title: [Radiotherapy of palpebral carcinoma--a follow-up study].
abstract: After radiotherapy, 52 patients of palpebral carcinoma were followed up, including squamous cell carcinoma 24 cases, basal cell carcinoma 19 cases, undifferentiated carcinoma 7 cases, and Meibomian gland carcinoma 2 cases. The tumors of 46 cases (88.5%) resolved in 3-6 months after treatment, and the 3-year survival rate was 92.3% (48 cases), the 5-year survival rate was 82.7% (43 cases), and the 10 to 16-year survival rate was 47.7% (21 cases). The curative effect of radiotherapy on palpebral carcinoma is noteworthy.
