(This is now separate from the rest of the legislative package it had been part of, which is still under debate.) Sen.

The news has left many people with questions about this type of cancer, its actual location, and, of course, its prognosis. The good news is that it seems the cancer was caught early and should respond well to treatment with a favorable outcome and little or no impact on Yauch’s ability to sing. First, the parotid gland is the largest of the salivary glands, which are paired organs located around the jaw. The parotid is at the back and bottom of the cheek and is accompanied by the submandibular (under the jaw) and subli...

While it is a rare form of cancer, it does happen and how good the prognosis is depends on how early it was found and how aggressive the tumor is. What are the salivary glands? Salivary glands are tiny glands in the mouth and throat. We have three major ones:  the parotid, submandibular, and sublingual glands.

A cancerous tumor has been found on his left salivary gland. He is expected to make a full recovery, but I always believe a little positively goes a long way, don’t you? I know Adam and the Beastie Boys have a lot of fans who are pulling for Adam’s return to the band. The Beastie Boys had planned to go out on tour, and to release an album titled Hot Sauce Committee Part 1. They will wait until Adam is healthy and able to play with the band before continuing.
