The aim of this study is to evaluate risk factors of neck recurrence in patients with pN1-N2 neck stage, submitted to a modified radical neck dissection with preservation of the internal jugular vein.
We reviewed the medical records of 72 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity (43 cases) and oropharynx (29 cases). The clinical stage of the neck was N1 in 23 cases and N2a-c in 49.
Neck recurrences occurred in 6 cases at the side in which the internal jugular vein was preserved. Neck recurrence did not have significant correlation with tumor site (P = .391), T stage (P = .999), N stage (P = .203), adjuvant radiotherapy (P = .999), number of positive lymph nodes (P = .180), lymph nodes size (P = .429), and extracapsular spread (P = .400).
Modified radical neck dissection with internal jugular vein preservation can be performed in selected patients with lymph node metastases, with no significant increase on the risk of neck recurrence.
本研究旨在评估接受保留颈内静脉的改良根治性颈清扫术的pN1 - N2期颈部患者颈部复发的危险因素。
我们回顾了72例口腔鳞状细胞癌(43例)和口咽鳞状细胞癌(29例)患者的病历。颈部临床分期为N1的有23例,N2a - c的有49例。
在保留颈内静脉一侧有6例出现颈部复发。颈部复发与肿瘤部位(P = 0.391)、T分期(P = 0.999)、N分期(P = 0.203)、辅助放疗(P = 0.999)、阳性淋巴结数量(P = 0.180)、淋巴结大小(P = 0.429)及包膜外扩散(P = 0.400)均无显著相关性。
对于部分有淋巴结转移的患者可施行保留颈内静脉的改良根治性颈清扫术,且不会显著增加颈部复发风险。
