Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is one of the most common salivary gland carcinomas. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signalling pathway gene mutations are important in predicting a patient's prognosis, selecting molecularly targeted drugs and estimating the efficacy of a molecular therapy. However, their significance in MEC have been poorly clarified. CRTC1/3-MAML2 fusions are specific to MEC and may...
