Abstract:
Oral cavity cancers are treated by surgery with or without adjuvant therapy. Being the most important prognostic factor, neck node management is an important aspect of treating oral cancers. There are numerous areas of debate in the management of the node-negative and node-positive neck. In an attempt to answer these questions, a large volume of literature has been generated over the last few decades. This review article describes the current evidence and approach considerations for the management of cervical nodes in patients with oral cavity cancers.
