[A multi-fractionated course of gamma teletherapy in the late stages of cancer of the maxillofacial area and neck].
The results of gamma-beam therapy using a multifractional course in 373 patients with advanced stages of different parts of the maxillofacial area and neck were assessed. The 3-year survival rates among patients with stage IV (83.9%) were 18.8% for cancer of the organs of the oral cavity and 16.8% for cancer of the accessory nasal sinus and nose. Multifractional radiotherapy puts an end to painful symptoms in patients at advanced stages of cancer without causing any noticeable local reactions or deterioration in the patients' general status.
