Abstract
The clinical course of a group of 15 female patients treated with X-ray therapy for radiation induced hypopharyngeal tumors is reviewed. Neither acute nor late skin reactions exceeded those expercted in similar radical treatments of patients not previously irradiated. One patient appeared to hae been cured by the treatment and 4 achieved palliation. The tolerance of skin to reirradiation following a long latent period may approach normal.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
