Abstract
OBJECTIVE Salivary gland carcinomas (SGC) are a heterogeneous group of malignancies, with 24 subtypes defined by the World Health Organization (WHO). The standard of therapy is surgical resection, with adjuvant radiotherapy in most cases. However, disease recurrence (R) or metastasis (M) is common and no active systemic therapies are currently available for RM-SGC resulting in a 5-year survival rate of only 20%. PATIENTS AND METHODS Overall, 55 SGC patients with seven different histological tumor subtypes were included in this study. formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples were used for immunohistochemical (IHC) staining targeting HER2/neu, androgen receptor (AR), PD-L1, EGFR, panTRK, and TROP2. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was performed for detecting HER2/neu amplifications and NTRK1/2/3 translocations in selected cases with relevant HER2/neu and panTRK protein expression, respectively. IHC and FISH results were correlated with patients' clinical and histopathological data. RESULTS The overall prevalence of druggable molecular alterations, defined as an immunoreactive score ≥ 9 in at least one of the analyzed targets, was 54.4% with the highest percentage in oncocytic carcinomas (100%) and lowest percentage in acinic cell carcinomas (10%). EGFR overexpression proved to be the most common alteration (32.7% of cases) followed by overexpression of TROP2 (27.3%), AR (10.9%), HER2/neu (7.3%), PD-L1 (1.8%), and panTRK (1.8%). HER2/neu amplifications were found in 50% and NTRK translocations were found in 100% of all cases with elevated Her2/neu and panTRK protein expression, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Our data indicate that targeted therapy using e.g., trastuzumab deruxtecan, bicalutamide, pembrolizumab, cetuximab, entrectinib or sacituzumab govitecan might be a promising option especially for a relevant subset of patients with RM-SGC not suitable for salvage surgery. However, evidence from clinical studies regarding response rates to these therapies remains sparse, which underlines the need of multicenter clinical trials.

Abstract
Salivary gland carcinomas are a rare and heterogeneous group of malignant tumors, accounting for 3-6% of all malignant tumors in the head and neck region. The 1-, 3- and 5-year survival rates are 83%, 69% and 63% respectively. Due to new molecular pathological and genetic findings, new entities are constantly being defined as part of the recurring WHO classification of salivary gland carcinomas, so that the incidence rates of the entities are subject to constant change. The only certain risk factor for the development of salivary gland carcinomas is ionizing radiation. In addition, large tumors, cervical lymph node involvement and perineural sheath involvement significantly worsen the prognosis. Today, molecular pathology is coming to the fore, with which potential targets have been identified that can offer prognosis-improving treatment options, particularly in recurrent or distant metastatic stages. Entity-specific tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as axitinib in adenoid cystic carcinoma or larotrectinib in secretory carcinoma and cross-entity therapies such as HER2 inhibition and androgen deprivation can prolong median and progression-free survival with a favorable side effect profile.

Abstract
High-grade carcinomas of the salivary glands are a group of several tumor entities with highly malignant histologic appearances, and have an aggressive biological behavior accompanied by poor a prognosis. In general, they require more intensive treatment than low- or intermediate-grade carcinomas. High-grade salivary carcinomas are rare and the microscopic features often overlap between different tumor types, making an appropriate diagnosis challenging in daily practice settings. However, with recent rapid advances in molecular pathology and molecular-targeted therapy in this field, there is a growing need to properly classify tumors, rather than just diagnosing the cases as "high-grade carcinomas". This leads to specific treatment strategies. In this article, we review representative high-grade salivary gland carcinomas, including salivary duct carcinoma and its histologic subtypes, high-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma, solid-type adenoid cystic carcinoma, and high-grade transformation of low- or intermediate-grade carcinomas, and discuss their differential diagnoses and clinical implications. Other rare entities, such as neuroendocrine carcinoma, NUT carcinoma, and metastatic carcinoma, should also be considered before diagnosing high-grade carcinoma, NOS. Of these tumors, salivary duct carcinoma has received the most attention because of its strong association with androgen deprivation and anti-HER2 therapies. Other tumor-type-specific treatments include anti-TRK therapy for high-grade transformation of secretory carcinoma, but further therapeutic options are expected to be developed in the future. It should be emphasized that detailed histological evaluation with adequate sampling, in addition to the effective use of molecular ancillary tests, is of the utmost importance for a suitable diagnosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effectiveness of radiotherapy and its association with second primary malignancies (SPMs) risk in major salivary gland carcinomas (MSGCs) patients. METHODS Cohort 1 included 7274 surgically treated MSGC patients from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database, assessing the effectiveness of radiotherapy. Cohort 2 (n = 4213) comprised patients with ≥5-year survival in Cohort 1 to study SPMs. RESULTS Radiotherapy decreased overall survival in MSGCs patients, but improved it in high-grade MSGCs. Cumulative SPMs incidences at 25 years were 16.5% in the radiotherapy (RT) group compared to 14.5% in the non-radiotherapy (NRT) group. For second head and neck carcinomas (SHNCs), incidences were 3.4% in RT versus 1.6% in NRT. Radiotherapy increased the relative risks of tumors, particularly SHNCs (RR = 1.78). The 10-year OS rates of SHNCs after radiotherapy were significantly lower. CONCLUSION Radiotherapy improves survival in advanced-stage MSGCs but increases the risk of developing SPMs, particularly SHNCs.

Abstract
Androgen receptor (AR) is a transcription factor expressed in various normal tissues and is a therapeutic target for prostate and possibly other cancers. A TMA containing 18,234 samples from 141 different tumor types/subtypes and 608 samples of 76 different normal tissue types was analyzed by immunohistochemistry. AR positivity was found in 116 tumor types including 66 tumor types (46.8%) with ≥1 strongly positive tumor. Moderate/strong AR positivity was detected in testicular sex cord-stromal tumors (93.3-100%) and neoplasms of the prostate (79.3-98.7%), breast (25.0-75.5%), other gynecological tumors (0.9-100%), kidney (5.0-44.1%), and urinary bladder (5.4-24.2%). Low AR staining was associated with advanced tumor stage (pTa versus pT2-4; p < 0.0001) in urothelial carcinoma; advanced pT (p < 0.0001), high tumor grade (p < 0.0001), nodal metastasis (p < 0.0001), and reduced survival (p = 0.0024) in invasive breast carcinoma; high pT (p < 0.0001) and grade (p < 0.0001) in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC); and high pT (p = 0.0055) as well as high grade (p < 0.05) in papillary RCC. AR staining was unrelated to histopathological/clinical features in 157 endometrial carcinomas and in 221 ovarian carcinomas. Our data suggest a limited role of AR immunohistochemistry for tumor distinction and a prognostic role in breast and clear cell RCC and highlight tumor entities that might benefit from AR-targeted therapy.

Abstract
Primary salivary gland carcinomas are not among the common head and neck tumors. They are characterized by manifold different histological types. Clinically, malignant tumors often cannot be distinguished from benign tumors, so that in these cases malignancy is only established by histopathological diagnosis. These are all reasons why there are relatively few clinical trials on the diagnosis, therapy and follow-up of these tumors. This in turn has the consequence that often only recommendations with limited evidence can be made in clinical guidelines. The most important international guidelines are the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guideline of 2023, the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) guideline of 2021, the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) guideline of 2022 and still the British National Multidisciplinary guideline of 2016. These 4 international guidelines with their strengths and limitations are presented and commented here. Against this background, the development of a first German S3 clinical guideline on salivary gland tumors is important and expected to be completed in 2023. For the first time in the German guideline program on oncology, benign and malignant tumors are presented together in order to comprehensively do justice to the special features of salivary gland tumors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A minority of patients with recurrent/metastatic (R/M) salivary gland cancers (SGCs) benefit from immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), necessitating reliable biomarkers for ICI response prediction. METHODS Retrospective observational study of R/M SGC patients treated with pembrolizumab between 2016 and 2022, with a primary outcome of 6-month progression-free survival (PFS) and secondary outcome of 2-year overall survival (OS). Univariate and multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were employed. RESULTS Twenty R/M SGC patients were included. After adjustment, NLR as a continuous variable was independently associated with 6-month PFS (HR 1.30, 95% CI 1.10-1.54, p = 0.002) and 2-year OS (HR 1.33, 95% CI 1.07-1.66, p = 0.010). Similarly, NLR ≥ 5 was associated with higher hazards of progression at 6 months (HR 12.85, 95% CI 2.17-76.16, p = 0.005) and death at 2 years (HR 11.25, 95% CI 1.67-75.77, p = 0.013). CONCLUSIONS Higher pretreatment NLR was independently associated with inferior 6-month PFS and 2-year OS in pembrolizumab-treated R/M SGC patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Most of the studies on salivary gland cancers are limited for various reasons such as being single-center, small number of patients, including only major or minor SGCs, or only including epidemiological data. METHODS A total of 37 medical oncology clinics from different regions of Turkey participated in this retrospective-multicenter study. The analyzed data included clinical and demographical features, primary treatment, metastasis localizations, and treatments and includes certain pathologic features. RESULTS The study included data from a total of 443 SGCs. 56.7% was in major salivary glands and 43.3% was in minor salivary glands. Distant metastasis in the major SGCs was statistically significantly more common than in the minor SGCs, locoregional recurrence was statistically significantly more common in the minor SGCs than in the major SGCs (p = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS Epidemiological information, metastasis and recurrence patterns, treatment modalities, and survival analysis of the patients over 20 years of follow-up are presented.
