Sentinel lymph node biopsy provides better regional control than observation in early stage maxillary squamous cell carcinoma by Yannan Wang, Xu Zhang, Junhui Yuan, Zhengquan Zhou, Wei Du, Fei Liu, Jing Wang

“…BackgroundAn observational approach in the management of the cervical region in instances of maxillary squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) results in appreciable treatment failure, necessitating a more efficacious neck intervention. Our objective was to compare the efficacy of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) versus observation regarding regional control (RC) in patients diagnosed with cT1/2N0 maxillary SCC.MethodsPatients who underwent SLNB or observation for neck management in primary cT1/2N0 maxillary SCC were retrospectively enrolled. …”
