Abstract
In conclusion, it has been pointed out that radiotherapy has a very important part
to play in the curative management of many tumours of the head and neck. It is essential

since, if such is not the case, we are talking about something other than radiotherapy.
Irradiation therapy should not be considered as a competitor of surgery. Both are
required, sometimes separately and sometimes in combination in the management of these
tumours. The radiotherapist should have an equal voice with the surgeon in the pretreatment
discussion on management, and this equality of influence should exist in fact and
not merely in theory.
