Detecting head and neck lymph node metastases with white light reflectance spectroscopy; a pilot study

Introduction: A challenge in the treatment of patients with head and neck cancer is the management of occult cervical lymph node (LN) metastases. Single-fiber reflectance (SFR) spectroscopy has the potential to detect physiological tissue changes that occur in a positive LN. This pilot study aimed t...
