Abstract

Objective: The present review focuses on the morphological, pathological, and molecular level resemblance of salivary and mammary gland neoplasms with emphasis on the current status of hormonal therapy strategies in salivary gland tumors. Methods: Literature review developed in compliance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and data collected from PubMed, Cochrane, Wiley library, and other related reference articles. Results: The expression of hormonal receptors was found to be demonstrated frequently in salivary duct carcinoma, followed by a few other malignant tumors like carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma (PA), adenocarcinoma not otherwise specified (NOS) and mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC). Conclusion: The similarities in the morphology, biology, and molecular changes between the salivary gland and breast tumors form the basis for the detection of hormonal receptors and the use of antihormonal therapies. The novel treatment strategies of antihuman epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (anti-HER2) and anti-androgen receptor (AR) are currently found to be effective in unresectable/rapidly progressive tumors and in multiple tumor recurrence cases for a few salivary gland tumor histologies.
