OTOLARYNGOLOGY-HEAD AND NECK SURGERY, vol.146, no.3, pp.390-394, 2012 (SCI-Expanded)
Objective. Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas readily metastasize to adjacent cervical lymph nodes. This is seen frequently in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), and neck dissection may be performed in addition to excision of the primary lesion. The aim of this study was to define the frequency of level IIb metastasis to the lymph nodes in patients who underwent selective neck dissection because of LSCC.
