[Treatment of epitheliomas of the parotid. Apropos of 93 cases treated at the Curie Institute].
From 1955 through 1982, a series of 93 cases of parotid gland carcinoma were treated at the Institut Curie: 55 primarily and 28 for recurrent tumors. Treatment modalities included surgery alone (n : 14), surgery followed by radiotherapy (n : 43), and radiotherapy alone (n : 36). The most advanced cases were mostly in the latter group. With a mean follow-up of 13 years, the actuarial loco-regional control is 67% (62/93) and the median survival 10 years. Ultimate loco-regional control was achieved in 86% of cases managed by surgery alone, 88% of cases managed by surgery and radiotherapy and 33% of cases managed by radiotherapy. In the latter group, control rate was 42% (8/19) in those primarily treated by radiotherapy. Prognosis was related to histology. Twenty patients (22%) presented distant metastasis. The potential advantages of neutron irradiation for parotid neoplasms is discussed.
