Comparative efficacy of surgery and radiotherapy in achieving local control in Kimura disease: a retrospective analysis of treatment outcomes
Radiotherapy is more effective than surgery in achieving local control of Kimura disease. Higher radiation doses may negatively impact outcomes, suggesting that a tailored, moderate-dose approach is optimal. Radiotherapy should be prioritized, particularly for recurrent or multifocal cases, offering a more reliable long-term treatment strategy than surgery.
