Abstract
The epidemiology, diagnosis and management of parotid tumors has changed in the past two- or three-decades giving rise to new risk factors, pre-operative diagnostic techniques and novel approaches to surgery with new surgical procedures.
The better understanding to the pathological behavior and the introduction of new advances in radiotherapy led to better control of locoregional malignant parotid tumors.
New approaches to surgery and better cosmetic results made parotid surgery a less complicating one where patients with an early disease can have a curative surgery with almost no apparent scar or disfigurement.
The National Cancer Institute has been a leading tertiary referral center in the whole Middle East with good results in management of parotid tumors in the past few decades.
The results displayed by NCI in the past years are intended to provide a guideline and establish a standard of care regarding the policy and procedures for diagnosis and management of parotid neoplasms all over the country.
