What are the chances of recurrence if the initial tumor is removed with clean margins?
AdCC may recur at the primary site shortly after removal or many years after removal. Additionally, one source says that about 40% or more of individuals may experience metastasis to other sites, particularly the lungs. This is reportedly up to two times more likely with tumors of the submandibular salivary gland than with tumors of the parotid gland.
