A review was made on 331 cases of head and neck malignancies above the age of 65 with special reference to the therapeutic dosis of irradiation and duration of hospitalization. With exception of terminal cases, the duration was within 10 days on the average and the irradiation dose have been decreasing in general by combining minor surgical procedures such as local debridement mainly on out-patient basis. The author argued that the short-term hospitalization and long-term follow-up with a close observations on the general condition and local findings of the patient would be an ideal approach for the treatment of head and neck malignancies particularly for the aged. The author suggested that a similar strategy would be applicable to most cases of head and neck malignancies and it would lead to the establishment of the so-called primary care system.
