Abstract :

Background: Oral Squamous cell carcinoma spreads mainly by lymphatic to regional group of lymph nodes situated in the neck. Neck management strategies are important determinants in management and outcome of oral cancer. Objectives: To evaluated the management strategies for neck in different stages of oral Squamous cell carcinoma. Methodology: Using Ambiceptive observational design 100 cases of oral cancer admitted from Feb 2008 to 2010. Results: 36% patients underwent RND, 18% patients underwent MND, 24% patients underwent SOHD and 22 % patients were selected for observation protocol. 49% patients had well differentiated and 50% patients had moderately differentiated tumors.7 had primary site recurrence, 6 had neck recurrence and 2 had distant metastasis. Conclusion: SOHD remains the preferred neck dissection of well differentiated, early Squamous cell carcinoma of lip and buccal mucosa. RND is a good alternative for N1, N2 and N3 necks. Neck recurrence rates are same for both MND and RND.
