Brief Summary:
Extranodal extension (ENE) refers to the spread of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) outside the lymph nodes.It is a well-known factor that indicates a poorer prognosis and outcome for patients who have undergone surgical removal of the cancer.In such cases, it is recommended to combine chemotherapy with radiation therapy after surgery.As the number of cases of HNSCC related to the human papillomavirus (HPV) is increasing, treatment approaches have shifted towards using radiation therapy as the primary…
