Diagnostic value of magnetic resonance lymphography in preoperative staging of clinically negative necks in squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity: A pilot study

This pilot study shows that MRL has a high NPV based on a node-to-node analysis. However, its PPV was only 10%, and therefore its use as a single imaging technique in the preoperative staging of the cN0 neck in SCCOC seems to be limited. Further studies are needed to confirm these data.
