about 6 days ago The trigeminal nerve is one of twelve nerves that leave the brain via holes in the skull. These nerves are known as cranial nerves and are numbered. The trigeminal nerve is the 5th cranial nerve. Like all cranial nerves, the trigeminal nerve is a pair with one on each side of the head. It leaves the skull through a hole in front of the ear and splits into three branches that lead to different parts of the face, as shown in the diagram. These are the ophthalmic nerve, the maxillary nerve, and the mandibular nerve. The trigeminal nerve is mainly a sensory nerve- this means it carries information about sensations to the brain. It also has some motor functions — this means it carries signals from the brain that tell muscles to move. The ophthalmic nerve is a sensory branch and carries sensations from the top part of the face including the area around the eye. It also carries sensations from the outside of the eyeball itself. However, it is not responsible for eyesight and damage to the nerve does not result in loss of vision. The maxillary nerve is also a sensory branch and carries sensations from the middle part of the face around the cheeks and nose. It is not responsible for the sense of smell and damage to the nerve does not result in loss of smell. The mandibular nerve is both a sensory and motor branch. It carries sensations from the lower part of the face around the jaw and mouth. It also supplies the muscles used for chewing and is needed to chew. The trigeminal nerve passes close to the parotid salivary gland in front of the ear and can be affected by cancers growing in that gland. If these cancers press on the nerve and squish it or grow along the nerve, it can cause damage to the nerve that results in changes to the sensation of the face. At the severe end, this can result in the complete loss of sensation. Damage to the nerve can also affect the ability to chew. #TrigeminalNerve #RareCancerResearch #RareDiseaseResearch #CancerResearch #SalivaryGlandCancerResearch #MedicalResearch #trismus @SGCancerUK

As a consultant radiographer and researcher, Nicola has dedicated her work to improving outcomes for people affected by head and neck cancer. But her connection to this cause is not just professional. It is deeply personal.

Motivated by her own experiences and the stories of patients she has worked with, Nicola took her commitment beyond the clinic and into the world of fundraising, choosing to run 26.2 miles to raise awareness and support for our salivary gland cancer community. Salivary gland cancers as rare head and neck cancers, are often overlooked.

💡 Research Update: New hope for mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) treatment

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is the most common salivary gland cancer, yet treatment options remain limited. Surgery and radiotherapy can impact quality of life, and chemotherapy offers little success.

New research from teams in Brazil and the UK has explored an approach going for a new drug target (the CREB pathway), which drives the growth of cancer. A brand new drug (known CREB inhibitor called 666.15) was tested on MEC cells with differing genotypes.

A good effect at killing cancer cells was seen which may benefit up to half of MEC patients who express a so-called fusion gene. This new drug reduced cancer cell survival, slowed cell migration, and increased levels of E-cadherin, a protein that inhibits metastasis. The effect of the inhibitor was found to vary according to whether the cells expressed the fusion gene.

👉 While early-stage, this research underscores the potential for personalized medicine in MEC treatment.

Adenocarcinoma Not Otherwise Specified (AdCaNOS) is a rare salivary gland cancer that lacks defining features and does not fit the criteria for other known types of salivary gland cancer.

AdCaNOS affects more men than women and most patients are diagnosed in their late 50s.

AdCaNOS normally form as a solid painless lump in the parotid gland or in the minor salivary glands.

Most cases of AdCaNOS that occur in the minor salivary glands, form in the roof of the mouth, otherwise known as the palate.

Experts can diagnose AdCaNOS by looking at cells under a microscope and ruling out more common salivary gland cancers.

AdCaNOS is an aggressive tumour, that can spread to other parts of the body.

Tumours in the mouth have a better long-term outlook than those found in the submandibular gland (below the jaws) or parotid gland.

The main treatment is surgery to remove the entire cancer, and in some cases, this is followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

You can find more resources and further information on Adenocarcinoma NOS research and treatment on our website.

Update: Action on Salivary Gland Cancer and Rare Cancers Bill second reading in Parliament on Friday March 14th

Last month saw significant discussions about salivary gland cancers in Westminster. A pivotal moment for rare cancer advocacy.

On World Cancer Day Josh Fenton-Glynn MP highlighted the urgent need for research into rare cancers, including acinic cell carcinoma that he sadly lost his brother to. His remarks came in response to the launch of the National Cancer Plan, emphasizing the critical need to invest in rare cancer research. You can view the Parliamentary question here: https://lnkd.in/evZcFRRV.

Later in the month we joined Cancer52 and key stakeholders for a roundtable discussion on the pressing issue of early diagnosis for rare cancers. It was a fantastic opportunity to share our work in updating primary care guidelines, which are crucial for improving early detection and shaping healthcare practices and policies. You can read the full Cancer52 report here: https://lnkd.in/er38E5Vv

Looking ahead, on March 14th The Rare Cancers Bill will have its second reading in parliament. This Private Members Bill introduced by Dr. Scott Arthur MP, aims to raise awareness and address challenges faced by the rare cancer research community. The Bill will proposes three key, cost-effective measures for the Department of Health and Social Care:

1. Appoint a named responsible person who is responsible for overseeing the delivery of research into rare cancer treatments.
2. Commit the DHSC to review the UK's Orphan Drug Regulations within two
years of the Bill's passing.
3. Improve data access for clinical trials with a bespoke contact registry for rare cancers through the NIHR's 'Be Part of Research' online tool.

For more details, visit the Bill's page: https://lnkd.in/eH9H64ST.

It is fantastic to see this focussed activity on rare cancers such as ours. This is a critical moment for rare cancer research - please do share the word and support the bill.

RESEARCH UPDATE: Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma (ACC) of the breast, often classed as Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) needs tailored treatment plans. A new study reveals late recurrence and low survival rates.

While ACC of the breast is slow-growing and treatable, it can be easily misdiagnosed as other forms of more aggressive breast cancer due to its status as a triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).

Less than 1% of all breast cancers are Adenoid Cystic Carcinomas.

Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma (ACC) is a rare type of cancer that most commonly affects the salivary glands — about 1 in 10 salivary gland cancers (SGCs) are ACCs.

While ACC primarily affects the salivary glands, it can also occur in the nasopharynx, trachea, cervix, skin, lungs, kidneys, and, extremely rarely, in the breast.

A recent study by Britton et al (2025) looked at how ACC of the breast progresses and compares to other types of ACC.

They analysed data from 450 ACC patients (16 of whom had ACC of the breast) diagnosed between 1990 and 2020. The researchers retrospectively reviewed disease characteristics, treatment, and survival outcomes.

You can read the key findings and view the poster presented at SABCS (2024) on our website.

about 2 months ago The maxilla is the bone that forms the upper jaw. It holds the upper teeth, shapes the middle of the face, and supports the nose. In addition to providing a key bone structure to the skull, the maxilla also plays an important role in chewing and speaking. It includes: • the upper jawbone, including the front part of the hard palate (or roof of your mouth) • the lower part of your eye sockets • the lower parts and sides of your sinus and nasal cavities The maxilla is fused to other important bones in the head, including the zygomatic bone (cheekbones), the palatine bone that makes up the back of the hard palate, the nasal bone that makes up the bridge of your nose and the nasal septum. Many facial muscles are also connected to the maxilla. These muscles allow you to chew, smile and make a range of facial expressions. For some people who have a salivary gland cancer tumour that has grown into the area behind the maxilla, it may be necessary for parts of the bone to be removed during surgery to gain access to the tumour and remove it. Parts of the maxilla may also need to be removed if the cancer has invaded the bone itself. If you need such surgery, a Restorative Dentist will work with you to create a custom-made obturator. This is a removable dental prosthesis that seals any gaps in the roof of your mouth. Sometimes, an obturator also replaces any teeth lost from your jaw. This can also be done on a separate dental plate. #RestorativeDentist #Maxilla #MaxillaBone #SalivaryGlandCancer #SGCUK #SalivaryGlandCancerUK #CancerPreventionActionWeek #CancerPreventionActionWeek2025 #Maxillectomy @SGCancerUK
