Lymph nodes have historically been described using anatomy-based terminology (e.g., jugulodigastric, spinal accessory), but have more recently been described using nodal “levels” that group nodes on the basis of clinical and pathophysiologic information (Fig. 17-27). These nodal levels have ...
We found the cervical nodal volume to be the predominant risk factor of survival (both OS and RFS). These findings were validated in an independent cohort. On the other hand, all parameters related to the primary tumor were not predictive. Moreover, the nodal volume based on MRI was a str...

Methodology: Totally, 26 consecutive biopsy proven cases of oral SCC were included, and the nodal status was evaluated by palpation, CT and ultrasound (US) and confirmed by histopathological examination. The results were presented in terms of sensitivity, specificity, predict...

we proposed the new nodal staging system. It had 4 risk categories: low risk (No lymph node metastases; N0); intermediate risk (not low risk; no high-risk features; N1); high risk (≥ 1 pathological node in the common iliac or above, or ≥ 3 pathological nodes in pelvic node...

(PET/CT) may aid detection of pathological lymph nodes, and is becoming increasingly common for defining nodal targets. Functional MRI, including dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) and diffusion-weighted (DW) MRI, may improve target definition and is part of the standard imaging protocol at many ...
