About

Salivary gland tumours make up about 6% of all head and neck tumours. They have a wide range of presentations, with about 80% being benign and the rest being malignant (typically in patients >60 years of age). The diagnosis and treatment of salivary gland tumours remain complex and present a challenging problem for the head and neck surgeon. Malignant salivary glands tumours are aggressive and surgery remains the primary treatment option. Surgery is often combined with postoperative radiotherapy, depending on the specific tumour characteristics and stage. Salivary gland tumours respond poorly to chemotherapy. This talk by Mr J Bernstein, Consultant in Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery at the Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, London, will discuss the clinical presentations, surgical anatomy, pathology and the management options of these tumours. Operative ‘tips and pearls’ will also be provided.
