The authors present a homogeneous series of 133 patients with squamous carcinomas of the base of the tongue, treated mostly by external radiotherapy. The survival rate at the end of three years is 17%, and at five years 13%. Studying the local spread or stage of the tumour and survival, it is seen that only T1, T2, N0 and N1a patients (with a three-year survival of 28%) can, in fact, benefit from a curative course of radiotherapy, in which external radiation and curietherapy are associated. In the other cases, radiosensitization, unusual wavelengths of irradiation, or heavy particle irradiation seem to be the only possible ways of improving the prognosis.
作者报告了一组133例舌根部鳞状细胞癌患者，多数接受了外照射放疗。三年末生存率为17%，五年生存率为13%。研究肿瘤的局部扩散或分期与生存率发现，实际上只有T1、T2、N0和N1a期患者（三年生存率为28%）能从外照射与镭疗联合的根治性放疗疗程中获益。在其他病例中，放射增敏、非常规波长照射或重粒子照射似乎是改善预后的唯一可行方法。
