Intraoperative radiation therapy for advanced cervical metastasis: a single institution experience.

Background: The purpose of this study is to review our experience with the use of IORT for patients with advanced cervical metastasis.

Methods: Between August 1982 and July 2007, 231 patients underwent neck dissections as part of initial therapy or as salvage treatment for advanced cervical node metastases resulting from head and neck malignancies. IORT was administered as a single fraction to a dose of 15 Gy or 20 Gy in most pts.

Intraoperative radiotherapy for parotid cancer: a single-institution experience.

Purpose: Our practice policy has been to provide intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) at resection to patients with head-and-neck malignancies considered to be at high risk of recurrence. The purpose of the present study was to review our experience with the use of IORT for primary or recurrent cancer of the parotid gland.

Methods And Materials: Between 1982 and 2007, 96 patients were treated with gross total resection and IORT for primary or recurrent cancer of the parotid gland.
