Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma
Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma (ACC) is a rare type of cancer that primarily affects the salivary glands, but it can also occur in other areas such as the breast, skin, and respiratory tract. This cancer is characterized by slow growth and can be challenging to diagnose due to its subtle symptoms.
The treatment for ACC often involves surgical removal of the tumor, and radiation therapy may be used to target any remaining cancer cells. Despite its slow growth, ACC has a tendency to recur and can spread to other parts of the body, making ongoing monitoring essential for patients.
