title: [Cancer of the pharynx--results of treatment with cobalt-60].
abstract: One hundred two patients with pharyngeal cancer had been treated from 1980 to 1984 in Center Oncology--Institute branch Gliwice. Total radiation doses were 60-65 Gy. From the group of 44 patients without metastatic lymph nodes, 5 year survival rate was 36%. In cases with advanced pharyngeal carcinoma and with metastases to the lymph nodes (58 patients), 5 year survival rate was 18%. The results of this study suggest that survival rates depend on the size of the tumor and presence metastases to the local lymph nodes.
