Dissection of Neck Nodes: Current Concepts
Keywords:
Neck Dissection, Squamous Cell Carcinoma, Head and Neck Neoplasms, Sentinel Lymph Node BiopsyAbstract
Metastasis in the lymphatic ganglia of the neck has classically been deemed an un favorable prognostic factor for patients with tumors in that part of the body. Therefore, in order to adequately define primary treatment it is important that during evaluation drainage pattern in anatomical sites be taken into account, along with factors which predispose metastasis, as well as the ganglionary changes in the neck. In this article descriptions are provided of neck level, lymphatic dissemination patterns, metastatic risk factors, and types of neck dissection in order to clarify and update concepts, thus making them applicable to patients with head and neck tumors.
