The present study included nine patients suffering from various types of malignant salivary gland neoplasms. The patients were monitored both pre and post operatively utilizing the circulating immune complex assay. The (CIC) levels decreased significantly after the surgical eradication of the neoplasms. This diagnostic parameter proved to be of great value in monitoring therapy in patients with various types of malignancies.
