Is there a role for positron emission tomography with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose in the initial staging of nodal negative oral and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma

Background The aim of our study was to assess the value of positron emission tomography (PET) with 18F‐fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) for the staging of clinically nodal negative necks in oral and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) using sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy and elective neck dissecti...
