Abstract:
Four patients with extremely large lateral neck swellings are described. In the discussion the controversy about using radiotherapy: (i) to make an 'inoperable tumour operable', and (ii) to 'sterilise the operative field' is considered. It is concluded that modern radiotherapeutic techniques probably satisfy these requirements.
