Most common histologies were mucoepidermoid carcinoma (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0=\u00a014), acinic cell carcinoma (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0=\u00a05), and adenoid cystic carcinoma (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0=\u00a05). Eight patients with radiographic lymphadenopathy underwent neck dissection prior to presentation, with selective dissections involving &lt;4 nodal levels in 7\/8 cases. The gross tumor volume (GTV) encompassed the residual tumor and tumor bed. Clinical target volume (CTV1), defined as GTV\u00a0+\u00a01\u00a0cm margin, received 50.4\u00a0Gy. Prophylactic nodal irradiation was administered to three patients. CTV2 equaled the GTV and was treated to a median total dose of 64.8\u00a0Gy (range, 61.2\u201370.8).

Overall survival (OS) was 96%, and local control was 94%. There were no nodal recurrences. Acute toxicities were limited to mucositis requiring opioids and transient Grade 3 dermatitis. The most serious late toxicity involved the auditory system, including three patients requiring hearing aids, one with chronic otitis media, one with osteonecrosis of the mastoid, and one with external canal stenosis. There was neither Grade 4 toxicity nor second malignancy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Conservative neck management and moderate\u2010dose PT delivered to smaller volumes resulted in excellent long\u2010term disease control and limited toxicity in children with common salivary gland tumors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/pbc.31571","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,13]],"date-time":"2025-02-13T23:08:51Z","timestamp":1739488131000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Long\u2010Term Outcomes Following Radiotherapy for Pediatric Salivary Gland Tumors"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"72","author":[{"given":"Etzer M.","family":"Augustin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiation Oncology University of Florida College of Medicine  Jacksonville Florida USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5765-1873","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniel J.","family":"Indelicato","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiation Oncology University of Florida College of Medicine  Jacksonville Florida USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Julie A.","family":"Bradley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiation Oncology University of Florida College of Medicine  Jacksonville Florida USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"suffix":"IV","given":"E.
