## Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate lymphatic drainage patterns of head and neck cutaneous melanoma observed on preoperative lymphoscintigraphy and sentinel lymph node biopsy (slnb) and determine discordancy from clinically predicted lymphatic drainage patterns. ## Methods: W
## Abstract ## Background Lymphatic drainage from skin on the head and neck is complex. We sought to provide improved visualization and analysis of the patterns of head and neck skin lymphatic drainage using aggregated lymphoscintigraphy data. ## Methods Lymphoscintigraphy data from 929 patients
## Background: Potential lymphatic drainage patterns from cutaneous melanomas of the head and neck are said to be variable and frequently unpredictable. the aim of this article is to correlate the anatomic distribution of pathologically involved lymph nodes with primary melanoma sites and to compar
## Abstract Head and neck cancers are treated by a combination of surgery, radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy. The clinical success of cisplatinβbased chemotherapy, mostly in combination with 5βFU or a taxane, is however limited by multifactorial intrinsic or acquired resistance. So far, known genes
