The effect of megavoltage irradiation with cobalt teletherapy or electron beam therapy has been evaluated in a series of 31 patients with extensive carcinoma of the maxillary antrum. Twelve of these patients were living, free of disease, at three years, and six out of 19 were alive at five years. From these results it seems that radical megavoltage radiation therapy can be relied upon to eradicate squamous carcinoma cells in bone in the management of advanced carcinoma of the maxillary antrum with its ethmoidal, orbital or pterygomaxillary extensions.
