Radiation‐induced hyposalivation is still a major problem after radiotherapy for head and
neck cancer. Current and promising new thoughts to reduce or salvage radiation damage to …

Neck dissection is an important treatment for metastases from upper aerodigestive
carcinoma; an event that markedly reduces survival. Since its inception, the philosophy of …

In patients with head and neck cancer, irradiation (IR)‐sensitive salivary gland (SG) tissue is
highly prone to damage during radiotherapy (RT). This leads to SG hypofunction and …

Simple Summary Radiation therapy for cancer treatment can lead to damage to surrounding
healthy tissues and organs, like salivary glands. Loss of salivary function leads to a …

Objective To analyze submandibular gland (SMG) involvement in cases of oral cavity
cancers and decide whether to remove submandibular glands while performing neck …

Our purpose was to provide a pathological basis for preservation of the submandibular
glands during neck dissection for oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) by investigating …

Purpose Whether the submandibular gland (SMG) can be preserved during neck dissection
in the surgical treatment of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is controversial. This …

Locoregional flaps are widely used for reconstruction of small and medium defects in the
oral cavity. The submandibular gland flap is a pedicled flap, which derives its blood supply …

Objective The submandibular gland (SMG) is typically included in level I neck dissection
specimens despite limited data demonstrating SMG invasion. The main objective of this …

This prospective study aimed to investigate metastases of oral squamous cell carcinoma
(OSCC) to cervical lymph nodes and submandibular glands and to analyze the safety and …
