Radiation therapy of carcinoma of the nasal vestibule

Abstract Between January 1968 and January 1978, 46 patients were treated radiotherapeutically for carcinoma of the nasal vestibule in the Rotterdamsch Radio-Therapeutisch Instituut. In 32 patients who received electron-beam therapy the treatment results appear to be dependent on tumour dose, tumour size, tumour localisation and degree of differentiation. Both the use of tissue equivalent filling in the nasal cavity and an interval during radiation treatment have no influence on the treatment results.
