| Abstract;The purpose of this study was to propose indication of elective neck dissection for Stage I, II tongue carcinoma. Fifty patients seen between 1985 and 1996 with previously treated Stage I, II tongue carcinoma were reviewed. All patients were treated with partial glossectomy without elective neck dissection. Among these patients, 7 had latent cervical lymph node metastasis. In a multivariate logistic regression analysis, modelately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue with tumor depth .GEQ.4mm had risk factor for latent cervical lymph node metastasis and overall survival. Therefore, we suggest that elective neck dissection is indicated in patients with tumor depth .GEQ.4mm with moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue with tumor depth .GEQ.4mm had risk factor latent cervical lymph node metastasis and overall survival. Therefore, elective neck dissection could be indicated in patients with tumor depth .GEQ.4mm with moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue. (author abst.) |
