Twenty patients with malignant salivary gland tumors of the hard and soft palate were seen at the University of Virginia Hospital from 1956 through 1975. The characteristics of the tumors, including symptoms and histology are reviewed and the results of treatment are analyzed. In particular, the place of radiotherapy in their management has been examined. Primary control by initial surgery alone was achieved in 60% (9/15) of the cases, and, when those patients who received radiotherapy for residual disease or salvage are included, the primary control was 94% (16/17). Five- and ten-year determinate survival rates were 88% and 67%, respectively. From this retrospective analysis and a review of the literature, it appears that radiotherapy has made a very positive contribution to the management of these tumors.
1956年至1975年间，弗吉尼亚大学医院共收治了20例腭部（包括硬腭和软腭）恶性唾液腺肿瘤患者。本文回顾了这些肿瘤的特征，包括症状和组织学表现，并分析了治疗结果。特别探讨了放射治疗在其治疗中的作用。仅通过初始手术实现的原发性控制率为60%（9/15），若将那些因残留疾病或挽救性治疗而接受放射治疗的患者纳入计算，原发性控制率则为94%（16/17）。5年和10年的确定生存率分别为88%和67%。通过这项回顾性分析以及对文献的综述，似乎放射治疗对这些肿瘤的治疗起到了非常积极的作用。
