## Abstract ## BACKGROUND. The role of promoter methylation in the inactivation of __Eβcadherin__ (__Eβcad__) in salivary gland adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is unknown. The objective of this study was to determine the role and potential clinical implications of promoter methylation of __Eβcad__

## Abstract ## Background. Paclitaxel is not considered to be an active drug in adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the salivary glands. We report 2 consecutive cases of patients with ACC who responded to paclitaxel. ## Methods. The patients were: (1) a 58βyearβold man with recurrent ACC who devel
The chromosomal findings in 10 adenoid cystic carcinomas (ACC) of the salivary glands are described. Clonal numerical deviations as the sole anomaly were detected in four cases and structurally rearranged stemlines and sidelines in four cases. An apparently identical t(6;9)(q23;p2 I) was found in tw
## Background: Epidermal growth factor (egf) and its receptor (egfr) are involved in the development of salivary gland tumors. recently, treatment modalities for egfr inhibition have shown an enhanced clinical response in carcinomas of different locations. adenoid cystic carcinoma (acc) of salivary
The objective of this study was to clarify extracellular materials (ECMs) in adenoid cystic carcinoma (AdCC) and compare these to those found in other salivary gland tumors with myoepithelial differentiation. The ECM was examined with Papanicolaou, May-GrΓΌnwald-Giemsa (MGG), and alcian blue stain at
