SALIVARY GLAND CANCER UK

/in /by

Salivary Gland Cancer Research Working group

Following the closure of the National Cancer Research Institute (NCRI), this working group was tasked ‘to identify the gaps in Salivary Gland Cancer Research and develop strategic priorities for this area of research’.
In March 2024 the group met, brainstormed, shared their work and interests and, identified a list of research questions (RQ).
Following a subsequent prioritisation exercise, four workstreams were launched representing the top four priorities.
Current workstreams

RQ1 Address the utility of Guidelines for Salivary Gland Cancer (SGC) https://www.salivaryglandcancer.uk/uk-salivary-gland-cancer-research-working-group-uksgcrwg/rq-1-address-the-utility-of-guidelines-for-salivary-gland-cancers-sgc/
RQ2. Assess the variation in histopathology reporting for Salivary Gland Cancers (SGC) https://www.salivaryglandcancer.uk/uk-salivary-gland-cancer-research-working-group-uksgcrwg/rq-2-assess-the-variation-in-histopathology-reporting-for-salivary-gland-cancers-sgc/
RQ3  Standardise the decision making processes for patients who have technically operable, Salivary Gland Cancer (SGC), where the surgery carried high morbidity https://www.salivaryglandcancer.uk/uk-salivary-gland-cancer-research-working-group-uksgcrwg/rq-3-standardise-the-decision-making-processes-for-patients-who-have-technically-operable-salivary-gland-cancer-sgc-where-the-surgery-carries-high-morbidity/
RQ4. Improve the diagnostic pathway for Salivary Gland Cancer (SGC) patients https://www.salivaryglandcancer.uk/uk-salivary-gland-cancer-research-working-group-uksgcrwg/rq-4-improve-the-diagnostic-pathway-for-salivary-gland-cancer-sgc-patients/

Please note that the top four priorities are on a ‘rolling’ basis i.e we have identified a longer list of RQ’s and when possible, will move priorities up that list.  Therefore, if you are interested in joining the UK Salivary Gland Research Working Group but do not wish to join a specific RQ 1-4 workstream, we welcome your application.  Please provide the information requested below, briefly stating your interest in the Working Group rather than a specific Workstream and send to admin@salivaryglandcancer.uk.
If you would like to join the working group and/or specifically one of the workstreams, please provide the following to admin@salivaryglandcancer.uk.
Please note: The next one day workshop on Friday 9th May 2025 in Sheffield.
