title: [Radiotherapy of lymphosarcoma of the major salivary glands].
abstract: Twenty patients with cytologically verified diagnosis of lymphosarcoma of the major salivary glands (15 with lymphosarcoma of the parotid gland and 5 with lymphosarcoma of the submandibular gland) were treated by radiotherapy. Twelve patients presented with stage I E, 7 with stage II E, and 1 with stage IV EO. Metastases in the cervical lymph nodes were diagnosed in 7 patients. Total focal doses for the primary tumor and metastases were 30-40 Gy during 3-4 weeks. The observation of 2-4 years showed that radiotherapy led to cure of 12 (60+/-15.4%) patients. No trends to relapses and generalization of the process were observed. No preventive exposure of the lymph discharge zones was carried out.
