Utility of PET-CT in detecting nodal metastasis in cN0 early stage oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Management of the clinically node-negative neck (cN0) in patients with early stage oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OCSCC) is challenging. Accurate imaging alternatives to elective neck dissections would help reduce surgical morbidity. While pooled studies suggest that imaging modalities have similar accuracy in predicting occult nodal disease, no study has examined the utility of PET-CT in this specific population of …
