PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Surgical treatment of parotid cancer presents challenges due to the rarity of the disease, the histologic heterogeneity, and the complex regional anatomy. Recently published international guidelines contain recommendations for surgical management of the primary tumor and the neck lymph nodes, but still allow both T and N to be managed in different ways. This review summarizes the remaining areas of discussion.
RECENT FINDINGS: The reference treatment for parotid cancer is total parotidectomy; however, for low-grade, low-stage tumors a superficial parotidectomy may be sufficient. The cN+ neck requires a comprehensive neck dissection; for cN0 multiple valuable options remain. Frozen section analysis on level II nodes can guide the extent of neck dissection. The definition of 'clear margins' remains debated; close margins in low-grade tumors appear to be acceptable, positive margins always require additional treatment.
SUMMARY: A thorough understanding of the guidelines, fine-tuned if needed based on accurate preoperative workup and intraoperative surgeon's decision-making will provide the best outcome for the patient with parotid cancer.
