Head and Neck Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma Requiring Parotidectomy: Prognostic Indicators and Treatment Selection

Abstract

In this study, cervical, but not parotid, lymph node involvement was associated with poor outcomes in patients with advanced cSCC requiring a parotidectomy. In patients without evidence of cervical or parotid lymph node involvement, a neck dissection may be spared, given there is a 5% chance of occult disease.
