Abstract
The evidence as to the prognostic significance of perineural invasion in adenoid cystic carcinoma of the salivary glands is equivocal. Nevertheless, many head and neck surgeons and oncologists take account of histologically proven perineural invasion when planning treatment for adenoid cystic carcinoma. This review presents a digest of the data showing how neural involvement by adenoid cystic carcinoma of the salivary glands relates to local anatomy, and how this influences the extent of surgery and planning of radiotherapy.

Current progress in Protein Degradation and Cancer Therapy
argeted Protein Degradation is gaining momentum in cancer therapy, it facilitate targeting undruggable proteins, it overcome cancer resistance and avoid undesirable side effects. Thus small molecules degraders have emerged as novel therapeutic strategy. Targeted protein degradation (TPD), the process of eliminating a protein of interest hold a great promise for ...read more
