Abstract

Between July 1968 and December 1983, 150 patients with previously untreated squamous cell carcinomas of the tonsillar fossa received megavoltage external beam irradiation with curative intent at U.T.M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. These patients were treated following a series of patients who had received radiotherapy between 1954 and May 1968. One hundred and thirty-seven patients were treated with conventional fractionation, the mean doses to the primary being 64.3 Gy, 67.8 Gy, 70.2 Gy, and 72.6 Gy for T1, T2, T3, and T4 lesions respectively. Thirteen patients were treated by altered fractionation schedules, 7 by hyperfractionation, and 6 by a concomitant boost to the primary. Elective bilateral neck irradiation was routine in all patients. A planned neck dissection was performed in 26 patients. The 5-year actuarial overall and disease-specific survival rates were 47% and 70%, respectively. Absolute local control rates with a minimum of 2 years follow-up after irradiation were 94%, 79%, 58%, and 50% for patients with T1, T2, T3, and T4 disease respectively. A total of 37 patients had local treatment failure; in 5 of 18 surgical salvage was successful. Only 4 patients with primary disease control developed failure in the neck and...Continue Reading
