Adenoid cystic carcinoma can occur in several parts of the body, such as salivary glands, skin, and breast. The severity cannot be generalized, but all have some risk of recurrence and metastasis.
The malignancy of the cancer is high, the effect of treatment is poor, and the average life expectancy of patients is relatively short, and the exact cause of the disease is not clear.
Adenoid cystic carcinoma has more painless lumps in early stage, with the characteristics of infiltrative growth, spreading along blood vessels, spreading of nerves, spreading to other tissues, etc., and more complications in later stage.
The treatment of adenoid cystic carcinoma is mainly based on surgery, and when necessary, it can be combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and biological therapy, traditional Chinese medicine and other treatments can also be used to alleviate and control the condition.
Patients with adenoid cystic carcinoma should forbid smoking and alcohol, spicy and cold food, forbid eating pickled food, easy to eat light diet, and eat more high protein and high fiber food. It is necessary to cooperate with doctors and carry out active treatment.
