## Abstract ## Background. Because of the impact of nodal status on treatment and survival in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, accurate staging of cervical lymph nodes is critical. This article explores the value of molecular analyses in the detection of cervical lymph node metastasis
## Abstract ## Background. We investigated the incremental diagnostic value of short tau inversion recovery (STIR) MRI to detect cervical nodal metastases in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. ## Methods. Thirtyβsix patients with cervical nodal metastases underwent MRI preceding neck dissect
