| Core Tip |
Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) of the major salivary glands is a rare cancer with a limited number of studies with high statistical power. The purpose of this study was to identify prognostic factors effecting overall survival (OS) and cause-specific survival (CSS) of individuals diagnosed with MEC of the major salivary glands. By using de-identified information from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End-Results Program, we concluded that younger age at diagnosis, female sex, smaller tumor size, lower tumor grade, localized tumor growth, and more recent year of diagnosis were positive predictors of statistically significant improvements in OS and CSS. |
