In the 16 year period 1965-81, 12 patients with head and neck chemodectomas received radiotherapy. In only 1 patient did the tumour fail to respond, due to metastases, and 9 showed complete resolution of the tumour. As this form of treatment is associated with few complications, we conclude that it is the treatment of choice in those patients who are unfit for surgery and those whose tumours are technically unresectable.
在1965年至1981年的16年期间，12例头颈部化学感受器瘤患者接受了放射治疗。只有1例患者因转移瘤而对治疗无反应，9例患者肿瘤完全消退。由于这种治疗方式并发症较少，我们得出结论，对于不适合手术以及肿瘤在技术上无法切除的患者，它是首选的治疗方法。
