Overview
Surgery is the mainstay of therapy for mucoepidermoid carcinoma.
Surgery
- Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (low-grade): complete surgical excision with sparing of the facial nerve.[1][1]
- Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (high-grade): parotidectomy with facial nerve sparing may be followed by radiotherapy.
- Clinically aggressive mucoepidermoid carcinoma tumors with facial nerve involvement will require radical surgery with sacrifice of the facial nerve and radiotherapy. [2]
- Primary nerve grafting using the sural nerve if possible is performed.
- Lymph node dissection is usually only performed for detected nodal metastasis.
- Low grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma in the floor of the mouth can be surgically excised along with involved lymph node.[3][4]
- When the tumor is at an inaccessible location, clinical trial therapies (especially for stage IV disease) including:
- Therapeutic drugs
- Radiation
- Stem cell transplantation
- Monoclonal antibodies
- Either singly or in combination of various therapies
- Follow-up care with regular screening and check-ups are important[5]
Indications
- Indications for surgery for mucoepidermoid carcinoma, include:[6]
- Biological and histological features suitable for surgery
