AbstractThe management of neck nodes in head and neck cancer is critical, given a markedly increased poor prognosis in patients with nodal metastasis. The surgical management of neck nodes has undergone radical changes secondary to a paradigm shift from curative surgery to nonsurgical organ and function-preserving options, such as radiation therapy. In the neck after treatment, radiologists should be familiar with imaging findings in various types of neck dissections and post-chemoradiation changes, along with signs of residual or recurrent disease. A multidisciplinary approach is essential with well-designed evidence-based surveillance imaging protocols and standardized reporting.Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
