ABSTRACT
Oral cavity cancer remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality globally, with a poor prognosis once the disease has metastasized to cervical lymph nodes. The anatomy of lymphatic drainage in the neck gives us a roadmap to follow when assessing for metastasis, although the predictive factors are still not well understood. The mainstay of treatment continues to be neck dissection. However, there is much debate on the management of the clinically negative neck. The necessity of elective neck dissection has been questioned in recent years, with other options such as sentinel lymph node biopsy gaining popularity. This review will explore the aspects of surgical management of the neck in oral cavity cancer and highlights the further research that needs to be done.
