Abstract:
Presented here are the salivary gland tumors now recognized to have significant and highly prevalent translocations. These include both common and uncommon malignancies: mucoepidermoid carcinoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma, mammary analog secretory carcinoma, and clear cell carcinoma. These mutations have potential diagnostic applications, particularly in difficult and challenging variant morphologies are unusually challenging differential diagnoses. Practical applications of the molecular pathology of these tumors is discussed. The mutational assessment may also prove to have therapeutic importance, as targeted therapies may be generated for these tumors in the future.

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
