Patients with locally advanced/recurrent or oligometastatic salivary gland carcinoma will be stratified by HER2, NTRK, AR, TROP-2, etc., and receive precision-targeted or chemotherapy regimens, with efficacy (objective response rate, etc.) and safety of neoadjuvant/conversion therapy evaluated.
To assess the efficacy of post-operative adjuvant therapy guided by minimal residual disease (MRD) testing in locally advanced salivary gland carcinoma.
Patients with locally advanced/recurrent or symptomatic, rapidly progressive metastatic salivary gland carcinoma who are intolerant of or refuse surgery and radiotherapy will be molecularly stratified and treated with precision regimens, with efficacy (objective response rate, etc.) and safety of salvage therapy evaluated.
To evaluate efficacy (objective response rate, etc.) and safety of later-line therapy for locally advanced/recurrent or distant metastatic salivary gland carcinoma.
Using multi-omic approaches to explore salivary gland carcinoma heterogeneity and biomarkers associated with recurrence, metastasis, treatment response and prognosis.
To investigate concordance between drug-sensitivity testing using ex-vivo 3D tumour models and actual clinical outcomes, and to guide later-line treatment selection based on drug-sensitivity results.
The diagnostic and prognostic value of fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (FAPI) PET/CT for salivary gland cancer: All patients undergo routine standard examinations (FDG PET/CT) and FAPI PET/CT before and after treatment. Two independent blinded reading teams separately evaluate the two sets of images to provide diagnosis, staging, and follow-up on patient prognosis.
