Contemporary Assessment and Management of Head and Neck Cancer Surgical Margins

Head and neck cancer (HNC) is the sixth most common cancer worldwide,[1] which includes cancers of the aerodigestive tract, including lip, oral cavity, nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, pharynx, larynx, oropharynx, hypopharynx, salivary glands, and local lymph nodes.[2] More than 90% of these are head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC), arising from the mucosal lining in these regions.[3, 4]
