Abstract:
195 patients with tonsil carcinoma were treated by simple external radiation at K Hospital from January 1990 to January 2001. Results showed: the rate of response to simple external radiation in all episode was 58.9%, partial response 41.1%, no unresponsive case or progresive case. The rate of responsive effect of external radiation on tumor was T1, T2 - 100%, T3 - 47%, T4 - 0%, N1 - 100%; N2 - 82.4%; N3 - 20.4%. The responsive rate of external radiation on tumor and adenomas was depended mainly on the sign, the invasion of the tumor and the adenome, but no relation with histopathological type.
