Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Otolaryngology
  • Diagnostic Medicine

Background:

  • Cervical lymph node metastases of unknown primary origin represent a diagnostic challenge in oncology.
  • Early and accurate diagnosis is essential for effective treatment planning and patient outcomes.

Observation:

  • A prospective study conducted between 1991 and 1993 included 370 patients admitted to the ENT Clinic of "Sf. Spiridon" Hospital.
  • In 33 patients (8.9%), a primary tumor could not be identified despite extensive diagnostic workup.

Findings:

  • The diagnostic strategy for patients with cervical metastases of unknown primary origin was reviewed.
  • The probability of locating the primary tumor is significantly influenced by the diagnostic phase and employed methods.

Implications:

  • Findings highlight the need for refined diagnostic protocols to improve the detection rate of occult primary tumors.
  • Optimizing diagnostic pathways can lead to earlier intervention and potentially better prognosis for patients with head and neck cancers.
