Abstract
Level IIa is the main level involved in regional metastases of HNSCC, regardless of the primary site of cancer. However, in eight (6.7%) patients, level II was spared, as confirmed by IHC. In these cases, level II did not represent the first step of drainage from the tumor. The sentinel lymph node technique in HNSCC is discussed in light of these results.
