Moreover, cancer genomic profiling tests remain underutilized in clinical practice. These issues highlight the urgent need to elucidate the genomic landscape of SDC and its potential therapeutic relevance. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Aim:&lt;\/b&gt; This study aimed to characterize the mutational profile of recurrent and\/or metastatic SDC. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Materials and methods:&lt;\/b&gt; Data were analyzed for 207 consecutive patients with SDC registered at the Japan National Cancer Center, Center for Cancer Genomics and Advanced Therapeutics (C-CAT) between June 2019 and October 2025. Genetic mutations were determined by next-generation sequencing. Survival of patients was determined by the log-rank test and the Cox proportional hazards model. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Results:&lt;\/b&gt; The top 10 mutations in SDC were &lt;i&gt;TP53&lt;\/i&gt; (74.4%), &lt;i&gt;ERBB2&lt;\/i&gt; (52.2%), &lt;i&gt;NF1&lt;\/i&gt; (32.4%), &lt;i&gt;CDK12&lt;\/i&gt; (29.0%), &lt;i&gt;PIK3CA&lt;\/i&gt; (28.0%), &lt;i&gt;NOTCH3&lt;\/i&gt; (19.8%), &lt;i&gt;LTK&lt;\/i&gt; (18.4%), &lt;i&gt;CDKN2A&lt;\/i&gt; (18.4%), &lt;i&gt;BRCA2&lt;\/i&gt; (16.9%), &lt;i&gt;SPEN&lt;\/i&gt; (16.9%), with 17.1 7.2 (mean standard error of the mean [SEM]) mutations\/individual. &lt;i&gt;TP53&lt;\/i&gt; mutations (p = 0.005707) were associated with a significantly worse prognosis, as determined by log-rank test. The hazard ratios for cases with this mutation was 2.6390 (95% CI, 1.2180\u20135.720, p = 0.0139) for &lt;i&gt;TP53&lt;\/i&gt;. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Conclusions:&lt;\/b&gt; This study delineated the mutational spectrum of recurrent and\/or metastatic SDC. Even in advanced disease, prognostically relevant mutations were identified, emphasizing the clinical importance of cancer genomic profiling tests.<\/ns3:p>","DOI":"10.5604\/01.3001.0055.5900","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,19]],"date-time":"2026-03-19T10:16:53Z","timestamp":1773915413000},"page":"7-13","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Genetic mutations in salivary duct carcinoma"],"prefix":"10.5604","volume":"80","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9080-7259","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hiromi","family":"Nagano","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Kagoshima University Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Kagoshima, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-8523-9131","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Satoshi","family":"Kiyama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Kagoshima University Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Kagoshima, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-7415-6759","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Takayuki","family":"Kyutoku","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Kagoshima University Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Kagoshima, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-2562-7806","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hayato","family":"Matsumoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Kagoshima University Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Kagoshima, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9861-1517","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Masaru","family":"Yamashita","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Kagoshima University Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Kagoshima, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"3689","reference":[{"key":"635826r1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Kanno M., Kano S., Imamura Y. et al.: Palliative systemic therapy for locally advancedor metastatic salivary duct carcinoma: A comprehensive review.
