Möglichkeiten in der Therapie dieser Tumoren geben.
