Clinical Trial Summary

Cervical lymph node metastasis is the most important prognostic factor of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Therapeutic neck dissection (I-V region) has always been regarded as the standard scheme of neck surgery for patients with cN+ OSCC and however, it has brought obvious side effects, which seriously affects the postoperative quality of life of patients. In addition, excessive neck lymph node dissection will also affect the local immune function of patients to some extent and reduce the body's response to immunotherapy. Lymph node metastasis of primary oral squamous cell carcinoma follows certain rules. Most of the metastatic areas are I-II, and low-level metastasis is very rare. Therefore, more than 90% of patients with cN+ oral squamous cell carcinoma who have undergone Therapeutic neck dissection may have suffered from "excessive dissection of area of IV and V". Both the long-term clinical experience of surgeons and a large number of recent retrospective studies show that elective neck dissection (I-III region) is safe enough for patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma of cN1 and part of cN2.There is clearly a need therefore for a large randomized trial that will resolve the issue either way once and for all.


Clinical Trial Description

There are controversies on the benefits of therapeutic neck dissection (I-V region) for clinically T1-2N1M0 oral squamous cell carcinoma(cT1-2N1M0). The aim of this study is to determine the need for a randomized controlled trial in order to evaluate the safety of elective neck dissection (I-III region) for patients of cT1-2N1M0. We initiate this study, expecting 188 primary oral cancer patients to be enrolled. And we are going to randomly divide these patients into two groups: "elective neck dissection (END)" and "therapeutic neck dissection (TND)". The END group will undergo one stage surgery of END and primary tumor excision, and the TND group will be treated with one stage surgery of TND and primary tumor excision. All patients will be followed up with at least 2 years after initial treatment, and the neck recurrence rate (primary outcome measures), postoperative complication rate, quality of life and survival between groups will be compared. ;
