Abstract

Salivary duct carcinoma (SDC) is considered to be a high-grade malignant tumor with morphological resemblance to invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast, and develops high mortality. We retrospectively investigated the outcomes of 7 SDC cases (1 stageI, 1 stageII and 5 stageIVa) treated in Yokohama City University from 2003 to 2011. The treatment consisted of definitive surgery, postoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy. The five-year disease specific survival rate was 83.3%, which was better than those of previous reports. Our multidisciplinary regimen might be an effective therapeutic option for SDC.
