Malignant Myoepithelioma, also known as Myoepithelial Carcinoma, is a rare form of cancer primarily affecting the salivary glands, particularly the parotid gland. It may also arise in soft tissues, submandibular glands, or minor salivary glands. This cancer originates from myoepithelial cells, which exhibit characteristics of both muscle and epithelial tissue.
Many sufferers of Malignant Myoepithelioma struggle because they feel that their disease doesn’t have the same level of awareness as more common cancers. Without a Ribbon is an Australian non-profit organisation that believes that rare cancers should never go unnoticed. We aim to provide a detailed set of resources and information for anyone suffering from cancers such as Malignant Myoepithelioma. We have recently created an Malignant Myoepithelioma resource page to help sufferers understand their disease. It covers the symptoms, available treatments and other important information.
We hope that this resource page will help you or a friend/family member to learn about their illness and aid them through their battle with the disease.
