Аннотация
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The aim of this article is to update readers on the most recent evidence on the role of trans oral surgery (TOS) in the diagnosis of carcinoma of the unknown primary of the head and neck.
RECENT FINDINGS: Tongue base mucosectomy has an important role in identifying the primary in patients who have had negative imaging, PET CT scans and ipsilateral tonsillectomy. In patients with bilateral nodal disease, tongue base mucosectomy should precede tonsillectomy. There are several unanswered questions that remain regarding sequencing of operations and use of intraoperative frozen section.
SUMMARY: An evidence-based approach to diagnosis is important to ensure the highest detection rates, and least morbidity, in patients with head and neck carcinoma of the unknown primary.
