Twenty cases of salivary gland tumors treated from 1962 to 1971 were reported. Inoperable malignant tumors of the salivary gland were treated by irradiation of Co60 (6,000-7,000 rad. in total). Although the complete removal of the tumor of the salivary gland gave significant results, the cases of malignant tumors treated only with Co60 irradiation showed poor prognosis. Six out of twelve patients with malignant tumors died. Seven patients with benign tumors showed good prognosis and five of them survived for more than five years after the treatment. The importance of blood amylase value in the salivary gland disease was emphasized.
