One hundred and twenty-two cases with squamous cell carcinoma of the tonsil have been reviewed, 101 of which were treated with radiotherapy; the five-year survival rate in these cases was significantly better in early-stage tumours. Surgical treatment in this series was too small to draw any firm conclusion but, from reports in a large series, surgical treatment has been highly recommended in selected cases of advanced tumour, this result could also be improved with a pre-operative course of radiotherapy.
回顾了122例扁桃体鳞状细胞癌病例，其中101例接受了放射治疗；这些病例中早期肿瘤的五年生存率明显更高。本系列中的手术治疗病例数太少，无法得出任何确凿结论，但从大量病例报告来看，对于部分晚期肿瘤病例强烈推荐手术治疗，术前进行一个疗程的放射治疗也可改善治疗结果。
