Suggest Treatment For Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma

My mother had adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) in her tongue 19 yrs ago, she had surgery/radiation and was symptom free until recently ACC was found in both her lungs (5 and 3 cm) and in her nymph node. She is 76 yr old, surgery and radiation are not an option. From my reading, ACC is not sensitive to chemo? Can you give me any advices? Much appreciated. -John

Hello,

Descriptions of the most common treatment options for AdCC are listed below. Treatment options and recommendations depend on several factors, including the type and stage of cancer, possible side effects, and the patient’s preferences and overall health.

Your care plan may also include treatment for your symptoms and side effects, an important part of cancer care. Take time to learn about all of your treatment options and be sure to ask questions about things that are unclear. Talk with your doctor about the goals of each treatment and what you can expect while receiving the treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Esmeralda Sera,
