Utility of Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography in Identification of Residual Nodal Disease after Chemoradiation for Advanced Head and Neck Cancer

Objectives: Planned neck dissection after chemoradiation (CR) is often advocated in patients with head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC) with advanced nodal disease who demonstrate a clinical complete response to CR because identification of residual occult nodal disease is difficult. We sought...
