- Abstract
This article discusses a study which investigated the role of neck treatment in the management of cancer of the oral tongue. The researchers conducted elective neck dissection (END) in a group of patients. They concluded that END should be performed routinely in patients with early-stage oral tongue cancer, even in the presence of negative neck by computed tomography scans and magnetic resonance imaging.
