Level V Metastases in Node-Positive Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Beyond Level IIA and III
Selective neck dissection for N+ OSCC is feasible in the N1 neck, preferably where nodal metastases is limited to level-I only. Patients with a bulky nodal disease, particularly those with N3 neck, ≥5 positive nodes, ENE, and metastatic lymph nodes in levels II and III should be offered comprehensive neck dissection.
