Ninety-six patients with cancer of the tonsillar region in all stages were studied to compare full-course radiation therapy with surgical salvage to planned radiation and surgery. Full-course radiation therapy was effective in controlling T1 and T2 tumors without neck node involvement. Combined therapy was much more effective in treating T3 tumors with neck node disease. Patients with T4 tumors did poorly regardless of therapy.
对96例各期扁桃体区癌患者进行了研究，以比较全程放疗与计划性放疗加手术挽救性手术的效果。全程放疗对于控制无颈部淋巴结受累的T1和T2期肿瘤有效。联合治疗在治疗伴有颈部淋巴结疾病的T3期肿瘤方面更为有效。无论采用何种治疗方法，T4期肿瘤患者的预后都很差。
