Genetic study for salivary gland cancer using stored tissue samples
Part of Cancer, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial studies the genetic activity (gene expression) in tumor tissue from people with salivary gland cancer. It aims to improve understanding of these cancers and may help guide future treatment decisions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have a diagnosis of salivary gland cancer (confirmed by a biopsy).
- A sample of your tumor tissue must be available from 2013 or later.
- If you are alive, you must be able to give permission for your tissue to be used. For samples from deceased patients, permission is not needed as long as there is no objection.
- You cannot have a different type of head and neck cancer or thyroid cancer.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at immune cells and substances in blood, saliva, and stool from people with salivary gland cancer. The goal is to find markers that could help predict how the disease behaves.
This study collects blood and saliva to look for inherited gene changes in people who have been diagnosed with cancer. It may help researchers understand what genetic risks could be involved, which could guide future cancer care.
This study looks at certain genes and proteins in the saliva of people with oral cavity cancer. It aims to find markers that might help with diagnosis or treatment planning, before any cancer therapy has started.
This trial tests whether a laboratory-grown mini-tumor (organoid) from your biopsy can predict which drugs will work best for your recurrent or metastatic salivary gland cancer. You would need to provide a tumor sample and have adequate organ function.
This study looks at diseases that involve the salivary (saliva) glands, and may also include people with active hepatitis, oral cancer, or healthy adults. Researchers collect blood, urine, saliva, and sometimes tissue to better understand what’s happening and how these conditions relate to saliva and oral health.
This trial tests a personalized treatment approach for recurrent or metastatic salivary gland cancer. It uses special tests on your tumor to find the best targeted therapy for your specific cancer type.
