Prognostic Effect of Neck Dissection and Risk Factors for Occult Lymph Node Metastasis in cN0 Parotid Carcinoma
Poorly differentiated tumors in cN0 PC are independently associated with a higher risk of OLNM. While prophylactic neck dissection may enhance PFS in patients with higher grade or poorly differentiated tumors, it does not confer a survival benefit in terms of OS. These findings support the selective use of neck dissection in patients with higher risk tumor profiles.
