Between 1978 and 1982, 41 patients with clinically staged N1, N2, or N3b disease underwent unilateral or bilateral modified radical neck dissection. Five patients died free from their original disease with less than 24 months follow-up. Twenty-four patients with histologically positive nodes received postoperative radiotherapy with 2 (8 percent) neck recurrences. Another four patients with histologically positive nodes refused postoperative radiotherapy and had two (50 percent) neck recurrences. Three patients did not respond to radiotherapy at the time of their surgery and had no neck recurrences. The final five patients had histologically negative nodes, did not receive radiotherapy, and had no neck recurrences. These results suggest that modified radical neck dissection can be used in lieu of the classical radical dissection in many patients with clinically positive nodes who have squamous cell head and neck cancer without compromising survival.
