Overview

Patients with acinic cell carcinoma have many treatment options. The selection depends on the stage of the tumor. The options are surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of these methods.

• Surgery: Surgery is usually the main form of treatment for resectable salivary gland cancers.
• Radiation therapy: High-energy x-rays and other types of radiations are used to kill cancer cells from keep growing.
• Chemotherapy: The treatment is to use drugs to stop the growth of cancer cells either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.
