For this type of cancer: parotid gland cancer, high-grade, what are the treatment options?

Depends on the stage: Treatment would depend on the stage. Parotid cancer, in general, as much as possible-( if possible) -surgical resection for curative intent would be the best modality. Other modalities used include chemotherapy and radiation therapy. However, need to be aware that parotid cancer is not a very sensitive cancer to chemotherapy nor to radiation therapy. Discuss further with your oncologist. H.

Parotid tumors : Need excision. The facial nerve runs through it, and great effort is made to preserve it, but drooped face is better than positive margin. Most hi grade need xrt. Preserving the other parotid helps prevent dry mouth. Data proving chemo benefit is quite thin. I wold not take it for me.
