HELLO ,
As ur son is diagnosed with carcinoma of salivary gland , histopathology and type of carcinoma predicts its prognosis. Considering it as low grade tumour , only surgery is sufficient and yearly review for recurrence and and other swelling below ear and neck . If tumour is high grade and surrounding tissue infiltration u should go for radiotheraphy after surgery and yearly reviewal for that
