Advice
  • Use survival estimates in conjunction with clinical guidelines and specialist expertise to support personalized adjuvant therapy decisions.
  • Despite the lack of randomized clinical trials, consider PORT for those with the following high-risk features:
    • Advanced primary T stage (T3–4).
    • Intermediate or high tumor grade.
    • Adenoid cystic histology.
    • Close or positive surgical margins.
    • Perineural invasion.
    • Lymphatic or vascular invasion.
    • Lymph node metastases.
