Abstract
One hundred and twenty-two cases with squamous cell carcinoma of the tonsil have been reviewed, 101 of which were treated with radiotherapy; the five-year survival rate in these cases was significantly better in early-stage tumours. Surgical treatment in this series was too small to draw any firm conclusion but, from reports in a large series, surgical treatment has been highly recommended in selected cases of advanced tumour, this result could also be improved with a pre-operative course of radiotherapy.Keywords
