Abstract
Salivary gland cancers are rare in general and salivary duct carcinoma and epithelial myoepithelial carcinomas are rare subtypes. This topic discussion will review the characteristics of these uncommon cancers. Additionally, it will briefly discuss available guidelines for salivary cancers and summarize author opinions on the role of adjuvant radiation therapy for these cases.
