Abstract

The results of a prospective survey of planned management of 28 primary carcinomas of the parotid, and five primary carcinomas of the submandibular gland over a period of 22 years are discussed. High- and low-grade carcinomas are distinguished and less radical treatment for the latter appears justified.
