Abstract
Sixty-eight patients with cancer of the Head and Neck treated at our Dept, of Radiology from 1959 to 1961 were reviewed.
Forty-four of the cases were male and 24 were female. The age distribution of the patients ranged from 7 to 76 and a considerable number were at age of 50-60.
In 1959 usualy patients received 5, 000 R in tumor dose by Tele Cobalt Therapy, and in 1960 and 1961 received more than 6, 000 R. But no significant difference was found between the 5, 000 R Group and the higher irradiated Group by follow up study.
About the prognosis of the cancer of the Head and Neck, the character of the cancer itself is more important than the amount of the tumor doses of Co-60.
