Perineural and intraneural invasion as prognostic indicators in salivary gland malignancies – An 18-year institutional retrospective analysis

Key Points

• Prognostic indicators show that perineural and intraneural invasion significantly affect patient outcomes in salivary gland malignancies.
• The analysis covered 18 years of patient records, highlighting a correlation between invasion types and survival rates.
• Retrospective analysis of institutional data identified key features of intraneural and perineural invasion as critical in malignancy progression.
• These findings imply the need for enhanced diagnostic measures to address the complexities of salivary gland cancers.
