## Abstract ## Background. Facial node involvement in head and neck cancer is rarely documented. Furthermore, facial node removal may increase the risk of damage to the marginal mandibular nerve. Thus, although they may receive afferent lymphatic drainage from the oral cavity, facial nodes are rar

## Abstract ## Background. Metastases are the primary cause of cancer treatment failure and death, yet metastatic mechanisms remain incompletely understood. ## Methods. We studied the molecular basis of head and neck cancer metastasis by transcriptionally profiling 70 samples from 27 patients—ma
## Abstract ## Background. Cystic lymph node metastases have been associated with tonsil cancer. A subset of oropharyngeal cancers contain human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA. The clinical and virologic associations of cystic nodal metastasis in head and neck cancer (HNSCC) were investigated. ## Metho
## Abstract The pathological findings in 62 patients with head and neck cancers who underwent neck dissection during a 12‐month period are presented. Histological confirmation of metastatic disease was obtained in 46 cases (74%). In the remaining 16 cases (26%), there was no evidence of metastasis
## Abstract ## Background. Lymphatic metastasis represents the single most important clinical prognostic factor in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), but underlying genetic mechanisms remain ill defined. Genetic differences between primary carcinomas and their corresponding metastases
