“…The detection of more number of lymph nodes however inevitably leads to a lower specificity and as the differentiation between reactive and metastatic is based on morphologic criteria, this leads to low specificity. 23 Our US results are comparable to previous studies. 4,17,18 The results of our study shows that the accuracy of US alone never exceeds 70% as any rise in sensitivity is always accompanied by a decrease in specificity.…”

“…A portion of the patients had been enrolled in a multicenter study on the value of ultrasound with ultrasoundguided fine-needle aspiration biopsy in the assessment of the nodal status of the neck in patients with HNSCC. 13 The population characteristics (ie, age; sex; site; and T, N, and pN stage) are summarized in Table 1. The proteins were analyzed using immunohistochemistry as previously described.…”

“…[45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52] Even nonpalpable lymph nodes can be biopsied under ultrasound guidance (Figure 18). According to the literature, this technique yields the highest accuracy rates in the diagnosis of cervical lymph node metastases.…”
