Abstract

Therapeutic and elective dissection of the neck is accepted management in the treatment of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the upper aerodigestive tract (UADT). Accurate histological assessment of the levels of involvement of cervical metastatic spread from different sites within the UADT has allowed the increasing use of less than radical procedures, with associated reduced morbidity. A total of 168 necks in 126 patients were examined pathologically. All levels were identified at surgery, marked and oriented by pinning the specimen to a cork board, and examined histologically. A total of 114 necks had a comprehensive neck dissection (CND) in which all levels were dissected. The number and level of involvement and the occult rate (114 necks) for each primary site was assessed. Of the total of 168 necks, 80 had pathologically involved nodes, and the number with greater than one node involved (N2b) was compared for each primary site. The number with extracapsular spread for each nodal staging was also examined. The sites of primary SCC were the oral cavity, oropharynx, hypopharynx, supraglottic and glottic larynx. In those patients with a primary in the oral cavity, no patient had level 5 involvement, but in two patients (7%) le...Continue Reading
