Overview

There is no secondary prevention for mucoepidermoid carcinoma.

Secondary Prevention

• There is no secondary prevention for mucoepidermoid carcinoma. However regular medical screening at periodic intervals with:
  • Blood tests
  • Radiological scans
  • Physical examinations
• Due to its high metastasizing potential and chances of recurrence, often several years of active follow-up and vigilance is recommended.
