Extended neck dissection

This study defines the clinical settings in which extended radical neck dissection (ERND) was performed and determines its impact on control of disease in the neck and on survival. We reviewed the records of 106 patients undergoing ERND between 1984 and 1993. Most (76) had metastatic squamous cell c...

Description
Summary:This study defines the clinical settings in which extended radical neck dissection (ERND) was performed and determines its impact on control of disease in the neck and on survival. We reviewed the records of 106 patients undergoing ERND between 1984 and 1993. Most (76) had metastatic squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) that had extended to extranodal structures in the upper neck. Five-year disease-free survival was 39%, and disease was controlled in the neck in 72 patients (68%) with a median follow-up of 5.5 years. A trend toward better survival was seen in patients with SCC (47% at 5 years), compared with those with other histologies (24% at 5 years; P
