| Popis: | This disease is often thought to be primarily a surgical lesion, which carries the suggestion that radiation be reserved for surgical failures or for very early lesions. Other opinions name radiation as the primary mode of treatment. In an effort to improve the cure rate, combination therapy such as preoperative radiation followed by surgery is here suggested. |
