ABSTRACT
The treatment of temporal bone carcinoma is a widely discussed topic with marked variation in published results. Most conclude that a combination of radical surgery and radiotherapy is the optimum treatment. The present study reviews the results of radiotherapy used as the main primary treatment for this condition. Five-year survival in 56 patients was 32% for radical and palliative therapy, with an excellent response in 'early' cases. It is concluded that improvement in survival could be attained by defining those groups which would benefit from a combination of treatment methods.
