Official title
Utility and Cost-effectiveness of Microscopic Examination of the Neck Dissection Specimen in Its Entirety.
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Most patients with cancer of the head and neck are offered surgical resection of the primary tumor. In order to determine how the tumor will eventually behave, along with the resection of the primary tumor, lymph nodes present in the neck are also dissected. Different institutes have different protocol on handling of the specimen that is received by the pathology labs after dissection of the neck. The investigators intend to analyze the protocol that they use to evaluate the neck dissection specimen.
