Gallium-67 scintigraphy was performed on 25 patients with a variety of malignant tumors of the head and neck in order to evaluate the susceptibility of the tumors to irradiation and chemotherapy before treatment and to monitor the effectiveness of therapy. If certain limitations are borne in mind, gallium scanning may prove a valuable tool in planning and evaluating therapy of malignant tumors.
