Abstract
Background: The increased average age of the world population coupled with long-term sun exposure has led to an increase in the incidence of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC). The incidence of nodal metastasis in such patients is thought to range from less than 5% to up to 20% in some reports. Mortality rates following a metastasis have been shown to be high, demonstrating the importance of early detection of metastatic nodes. The aim of our study was to ascertain the value of a routine ultrasound scan (USS) for every patient following head and neck cSCC diagnosis in screening for metastatic disease.
