Diagnostic value of magnetic resonance lymphography in preoperative staging of clinically negative necks in squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity: A pilot study
Oral Oncology , 08/22/2011
Wensing BM et al. – This pilot study shows that magnetic resonance lymphography (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 squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity (SCCOC) seems to be limited.
