Abstract:Background and Objective
Head and neck carcinoma of unknown primary is a diagnostic dilemma. The clinical and imaging workup remains ineffective in two-thirds of patients. Transoral robotic surgery has shown an advantage in the primary detection over the previous standard panendoscopy.
Methods
This is an observational cohort study that took place at a large healthcare centre with robotic surgery experience in head and neck over six-years. All included carcinoma of unknown primary patient… Show more
