[A comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic approach to cervical lymph node metastasis from unknown primary site (author's transl)].
Cervical lymph nodes metastasis from unknown primary lesion are rather infrequent but constitute a specific problem. The present study reports the results obtained from a series of fifty patients treated for such lesions from 1964 to 1976. It emphasizes that a comprehensive therapeutic approach is warranted and should combine surgery and radiation on the cervical areas and irradiation of mucosae that may harbour the primary.
