Predictive Value of PET CT in the Histologic Lymph Node Status of Patients With Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Oral N0 Clinical and Radiological Cavity.

Summary

Squamous cell carcinoma of the VADS represents the majority of cancers in ENT. Metastatic lymph node involvement is an important prognostic factor. In N0 patients clinically and scanographically, the prevalence of cervical lymph node metastasis remains important. Only the anatomopathological analysis of cervical lymph node dissection confirms the presence of a micro-metastasis. However, new criteria of interpretation in nuclear medicine seem promising in the detection of lymph node lesions not detectable in traditional imaging.

The main objective of this study is to study the positive predictive value (PPV) of CT scans in the anatomo-pathological analysis of N0 clinical and radiological or N + unilateral neck ganglia in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity.

Conditions

  • Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Oral
  • Clinically Node-Negative and Radiology

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

PET-CT

A PET-CT scan will be performed systematically for all patients included with the SUVmax, SUV peak, MTV of the lesion, and up to 3 suspicious ganglia during the visual analysis.
