OBJECTIVES: Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the hypopharynx represents a distinct
clinical entity among other cancers of the head and neck region. Despite recent advances in …

Diagnostic imaging continues to evolve, and now has unprecedented accuracy for detecting

Objectives/Hypothesis The aim of this study was to analyze the prevalence and distribution
of histologic cervical lymph node metastases in medial wall pyriform sinus squamous cell …

Lymph node metastases (LNM) are common in hypophariyngeal carcinomas; the neck
dissection is an important therapeutic approach. AIM: to analyze the incidence and …

Cancers of the head and neck region often present with nodal involvement. There is a long‐
standing convention within the community of head and neck radiation oncology to irradiate …

Conclusion: As the occult nodal metastasis ratio is low and there is no statistical benefit of
elective neck dissection, elective neck dissection is not always necessary during salvage …
