39 Lymph Nodes Target Volumes

40 Lymph Nodes: Key Principles For cases of lateralized cancer in which only the ipsilateral neck would ordinarily require therapy, contralateral neck treatment is always added when the ipsilateral neck involvement is greater than N1. Levels IB and IV are treated in all cases in the neck side with clinical involvement of Levels II or III. Level V is treated in the neck side with involvement of Levels II-IV, in all cases. The retropharyngeal nodes are treated bilaterally in all cases of oropharyngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer with clinical involvement of Levels II-IV (in cases of early lateralized oro- pharyngeal tumors with small N1 disease, treat ipsilaterally). Level VI nodes are treated in all cases with clinical involvement of Level IV nodes. Eisbrusch et al. Sem in Rad Oncol. 2002
