Non-effect of regional lymph node removal on growth of ovine aural squamous cell carcinoma.
The effect of ipsilateral parotid lymphadenectomy on growth of lesions of aural squamous cell carcinoma in 10 adult ewes was compared over a 6-month period, with matched, tumour-affected controls that were not subjected to parotid lymphadenectomy. There was no significant difference between groups, indicating that the regional lymph node had no influence on the growth of the tumour.
