  • Title: Results of fast neutron therapy of adenoid-cystic carcinomas of the head and neck at the neutron therapy facility Hamburg-Eppendorf.
    Author: Schwarz R, Brockmann WP, Junker A.
    Journal: Strahlenther Onkol; 1989 Apr; 165(4):313-4. PubMed ID: 2540540.
    Abstract:
    Between 1977 and 1987, 30 patients with adenoid-cystic carcinomas of the head and neck region were treated, at the Hamburg-Eppendorf neutron therapy facility, with a 14 MeV-DT-generator. The present review deals with 15 patients treated before October 1986 e.g. with follow up longer than one year. These results, although preliminary, tend to confirm that fast neutrons is the best irradiation modality of adenoid-cystic carcinomas of the head and neck region, especially when surgery is not possible, or cannot be radical.
