Predictors of Cervical Lymph Node Metastasis in Patients with Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Larynx.

Objectives: In this retrospective study, we evaluated the effectiveness of the tumor volume, grade invasion depth in the prediction of cervical lymph node metastasis.Identification of diagnostic parameters reliably predicting cervical lymph node involvement can be useful in improving the management of laryngeal cancer.

Methods: One hundred and seven patients with squamous cell carcinoma of larynx and who underwent surgery were assessed retrospectively.

Efficacy of Erb-Laser on Inferior Turbinate Hypertrophy: A Retrospective and Cohort Study.
