Abstract

Although metastatic cervical lymph nodes are among the commonly encountered reasons of admission for squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck mucosal sites, squamous cell carcinomas metastatic to cervical lymph nodes from an unknown head and neck mucosal site are not frequently encountered. In this review, treatment options with demonstrated efficacy and validity in the setting of squamous cell carcinomas metastatic to cervical lymph nodes from an unknown head and neck mucosal site as of today, namely radiation therapy alone, neck dissection alone or radiation therapy in combination with neck dissection, have been analyzed.

Özet

Metastatik servikal lenf nodları, baş ve boyun mukozal bölgelerinin yassı hücreli karsinomaları için sık karşılaşılan başvuru nedenleri arasında olmakla birlikte, bilinmeyen bir baş ve boyun mukozal bölgesinden servikal lenf nodlarına metastatik yassı hücreli karsinomaların varlığı ile sık karşılaşılmamaktadır. Bu derlemede, günümüzde bilinmeyen bir baş ve boyun mukozal bölgesinden servikal lenf nodlarına metastatik yassı hücreli karsinomalar için etkinlikleri ve geçerlilikleri gösterilmiş olan tedavi seçenekleri arasında bulunan tek başına radyoterapi, tek başına boyun diseksiyonu ya da radyoterapi ile birlikte boyun diseksiyonu uygulamaları gözden geçirilmiştir.
