Between May 1971 and November 1980, 70 patients with recurrent or new oropharyngeal cancers arising in previously irradiated tissues were treated using iridium 192 afterloading techniques. The actuarial local control was 72% at 2 years and 69% at 5 years. Although local control of the tumor was achieved in the majority of these patients, only 10 patients remained alive at 5 years (14%). Patients with lesions of the faucial arch and posterior pharyngeal wall had the best results; local control was achieved in 100% of these patients. Patients with lesions of the base of tongue and of the glosso-tonsillar sulcus had poorer results; local control was achieved in 61%. Because these results compare favorably with the results of previously published series, we recommend re-irradiation with brachytherapy for recurrent or new malignancies arising in a previously irradiated oropharynx. When the lesion is located in the faucial arch, brachytherapy is the treatment of choice. When the lesion is located in the base of tongue, brachytherapy is a reasonable option.
