The records of 41 patients with adenoid cystic carcinoma of the head and neck region who had been treated with radiotherapy were reviewed. Local control was achieved in 72.3% in the cases with primary lesions at 5 years. The prognosis for tumors that arose in the major salivary glands was better than that for tumors that arose in the minor salivary glands; however, the difference was not statistically significant. In the minor salivary glands, early-stage tumors were well controlled with the use of radiation therapy alone. In spite of the high local control rate, the disease-free survival rate of the patients at 10 years was only 20.8%. Lung metastasis determined the prognosis.
回顾了41例接受放射治疗的头颈部腺样囊性癌患者的记录。原发性病变患者5年时的局部控制率为72.3%。大唾液腺发生的肿瘤预后优于小唾液腺发生的肿瘤；然而，差异无统计学意义。在小唾液腺中，早期肿瘤仅通过放射治疗就能得到良好控制。尽管局部控制率高，但患者10年无病生存率仅为20.8%。肺转移决定预后。
