A 5 year review of extended (abdominal and chest) staging scan findings for head and neck cancer patients in NHS Lanarkshire

Introduction: Radiological staging of head and neck (H&N) cancer patients is essential to direct clinical management. Extended cross-sectional imaging facilitates pre-operative planning and acts as prognostic factor. The extension of head and neck staging scan below the neck region may provide extra information. We aimed to identify the incidence of findings below the neck, in an extended field. The significance of these were to be analyzed. (Source: The British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)
