Abstract: Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a rare kind of malignancy in secretory glands, usually occurs in salivary glands. It is characterized by perineural invasion and early hematogenous metastasis, presenting difficulties to its clinical treatment. Recent studies have found that Notch signaling pathway plays an important role in the development and metastasis of adenoid cystic carcinoma, and presents attractive prognostic indicators and drug targets. This article reviews the research progress of regulatory mechanisms and drug targets in adenoid cystic carcinoma based on Notch signaling pathway.

Key words: adenoid cystic carcinoma, Notch signaling pathway, prognostic biomarker, targeted therapy
