Management and Treatment of Neck Lymph Nodes in Laryngeal Carcinoma
摘要
The treatment of laryngeal carcinoma is directly influenced by the presence of metastatic cervical adenopathy that represents the most important predictable survivor factor. Management of cervical lymph nodes is determined by several factors, such as the site and stage of the laryngeal neoplasm, and the presence or absence of evident lymphatic metastases. Moreover, the pattern of spread of laryngeal squamous cells is site-specific and occurs in a predictable manner, strictly linked to the laryngeal lymphatic drainage.
