Patterns of lymphatic spread in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma and personalization of the elective clinical target volume
We provided detailed information about lymphatic spread patterns of laryngeal SCC, depending on subsite, T-stage, lateralization, and upstream involvement. Subgroups of patients can be identified in whom the elective CTV or surgical approach may be reduced compared to current guidelines.
