Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Treatment of the neck in head and neck carcinomas has been debated since years. The most recent guidelines suggest selective treatment of specific levels of lymph nodes. Moreover, some authors suggest to follow the so-called "T-N tract", in order to precisely identify the lymph nodes that have been or may potentially be involved by metastases. On the other hand, in some cases, selective treatment is not the best option, since PET imaging may enlight involvement of some lymph nodes that have previously resulted negative on CT imaging.
International guidelines suggest some standard treatment of the neck, but they are rapidly evolving, thus suggesting that that treatment is differently apprpached by clinicians.
This Special Issue aims to provide both an overview of the current practice regarding neck treatment and to open suggestions to possible future treatment, as both considered as more selective or demolitive.
We welcome the submission of reviews, and original research papers targeting any of these topics.
