Does Age Affect the Size of Metastatic Lymph Nodes in Head and Neck Cancer?
The aim of the study was to determine if age plays a role in the size of metastatic lymph nodes in elderly patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC). In 180 HNSCC patients with metastatic lymph nodes, largest metastatic lymph node (SMLN), diameter of metastatic deposit (DMD), and the ratio of non-metastatic lymphoid tissue to the size of largest metastatic lymph node (R...
متن کاملMechanisms of cyst formation in metastatic lymph nodes of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma
Cystic change in metastatic lymph nodes occurs in certain types of tumors and mostly in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. In the majority of cases, psuedocystic change is the mechanism of cyst formation. However, sometimes a true cyst cavity is formed. This occurrence is unexplained and some theories are introduced to explain it. In this paper, related articles and introduced concep...

This is why several techniques are curently in use to determine the actual TNM clasiffication for each patient in order to apply best suited therapy management. Up until today the staging of t...
متن کاملreview the appropriate approach for evaluation of metastatic cervical lymph nodes on cross-sectional neck imaging
the imaging assessment of nodal disease can be challenging for the radiologist because there are multiple sites to review and differing opinions about criteria for abnormal nodes. the ability to accurately detect nodal metastases is improved with knowledge of the criteria for abnormal nodes, the nodal drainage patterns, and common imaging pitfalls. in this article, we introduce these basic conc...
متن کاملApparent diffusion coefficient for discriminating metastatic lymph nodes in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.
PURPOSE We aimed to evaluate the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of metastatic lymph nodes in patients with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the head and neck. METHODS Patients with metastatic lymph nodes underwent 1.5 Tesla diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The ADC values of the histologically proven metastases were evaluated retrospectively and mean ADC values...
