Radiotherapy in glomus tumours (paragangliomas). A 25 year-review

H S Hansen et al. Acta Otolaryngol Suppl. 1988.

Abstract

57 patients have been reviewed. 39 had radiotherapy (28 glomus jugulare, 7 glomus tympanicum and 4 glomus caroticum/vagale tumours). Two patients have died of their tumour and one patient had increasing nerve involvement during two months after irradiation. It is concluded that the results bear comparison with those of surgery and that extensive surgery in tumours with extratympanal growth is not warranted.
