Abstract

Objective: Describing the clinical and subclinical features of patietns presented with cervical lymph node metastases at National Cancer Hospital from 01/2022 to 08/2022 and evaluating the primary tumors of those patients. Patients and method: Descriptive and prospective study of  72 patients presented with cervical lymph node metastases at the time of diagnosis at National Cancer Hospital from 01/2022 to 08/2022. Results: Male patients were dominated (72.2%) and 77.8% of patients were less than 65 years old. Most of patients have history of smoking and/or drinking. ECOG 1 accounted for 59.7%. Bilateral cervical nodes were common (59.7%), the most common location metastatic nodes was upper jugular node (59.7%), then submandibular node (51.4%), suppraclavicular node was accounted for 37.5%. The most common histology was squamous cell carcinoma (58.2%), then adenocarcinoma was accounted for 34.7%. For evaluating the primary tumors, rate of head and neck cancers was 51.4% of cases, then lung cancer (22.2%), and rate of unknown primary was 13.9%. Conclusion: Cervical node metastatic patients presented with various clinical symptoms, and high rate of bilateral metastases. Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma was the most common tumors, and 13.9% of cases diagnosed of unknown primary cancers despite of using diagnosis methods.
