Abstract
Study
design
Objective
To demonstrate whether tonsillectomy
adds oncologic advantage over biopsy
alone in stage I or II tonsil cancers
prior to definitive radiotherapy
Subjects
Patient with stage I and II
primary tonsil carcinoma who
received
definitive
radiation
treatment
Results
Radiation after tonsillectomy 5 year
OS 83%
And DSS 90%.
Radiation after biopsy 5 year OS 64%
and DSS 76%.
Conclusion
SEER data suggest that tonsil
resection prior to radiation improved
survival in low stage tonsil cancer
(age
and
year
of
treatment
controlled)

Discussion
2004-2006vs1988-2003younger
age was also associated with
survival benefit. Each of these
parameters significantly affected OS
and DSS, and significance was
maintained in multivariate analysis.
Yildrim et al (1979-2004)

stage I or II disease.

(100% and 77%).
