Abstract
Five hundred fifty-four persons were evaluated who had received external radiation therapy for benign diseases of the head and neck in childhood and whose salivary glands were presumably included in the radiation field. A significant excess of salivary gland cancers were noted when they were compared to 958 nonirradiated control subjects.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
