  • Title: The role of radiation therapy in the treatment of glomus jugulare tumors.
    Author: Simko TG, Griffin TW, Gerdes AJ, Parker RG, Tesh DW, Taylor W, Blasko JC.
    Journal: Cancer; 1978 Jul; 42(1):104-6. PubMed ID: 208745.
    Abstract:
    The records of 14 patients who received irradiation for incompletely excised, inoperable or recurrent glomus jugulare tumors were retrospectively reviewed. Ages ranged from 12 to 66 years, and the male to female ratio was 1:3. With a follow-up time of 1.3 to 17.2 years (mean of 7.7 years), 11/14 remain clinically disease-free. Doses of at least 4000 rad are shown to be effective in controlling glomus jugular tumors.
