Methods: The records of 49 node-negative individuals with thin head and neck melanoma that underwent surgical intervention ± sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy were reviewed.
Results: A significant increased Breslow thickness and mitotic rate, and a trend toward significance in Clark level ≥ IV were shown in patients that underwent an SLN biopsy versus those that did not.
Objectives/hypothesis: Contralateral cervical metastases represent an avoidable source of failure in squamous cell carcinoma (SCCa) of the oral tongue. We sought to identify risk factors for the development of contralateral cervical metastases in T1/T2 oral tongue SCCa.
Study Design: Retrospective review.
Objective: : Management of pediatric cholesteatomas remains controversial. We reviewed our 16-year experience in the surgical treatment of cholesteatomas in children and describe a treatment paradigm.
Study Design: : The authors conducted a retrospective review.
Objectives/hypothesis: The aim of the study was to show the efficacy of selective neck dissection in combination with postoperative radiation therapy in controlling squamous cell carcinoma metastatic to the cervical lymph nodes. The study compared the incidence of recurrences and overall disease-free survival between comparable cohorts undergoing a selective neck dissection and classic radical or modified neck dissection.
Study Design: Retrospective, 25-year review was made of data from a tertiary care academic facility comprising both private patients and veterans.
