Overview
The mainstay of therapy for salivary gland tumor is surgery.[1][2]

Surgery for salivary gland tumors includes the following procedures:[1][2]
- Superficial parotidectomy (removal of part of the parotid gland) is done to treat low-grade tumors of the superficial portion of the parotid gland.
- A total parotidectomy (removal of the parotid gland) is done for all tumors other than superficial tumors of the parotid gland.
- A submandibular sialadenectomy (removal of the submandibular gland) is used for tumors of the submandibular gland.
