Squamous cell carcinoma originating in the parotid gland has rare occurrence. The primary squamous cell carcinoma of the parotid gland comprise about 0.3% and 9.8% of all parotid malignant tumor. We investigated the clinical behavior and treatment outcome of patients with primary squamous cell carcinoma of the parotid gland. We reviewed all cases of possible primary squamous cell carcinoma of the parotid gland treated at Yonsei Cancer Center, Seoul, Korea, from 1981 through 1995. A total of 128 had primary parotid malignancy. Metastatic squamous cell carcinoma and mucoepidermoid carcinoma were excluded in this study. Ten cases of primary squamous cell carcinoma of the parotid gland were identified. 6 cases of them are men & 4 cases are women. The age of patients ranged from 31 to 68 years with median age of 55 years. On physical examination, 5 cases had palpated cervical neck node and 6 cases had facial nerve palsy. Staging was done according to the current guidelines established by the American Joint Committee on Cancer (1992). Two cases were stage I, 1 in stage III, and 7 in stage IV. Six cases were performed operation and postoperative radiation therapy. Four cases were treated by curative radiation therapy, dose of more than 65 Gy on parotid gland region. The 5 year actual survival rate and the 5 year disease free survival rate were 30.8%, and 40.0%. Initial complete response rate was 70% for all patients. Local failure were occurred 3 of 7 patients with local controlled cases, failure sites were primary site, ipsilateral cervical neck node, contralateral supraclavicular node. Most recurrences developed within 1 year of initial treatment. Distant metastasis was appeared 2 of 3 patients who did not achieved local control. Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the parotid gland occured infrequently. A retrospective study at the Yonsei Cancer Center indicates incidence of 7.8%. At diagnosis, advanced stage, neck node presentation, facial nerve paralysis were associated with a poor prognosis. These results may suggested that radical surgical excision may be treatment of choice and that planned postoperative radiotherapy may be bendicial for reducing locoregional recurrence rates.

The authors reviewed 106 cases of parotid gland tumor at Presbyterian Medical Center seen during the past 10 years between January, 1986 and December, 1995. The results were obtained as follows; 1) 86 cases(81.1%) were benign tumors and 20 cases(18.9%) were malignant tumors. 2) Overall male and female sex ratio was 1 : 1.4. 3) For benign tumors, the mean age was 47.9 and for malignant tumors, the mean age was 43.4. 4) Clinical manifestations in benign tumors were palpable mass in 86 cases(100%), pain in 6 cases(6.9%), facial nerve palsy in 2 cases(2.3%), lymphadenopathy in 1 case(1.2%); and in malignant tumors, palpable mass in 20 cases(100%), pain in 7 cases(35%), facial nerve palsy in 2 cases(10%) and lymphadenopathy in 3 cases(15%). Thus, the presence of pain, facial nerve palsy and lymphadenopathy suggest malignant tumors. 5) Operative procedures in benign tumors included superficial parotidectomy in 53 cases(61.6%), total parotidectomy in 10 cases(11.6%), local excision in 23 cases(26.7%); and in malignant tumors, superficial parotidectomy in 3 cases, total parotidectomy in 1 case, local excision in 1 case, superficial parotidectomy with supraomohyoid neck dissection in 6 cases, total parotidectomy with supraomohyoid neck dissection in 8 cases, total parotidectomy with radical neck dissection in 1 case. 6) Postoperative complications in benign tumors were transient facial nerve palsy in 14 cases, Frey's syndrome in 2 cases. In malignant tumors complications included transient facial nerve palsy in 3 cases and permanent facial nerve palsy in 1 case. 7) Pleomorphic adenoma was the most common benign parotid tumor and mucoepidermoid carcinoma was the most common malignant tumor. 8) In our review of 20 patients with malignant parotid tumors, all patients who received supraomohyoid neck dissection and postoperative radiation therapy remain alive from 1986 to 1995 years. Two deaths in this series were adenoid cystic carcinoma patients who failed to receive postoperative radiation therapy. These series of cases have been studied in order to determine whether supraomohyoid neck dissection and postoperative radiation therapy may have further therapeutic effect.

Objectives: The best treatment for the malignant parotid tumor still remains to be defined, and a better knowledge about the tumor features that predict the treatment result is needed. The aim of this study is to evaluate the treatment outcomes and to suggest the optimal treatment modality for the parotid cancer. Materials and Methods: The clinicopathologic characteristics of 113 patients who were treated for parotid cancer from January 1990 to December 2002 were retrospectively analysed. Univalate analyses were performed to establish the prognostic influence of pateint age, gender, tumor size, histologic grade and lymph node metastasis. Results: The mean age was 46.4 years old (15-81 years) and. The male to female ratio was 1 : 1.1. The chief complaint was a palpable mass in 85%, pain was in 12.4% and facial nerve palsy was accompanied with 2.7%. The mean tumor size was 3.5cm in diameter. The most common malignant tumor was mucoepidermoid carcinoma (33.6%), followed by acinic cell carcinoma (15%), adenoid cystic carcinoma (11%), carcinoma expleomorhpic adenoma (11%), basal cell carcinoma (7%). The most common operative procedure was total parotidectomy (47.8%) and various types of cervical lymph node dissection were added in 69.9%. Postoperative radiotherapy was done in 61.1 %. Postoperative complications developed in 54 cases (47.8%), including 46 cases (40.7%) of facial nerve palsy and 9 cases (8%) of Frey's syndrome. Recurrences developed in 21 cases (18.6%) and deaths in 15 (13.3%). Cumulative survival at 5 year was 75.4%. Univariate analysis of clinical factors showed that histologic grade and positive cervical lymph node significantly influenced survival (p<0.05). Conclusion: These results suggests that the radical resection with lymph node dissection and postopertaive XRT would be necessary to improve the survival of the patients with high grade cancer or positive lymphnode metastasis.

Purpose: To investigate the treatment results' and patterns of failure according to the pathologic type of the parotid malignancy who were treated with radical sugery and postoperative radiation therapy. Materials and Methods: Fifty-two patients with various type of the parotid malignancy, who were treated with combined radical surgery and post-operative irradiation at Yonsei Cancer Center, between 1981 and 1995, were retrospectively reviewed after completion treatment, all but one patients were follow up with the median follow up period of 49 months. Results: We found that pathologically confirmed neck node metastasis rate was 28.8% all case and level II was most common site. Overall failure rate was 26.9%, local recurrence rate was 13.5%, node failure rate was 7.7%, and distant failure rate was 5.8%. Five-year disease free survival rate was 70.9%, and overall survival rate was 73.8%. Recurrence rate was low in adenoid cystic carcinoma and acinic cell carcinoma. However distant metastasis was very high in undifferentiated carcinoma. Local recurrence was main pattern of failure in mucoepidermoid carcinoma and nodal failure was frequently observed in adenocarcinoma. Conclusion: Individualized treatment plan may be required to improve a treatment outcome by pathologic subtype of the parotid malignancy.

There have been few large scale surveys of salivary gland tumors, because the salivary gland tumors comprised less than 3 percent of all neoplasms of the head and neck. Also there is a problem that the incidences of specific types of tumors have the variation according to the geographic regions. ]'nother Korean reports about salivary gland tumor, they only treated about 100 cases only. Objectives : The purpose of this study is to identify the frequency and clinical characteristics of salivary gland tumors and to compare with other Korean reports. Materials and Methods : We had performed to analyze 387 cases of salivary gland tumors from 1983 to June 1997, were reviewed in histopathological and clinical aspects. The diagnoses of individual tumors were based on the World Health Organization classification. Tumors were analyzed according to the histologic type site, age and sex. Results : The majority (79.1%) of cases occurred in the major salivary glands and 20.9% in the minor. The parotid gland was the most frequent site with 52.4％ and submandibular glands with 26.3%. Benign tumors were 79.3% of the tumors and malignant tmon were 20.7%. The most frequent tumor was pleomorphic adenoma occupied 63.8% of the total and frequency percent of histologic type of 98 malignant tumors showed 35.7% of mucoepidermoid carcinomas, 24.5% of adenoid cystic carcinomas. Overall gender with female predominance with 1 : 1.4 of male to female ratio. The average age of patients was 42.8 years. The most frequent chief complaint was a palpable mass. The duration of the symptom was shorter in the malignant salivary gland tumors (26.7 months) than in the benign salivary gland tumors (38.2 months). Conclusion : Comparing to the previous Korean reports, the present study confirms that the incidence of salivary gland tumor was lower in the parotid gland, and was higher in the submandibular and minor salivary glands.

Airway mucus secretion is an essential innate immune response for host protection. However, overproduction and hypersecretion of mucus, mainly composed of the gel-forming MUC5AC protein, are significant risk factors for patients with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) signaling pathway negatively regulates MUC5AC expression; however, the underlying molecular mechanism is not fully understood. Here, we showed that TGFβ significantly reduces the expression of MUC5AC mRNA and its protein in NCI-H292 cells, a human mucoepidermoid carcinoma cell line. This reduced MUC5AC expression was restored by a TGFβ receptor inhibitor (SB431542), but not by the inhibition of NF-κB (BAY11-7082 or Triptolide) or PI3K (LY294002) activities. TGFβ-activated Smad3 dose-dependently bound to MUC5AC promoter. Notably, TGFβ-activated Smad3 recruited HDAC2 and facilitated nuclear translocation of HDAC2, thereby inducing the deacetylation of NF-κB at K310, which is essential for a reduction in NF-κB transcriptional activity. Both TGFβ-induced nuclear translocation of Smad3/HDAC2 and deacetylation of NF-κB at K310 were suppressed by a Smad3 inhibitor (SIS3). These results suggest that the TGFβ-activated Smad3/HDAC2 complex is an essential negative regulator for MUC5AC expression and an epigenetic regulator for NF-κB acetylation. Therefore, these results collectively suggest that modulation of the TGFβ1/Smad3/HDAC2/NF-κB pathway axis can be a promising way to improve lung function as a treatment strategy for asthma and COPD.
