The prognosis of neck dissection with sternocleidomastoid muscle preservation and resection in advanced oral squamous cell carcinoma: a retrospective cohort analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Neck dissection with SCM preservation in AOSCC patients has no effect on survival and recurrence (including local recurrence and regional recurrence). It is feasible for AOSCC patients to undergo SCM-preserving neck dissection when metastatic cervical lymph nodes do not invade SCM. N stage and postoperative chemoradiotherapy affect the prognosis of AOSCC patients.PMID:38494969
