Abstract:
Oral squamous cell carcinoma is characterized by high rate of recessive lymph gland metastasis. However, the treatment of early stage of neck lymph gland metastasis still remains large controversial. In this review, we were undertaken to assess the predictability of lymph node metastases by analyzing tumor thickness or depth and imaging. It is suggested that combined with imaging examination, elective neck dissection is a suitable choice for patient with > 4mm of primary tumor filtration.
