[Carcinoma of the tonsil. Case contributions].
The authors study a group of 25 patients treated for tonsillar carcinomas mainly in stage IV at the Istituto di Oncologia di Torino. The most part of the deaths are in the first 2 years after treatment, mainly due to distant metastases; a good stabilization of survival follows, obtained by radiation therapy alone or associated with surgery and/or chemotherapy.
