Salivary Gland Carcinoma

Back to Diseases List
Associated Genetic Biomarkers

Overview

NCI Definition: A carcinoma that arises from the major or minor salivary glands. Representative examples include carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma, adenocarcinoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma, and mucoepidermoid carcinoma. [1]

Salivary gland carcinomas most frequently harbor alterations in TP53, NOTCH1, PIK3CA, CDKN2A, and ERBB2 [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Salivary Gland Carcinoma

TP53 Mutation, TP53 c.217-c.1178 Missense, TP53 Missense, PIK3CA Mutation, and NOTCH1 Mutation are the most common alterations in salivary gland carcinoma [2].
