RESUMO
An apparent relationship between breast cancer and salivary gland cancer has been observed, and there is one report in the literature that describes estrogen receptors in normal salivary gland and salivary gland cancers. With the use of a monoclonal antibody against estrogen receptor protein and the avidin-biotin immunoperoxidase procedure, we were unable to demonstrate estrogen receptors in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sections of either polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma or adenoid cystic carcinoma of salivary gland origin.

Tissue diagnostic services in U.S. dental schools were surveyed to determine activities during 1990. Results were compared with those of similar surveys conducted in 1953, 1958, 1969, 1975, 1980, and 1985. The information gathered from this survey reveals a progressive growth and development of tissue diagnostic services. This is seen not only in the increased numbers of biopsy accessions, which increased by 37% since the last survey, but is also reflected in the diversity of services now offered by oral pathologists.

Tissue-diagnostic services in United States dental schools were surveyed to determine activities during 1985. Results were compared with those of similar surveys conducted in 1953, 1958, 1969, 1975, and 1980. A continuing increase in the number of specimens processed has occurred, and there has been a parallel increase in the number of malignant specimens noted. The percentage of malignant specimens in relation to total specimens processed has not changed significantly.
