The records of 2,044 patients with previously untreated squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck were reviewed in order to define the incidence and topographical distribution of lymph node metastasis on admission. The common regions of metastasis are presented for each of the seven individual head and neck sites selected for study. Knowledge of the preferred areas of spread and those that are almost never involved allows the design of more adequate plans to manage the individual lesions.

Pattern of cervical lymph node metastases from papillary carcinoma of the thyroid

Observations made in patients who underwent a therapeutic comprehensive neck dissection for metastatic papillary thyroid carcinoma are reported on by defining lymph node involvement with respect to neck level.

Frequency of bilateral cervical metastases in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma: A retrospective analysis of 352 cases after bilateral neck dissection

The decision whether to perform an elective neck dissection in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and clinically negative lymph nodes (cN0) is made based on the probability…

Surgical management of cervical lymph nodes in patients with oral and oropharyngeal cancer.

The incidence of neck metastases in oral cancer is approximately 50%, whereas cancers arising in the oropharynx have a metastatic rate of well over 50%. In general, it holds true that the more…

Nodal metastases: predictive factors.

Selective Neck Dissection for the Treatment of Neck Metastasis From Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck

The proportion of patients disease free in the neck, with the primary site controlled, who have been treated with a selective neck dissection for squamous cell carcinoma for SCCa of the upper aerodigestive tract is determined.

The fixed cervical lymph node

Resection of the mandible, the skin of the neck, and the external carotid artery proved to be valuable procedures both in terms of palliation and survival; radical surgery produced a 5‐year survival of approximately 15%.

Predictive factors for regional metastases in oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma

The process of deciding to treat or not to treat the clinically N0 neck in early oral tongue carcinoma whether surgically or with radiotherapy remains difficult and open to discussion. This is due to…

Supraomohyoid neck dissection in the management of cervical lymph node metastases of squamous cell carcinoma of the lower lip

Supraomohyoid neck dissection (SOHND) is generally considered an adequate staging procedure in selected patients with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the lip and oral cavity, with clinically…

Neck dissection: past and present.

The anatomy of the neck, history and specific types of neck dissection, indications, therapeutic options, and current challenges in the treatment of metastatic neck disease are reviewed.

Pattern of Upper Aerodigestive Tract Malignancies and Metastatic Lymph Nodes

The commonest site of metastases from all upper aerodigestive tract tumours is to the ipsilateral L II nodes, and the maximumnumbers of cases were of carcinoma hypopharynx, 20 cases (40%), followed by carcinoma oropharynX, 14 cases (28%).
