Description
Radiation treatment for mouth cancer must cover the neck nodes most likely to harbor spread, without over-treating the rest. Chaoyang Jiang and eight co-authors map how involvement at one neck level relates to involvement at others, analyzing 208 patients with oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma. Levels just under the jaw and in the upper neck were involved most often.
The correlation map is detailed. Spread at the level under the chin links to the levels beside it and low in the front of the neck. Upper-neck levels link among themselves and down to the mid-neck. Tumor stage linked only to the low front level. The authors propose treating linked levels as the high-risk region and unlinked ones as low-risk, making the target outline more personal and precise for each patient.
