Long-term follow-up of 15 patients treated with definitive radiotherapy for advanced glomus tumors of the head and neck is presented. Disease was locally controlled in all patients. A prescribed dose above 4,500 cGY did not improve treatment results. Radiation therapy remains the treatment of choice for advanced glomus tumors.
