| Research Abstract |
Androgen receptor(AR) is expressed in prostate carcinoma, and hormonal therapy has been commonly used. On the other hand, it is reported that salivary gland carcinomas express androgen receptor (AR), however little is known regarding its role in the salivary gland carcinoma. In this study, we investigate a possibility of hormonal therapy for salivary gland carcinoma. We evaluated the expression of androgen receptor in a salivary gland carcinoma tissues and salivary gland carcinoma cell lines. As a result of immunohistochemistry and western bolting, all salivary gland carcinoma tissues and salivary gland cell lines were negative for AR. So few salivary gland carcinoma are applicable for hormonal therapy.
