✦ Synopsis

T h e staging system for head and neck cancer is important both for selecting appropriate treatment as well as evaluating cancer treatment statistics. The accuracy of the staging depends not only on the extent of the diagnostic procedures utilized but also on the state of advancement of the disease. The more advanced the cancer is, the more accurate the staging becomes. Patients, for example, with T1 NO lesions are more likely to be staged incorrectly than those who have T3 N3 lesions. Unfortunately, errors at the low end of the scale may have more devastating results since they may lead to insufficient treatment for the patient.
