Efficiency of detection of primary head and neck tumors in the patients with cervical lymph nodes metastases
Frolova O.S.
Brief summary
The problem of primary tumor detection in the patients with neck lymph nodes metastases is of a great practical importance. Despite the permanent progress in diagnostic technologies, the share of occult primary in head and neck tumors remains steady for many years. The study has evaluated the effectiveness of consequently applied combinations of different diagnostic technologies. It was shown that ORL-oncologist examination can identify 66.7% primary head and neck tumors. Detection rate of pharyngeal and laryngeal fiber-optic endoscopy, MRI and CT was respectively 17.6%, 21.5% and 15.6%.
Key words
neck lymph nodes metastases, head and neck tumors, detection rate, pharyngeal and laryngeal fiber-optic endoscopy, neck MRI, neck CT, PET.
