Summary

Most patients with cancer of the head and neck are offered surgical resection of the primary tumor. In order to determine how the tumor will eventually behave, along with the resection of the primary tumor, lymph nodes present in the neck are also dissected. Different institutes have different protocol on handling of the specimen that is received by the pathology labs after dissection of the neck. The investigators intend to analyze the protocol that they use to evaluate the neck dissection specimen.
