Adjuvant RT ‐ major salivary gland tumors

SEER population‐based study ‐ ASTRO 2009 (n=3,714)

“Multivariate analysis revealed a significant

association between adjuvant radiation

and decreased mortality (HR = 0 76 95%

. ,

CI: 0.65–0.89, p = 0.0008).

…

In the absence of randomized data our

results support the role of adjuvant

radiation for high‐grade and locally

advanced major malignant salivary gland

tumours”
