[The thermoradiotherapy of malignant salivary gland tumors].
The paper is devoted to the discussion of problems of the effectiveness of thermoradio- and radiotherapy of patients with locally advanced malignant tumors of the salivary glands. The 1st group of 14 patients received gamma-beam therapy, and the 2nd group of 32 patients was given radiotherapy combined with local microwave hyperthermia. After delivering a dose of 40 Gy a decrease of a tumor size by greater than 50% was noted in 50% of the patients of the 1st group and in 76% of the patients of the 2nd group. Thermoradiotherapy prove to be most effective in patients with adenoid cystic carcinoma, tumor regression over 75% was noted in half of them. Complications in thermoradiotherapy were unnoticed.
