| Popis: | Objectives: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of contrast enhanced CT scan to detect cervical nodal metastasis in oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma keeping final histopathology as gold standard. Methods: Cross sectional study conducted from 1st January 2015 - 31st October 2016. All patients undergoing surgery who had their CT scans done at our centre were included in the study. Diagnostic accuracy of CT scans was calculated using final histopathology as gold standard. All CT scan were reviewed by consultant radiologist. Results: Total 100 patients were reviewed, 70% were female, 55% had buccal and 32% had tongue cancer. 11 cases of T1, 20 cases of T2 , 4 cases of T3 and 21 cases of T4 stages were staged similarly by CT scan and histopathology, the kappa value of38.8%, p value |
