Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare cancer, typically originating in the head and neck region. This
malignancy has a slow - and sometimes relentless - progression with a tendency to grow along nerves. Particularly
high rates of recurrence and metastasis to the lungs lead to a poor prognosis beyond ten years.
The Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma Research Foundation (ACCRF) supports research into adenoid cystic
carcinoma that will accelerate the development of improved therapies and a cure for the disease.
