about 11 days ago A Huge Week for SGC UK at IAOO 2025! What an incredible week it's been for Salivary Gland Cancer UK at IAOO 2025 in Liverpool – the biggest head and neck cancer gathering in the UK! 🎉 It was truly inspiring to be back among so many dedicated professionals and connect with our global community. Your support helps us make a real impact, and this week was proof! Here's a peek at what we achieved: Sharing Patient Power: Our very own Co-Founder, Emma Kinloch, delivered a keynote speech all about making sure patient voices are heard in research. She, of course, also spread the word about our upcoming Salivary Gland Cancer Day on October 4, 2025! Expert Discussions: We were part of an expert panel discussing the "Evolution in Salivary Cancer Care," bringing together leading minds from around the world to talk about improving treatments. Showcasing Research: Our funded research was highlighted in presentations, including one by Dr. Sam Rack on improving diagnosis and another by Milad Tavakoli from Leeds on quality improvement initiatives. This means real progress thanks to your support! Connecting & Spreading Awareness: Our dedicated stall was buzzing! Huge thanks to our amazing network members, Sally Crowe and Nicola Freeman, who helped us meet people from all corners of the globe. We even captured some fantastic photos with our SGC Awareness Day banner – thank you to everyone who took part! It was great to be back in Liverpool, though we still haven't managed to get on that Ferris wheel! 😂 Maybe next time! Thank you, as always, for being part of our incredible #OneCommunityOneCause. Together, we're making a difference! 💙 #SGCUK #SalivaryGlandCancer #CommunityStrong #CancerAwareness @SGCancerUK
about 13 days ago Do you know about Myoepithelial Carcinoma (MC)? It's a rare and often aggressive salivary gland cancer, making up less than 2% of all SGC tumours. MC can be challenging to diagnose due to its varied appearance under the microscope. It often behaves more aggressively, with symptoms developing quickly and a higher chance of invading nearby tissues or spreading to lymph nodes. While most common in the parotid gland, MC can appear anywhere in the head and neck. Symptoms might include a fast-growing lump, pain, or facial weakness. Treatment usually involves surgery and radiotherapy, ideally at a specialist centre. Because MC is so rare, raising awareness is crucial for better diagnosis, treatment, and research to improve patient outcomes.

about a month ago Did you know some treatments for salivary gland cancer can affect our ears and hearing? Hearing difficulties can occur during radiotherapy or as a late-onset side effect some months or even years after treatment. Not everyone who has radiotherapy in the head or neck will experience problems with their hearing. The dose and type of radiation therapy used, as well as the location of the tumour site are all factors that affect how likely it is that hearing loss develops. Learn more about how treatment affects our ears and hearing: #SGCUK #SalivaryGlandCancer #HeadAndNeckCancer #CancerAwareness #tinnitus @SGCancerUK
The UK's Royal College of Pathologists (RCPath) has updated its guidance for reporting salivary gland cancers following publication of the 5th edition of the World Health Organisation (WHO) classification of Head and Neck tumours.

The WHO has classified 15 types of benign tumours and 21 types of malignant tumours of the salivary glands. These classifications are crucial for standardising cancer reporting methods and advancing diagnosis and treatment.

Pathologists at the The University of Sheffield have provided an overview of the new RCPath dataset in the journal Diagnostic Histopathology. Expert Pathologists across the country contributed to these guidelines, led by Professor Ali Khurram.

Some treatments for salivary gland cancers can affect your ears and hearing.

Hearing difficulties can occur during radiotherapy or as a late-onset side effect some months or even years after treatment.

In many cases where some hearing loss occurs, symptoms begin to develop in the first two years after treatment ends.

Not everyone who has radiotherapy in the head or neck will experience problems with their hearing. The dose and type of radiation therapy used, as well as the location of the tumour site are all factors that affect how likely it is that hearing loss develops.

🔬 New Research Blog: Tracheal Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma (ACC)

Why does studying tracheal ACC matter? And how can biobanks help researchers make progress in such a rare and understudied cancer?

Our latest blog explores the importance of understanding tracheal ACC, the role of tissue donation, and how research can lead to better care and outcomes for patients.

For rare cancers like this, every sample and every study counts.

about 2 months ago Looking Back On ESMO Rare Cancers 2025 💙 What a fantastic and productive conference #ESMORareCancers25 was earlier this year! Dr Metcalf delivered an excellent mini oral presentation on behalf of our UK Salivary Gland Cancer Research Working Group (UKSGCRWG), titled: “Advancing Salivary Gland Cancer Research: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Addressing the Unmet Clinical Need.” We were also proud to present a second piece of work by another UKSGCRWG member: “Clinical Trials for Patients with Salivary Gland Cancers: A Systematic Review of Worldwide Registers and an Evaluation of Current Challenges.” It was a privilege to connect with colleagues across Europe and the US, and to share our vision for collaborative, multidisciplinary progress in salivary gland cancer research. Events like ESMO Rare provide an invaluable platform for sharing knowledge, exploring new therapies, and driving forward meaningful change in rare cancer care. We’re already looking forward to what 2026 brings. #SGCUK #SalivaryGlandCancer #RareCancers #CancerResearch #Oncology #UKSGCRWG #ESMO #ESMORareCancers25 #CollaborativeScience #ClinicalTrials #HeadAndNeckCancer #ResearchMatters @SGCancerUK
It's National Patient Data Day on June 24th, recognising the power of patient data to drive real change in healthcare.

At the inaugural event in Leeds, hosted by use MY data, Emma will be leading a panel to discuss 'How can we establish a UK-wide data environment to help in the research of less common diseases, where a multi-nation view is essential?'. She will be joined by LifeArc's Rebecca Cosgriff and Jo Gumbs from Ocular Melanoma UK for what promises to be an insightful and productive session.

For rare cancers like salivary gland cancer, patient data is especially important. It helps researchers understand patterns, improve treatments, and highlight where research and support is most needed.
