Salivary gland cancer affects the major and minor salivary glands responsible for producing saliva in your mouth. This rare malignancy accounts for approximately 3-5% of all head and neck cancers, making specialized treatment crucial for positive outcomes.
The condition typically develops in the parotid glands, submandibular glands, or sublingual glands. Early detection and prompt intervention significantly improve treatment success rates. Common symptoms include persistent swelling, facial numbness, difficulty swallowing, and unexplained pain in the jaw or neck area.
Dr. Nishant Sanghavi, our lead oncological surgeon at Zanish Cancer Hospital, emphasizes that timely diagnosis and expert surgical intervention are critical factors in achieving successful treatment outcomes for salivary gland cancer patients.

We treat all types of salivary gland malignancies including adenoid cystic carcinoma, mucoepidermoid carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. Our team has extensive experience with both common and rare salivary gland tumor types.
Recovery time varies depending on the extent of surgery and individual healing factors. Most patients can expect initial healing within 2-3 weeks, with full recovery typically occurring within 6-8 weeks. Dr. Nishant Sanghavi provides detailed recovery timelines during consultation.
Our surgeons use advanced nerve-sparing techniques to preserve facial function whenever oncologically safe. While temporary weakness may occur, most patients experience good functional recovery within several months post-surgery.
