Patterns of lymph node metastasis and treatment outcomes of parotid gland malignancies
Histological high grade and advanced T classification were associated with occult lymph node metastasis. Postoperative radiotherapy (RT)/radiochemotherapy (RCT), conferred significant survival benefits in PPC. Neck dissection in patients with cN0 cancer significantly improved DFS and should be performed on those with high-grade and/or advanced T-stage tumors.
