Outcomes following chemoradiotherapy for N3 head and neck squamous cell carcinoma without a planned neck dissection

Abstract

Objectives: The optimal management of the N3 neck in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) remains controversial. We report the outcomes of patients with N3 disease treated with a strategy of concurrent chemo-radiotherapy (CRT) +/- induction chemotherapy (ICT) without a planned neck dissection.
