Utility of positron-emission tomography/computed tomography imaging in the management of the neck in recurrent laryngeal cancer.

Abstract

We believe that this false negative rate is too high to warrant deferring neck dissection based on PET/CT, and we recommend that patients who are clinically N0 for recurrent laryngeal cancer be offered neck dissection along with salvage laryngectomy.
