Response to radiotherapy of XXXX in @entity791 @entity1 .

@entity1 @entity2826 @entity135 @entity5 @entity1893 @entity791
Initial manifestations of @entity791 in the head and neck area occur frequently. In fact, up to 40 percent of @entity1 may have involvement of the head and neck. The most common @entity5 are @entity2826 and @entity1893 . Since @entity791 -related @entity5 are a relatively new problem for radiation oncologists, optimal therapy for these @entity5 is unknown. A retrospective review of @entity791 @entity1 treated with radiotherapy has been performed. Fourteen @entity1 were identified. Of these, five were treated for @entity135 (four for @entity2826 and one for @entity1893 ). @entity2826 , as well as @entity1893 , were seen to be as radioresponsive as the classical forms, but local control was difficult to achieve. @entity2826 tended to recur marginally and within the field. Nonetheless, we believe radiotherapy can offer significant palliation for @entity791 @entity1 with @entity135 . It is of utmost importance that the head and neck surgeon must be acutely aware of the common patterns of presentation of this disease.
