Biological Rationale and Clinical Evidence of Carbon Ion Radiation Therapy for Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma: A Narrative Review

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare, basaloid, epithelial tumor, arising mostly from salivary glands. Radiation therapy can be employed as a single modality for unresectable tumors, in an adjuvant setting after uncomplete resection, in case of high-risk pathological features, or for recurrent t...
