Intraoperative Molecular Imaging Can Detect Large Nerve Perineural Invasion: A Case Report
ABSTRACT Background Perineural invasion (PNI) in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) results in worse overall survival. Diagnosis requires resection and microscopic evaluation. Methods A 63‐year‐old male with persistent cT4aN0 p16‐positive SCC of the left base of tongue following chemoradiotherapy underwent salvage total glossectomy ...
