Radiation therapy of 6,000 rads resulted in apparent success over a two-year follow-up for a primary synovial sarcoma of the tongue.
This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.
A previously unreported primary synovial sarcoma of the tongue occurred in a 21-year-old man. Because of refusal of surgery, the lesion was treated with a radiation dose of 6,000 rads with apparent success over a two-year follow-up, an experience not in keeping with the generally known behavior of such tumors.
