• Research summary

  The purpose of this study is to look at the genetic makeup (DNA sequencing) of tumour samples from patients with salivary gland cancers. The goal is to identify key changes to genes that are involved in the development and spread of cancer cells and that could potentially influence clinical decisions on how to manage salivary gland cancer.
