Cancer involving the antrum can be cured in a greater percentage of cases if the lesions are detected earlier, specifically diagnosed histologically, and radically managed at the time of the initial treatment. The procedure of choice is, first, surgical removal (with a scalpel) of as much of the tumor as is possible without risk of operative death, then limited but specific cancerocidal radiation as indicated by operative findings or regular postoperative observation. The period of convalescence will be less distressing and shorter with this procedure than with others; and, in those cases in which cure is not effected, palliation will be more satisfactory. The cured patients are cosmetically acceptable without functional disability except for unilateral loss of vision in cases in which exenteration of the orbit is necessary.
