Regarding oral cavity cancer, the high incidence of neck metastasis along with its impact on survival and prognosis are in favor of elective neck dissection. Moreover, occult metastases could develop at lower levels in the neck (levels IV-V) Regarding the tongue, the rate of skip (occult) metastasis involving unremoved level IV cervical lymph nodes in squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue ranges from 0 % - 11.4 %. However, no data is available or a correlation between the risk of level IV involvement and the affection of specific tongue subsites or a certain cutoff value of tumor thickness.

Assessment of the Effect of Tumor Thickness and Site on Level IV Cervical Lymph Nodes in Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Tongue and Floor of the Mouth: A Case Series Study

histological assessment of tumor thickness of the resected tumor and assessment of level IV lymph nodes

In each case the specimen will be assessed for level IV lymph nodes affection

histological assessment of level IV lymph nodes to determine if it is affected with tumor site on the tongue (lateral border, dorsum, ventral ....) which will be documented before surgery during examination
