Getting diagnosed with salivary gland cancer

See your GP if you notice a change that isn't normal for you. Or if you have any of the possible signs and symptoms of salivary gland cancer.

Your GP should arrange for you to see a specialist or have tests if you have symptoms that could be due to salivary gland cancer.

Screening means testing people for early stages of a disease before they have any symptoms. There is no national screening programme for salivary gland cancer in the UK.

You will have tests to check for salivary gland cancer. You might not need all of these tests. It will depend on your individual situation.
