Abstract

Background: Muco-epidermoid carcinoma (MECa) represents c.25% of salivary gland cancers. MECa is sub-classified by the presence/absence of the MAML2 gene rearrangement. However, this test is not in routine diagnostic practice in the UK. This pilot study was performed to optimise the ZytoLight® MAML2 Break Apart FISH assay as a diagnostic test within a UK tertiary centre diagnostic laboratory and characterise the clinical and pathological associations of MAML2 rearrangement.
