Description
Danilo Di Giorgio and co-workers review ten years of neck management in early mouth cancer at one Italian center, in a 2024 paper. In early-stage oral cancer with no sign of neck spread, about a third of patients still hide metastases in the neck. Whether to operate on the neck at once is debated.
Records covered one hundred twenty-one patients treated over a decade. The tongue was the most common site. Neck care split between planned dissection, watchful follow-up, and sentinel node biopsy. Survival was tied to the true node stage found later. Outcomes favored planned dissection and sentinel biopsy over watching alone. The authors share their center's experience to inform the debate.
