Terrible prognosis rare disease without an established standard of care.
Surgery followed by PORT is the general rule of thumb.
Cover op bed + elective neck nodal RT based on location of primary.
Dose: 60 Gy in 30 fx + boost as needed.
There is a nice review article in the Red J from 2014 led by Richard...
