title: Advances in clinical investigations of salivary gland tumorigenesis.
abstract: Advances in molecular techniques, tumor genomics and tissue acquisition offer, new opportunities in exploring the genesis and the submicroscopic features of salivary gland neoplasms. Studies integrating these techniques and information may lead to better understanding of the histogenesis and the pathobiological heterogeneity of these tumors.
