Overview
Effective measures for the secondary prevention of pleomorphic adenoma include timely radiologic imaging, blood tests, avoiding working at risk environments like rubber and asbestos industries, minimizing head and neck irradiation as much as possible.
Secondary Prevention
- Secondary preventive measures include timely screening at regular intervals with routine physical examination, radiological imaging, and blood tests.
- Individuals those who are working in rubber and asbestos industries should be advised to seek an alternative job.
- If possible advise the patients to minimize unnecessary radiation exposure to head and neck region.
- Once diagnosed and successfully treated, patients with pleomorphic adenoma are followed-up every 6 or 12 months.
