Risk of breast cancer after a salivary gland tumor in the Netherlands
Clinical implications: Women with a SGC or SGPA have a moderately increased risk of BC, compared to women in the general population. The relative risk for BC in patients with SGC or SGPA (together almost 75% of salivary gland tumors) is of similar magnitude as in patients who have one of various classical BC risk factors. However, the magnitude of the relative risk is no reason for recommending an intensified follow-up schedule. Nevertheless, our study should raise awareness of a slightly increased risk of developing BC among female patients diagnosed with SGC or SGPA and their treating physicians.
