Objective: Neck dissection remains the standard method of treating cervical metastasis from head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. We reviewed our experience with radical and modified RND (MRND) plus radiotherapy as treatment for N2/N3 neck disease in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Methods we retrospectively reviewed our clinical records from july 2010 to june 2014 identify 43 neck dissections in 39 patients who were found to have N2 or N3 neck disease treated primarily by neck dissection and postoperative radiotherapy. All patients had head and neck squamous cell carcinoma with a minimum follow up of 24 months. Conclusions the combination of RND or MRND and radiotherapy is effective in controlling neck disease in the absence of persistent or recurrent local disease. MRND supports preservation of the spinal nerve whenever oncologically feasible.

Objective: to evaluate the efficacy of the selective neck dissection in the management of the clinically node-negative neck. Study Design case histories were evaluated retrospectively. Methods the results of 75 neck dissections performed on 52 pat ients were studied. Results theprimarysites were oral cavity 20, oropharynx 7, hypopharynx 4, and latynx 21. 14 necks (23%) were node positive on pathological examination. The number of positive nodes varied from 1 to 9 per side. Of necks with positive 4 (24%) had extracapsular spread. The median follow up was 24 months. Two recurrences developed outside the dissected field. The incidence of regional recurrences was similar in patients in whom nodes were negative on histological examination 3% when compared with patients with positive nodes without extracapsular spread 4%. In contrast regional recurrence developed in 18% of necks with extracapsular spread. This observation was statistically significant. Patients having more than two metastatic lymph nodes had a higher incidence of recurrent disease than the patients with carcinoma limited to one or two nodes. Conclusion SND is effective for controlling neck disease and serves to detect patients who require adjuvant therapy.
Objective : to analyze the level (site) of ipsilateral neck recurrences after supraomohyoid neck dissection in patients with lip, oral and oropharyngeal cancer treated in a single institution. Between 2010 – 2013, 38 patients underwent 38 supraomo hyoid neck dissection. Results: there were 5 cases (13%) of ipsilateral neck recurrences, 2 were beyond the limits of the supraomohyoid neck dissection, and 3 were inside these limits. There was no association of neck recurrences with pathological status of lymph nodes. 4 of the 5 recurrences were in patients who underwent postoperative radiotherapy.
Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the pattern of nodal metastasis to level V in parotid cancer and to examine the clinical value of level V neck dissection (LVND). Study Design: Retrospective study. Methods: LVND was performed in 10.6% and 2 8.2% of patients with clinical N0 (cN0) and cN+ neck disease, respectively. The prevalence of pathological positive nodal metastasis was 0% (cN0) and 81.8% (cN+). In patients with cN0 neck, the rate of recurrence in level V was 6%. Conclusion: in our patient cohort, LVND was necessary in patients with cN+ neck because there was a high likelihood for pathologically positive nodal metastasis. In patients with cN0 neck, the rate of recurrence in level V was low enough not to warrant a routine inclusion of LVND.
this study Aimes to Investigate CXCR4 expression in primary head and neck squamous cell carcinomas tumors in all clinical stages and histological grades, then compare it with control normal oral epithelial tissues. Compare metastatic lymph nodes CXCR4 expression with their primary HNSCC tumors at high stages which associated with metastatic lymph nodes.
Squamous cell carcinoma SCC is an important malignancy in head and neck tumors , Its high stages resulting in poor survival because of metastasis–especially lymph nodes- and secondary tumors . lymph nodes LN have biological importance because of their immunity role as a base of immunity defensive lines and lymphatic fluid purification, Recently chemokine receptors have been reported to be correlated with many malignancies ,In particular CCR7.
