Cervical lymph node metastasis in adenoid cystic carcinoma of the larynx: a collective international review

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (AdCC) of the head and neck is a well-recognized pathologic entity that rarely occurs in the larynx. Although the 5-year locoregional control rates are high, distant metastasis has a tendency to appear more than 5 years post treatment. Because AdCC of the larynx is uncommon, it is difficult to standardize a treatment protocol. One of the controversial points is the decision whether or not to perform an elective neck dissection on these patients. Because there is contradictory information about this issue, we have critically reviewed the literature from 1912 to 2015 on all reported cases of AdCC of the larynx in order to clarify this issue. During the most recent period of our review (1991-2015) with a more exact diagnosis of the tumor histology, 142 cases were observed of AdCC of the larynx, of which 91 patients had data pertaining to lymph node status. Eleven of the 91 patients (12.1%) had nodal metastasis and, based on this low proportion of patients, routine elective neck dissection is therefore not recommended

Legal Writing and Research Manual

The fourth edition of this manual preserves the basic goal of the first edition which was to assist first-year law students to become familiar with the research tools available to lawyers. It also provides basic information on the use of these tools. Much of the material in the third edition has been updated. In addition, there has been an expansion of material, much of it reflecting the proliferation of new legal publications in recent years. The former chapter on Primary Legal Materials has undergone important changes in an effort to demonstrate the diversity in the methods of publication and citation of primary legal materials in Canada and the United Kingdom. The former chapter on Secondary Legal Materials has been revised to reflect substantial changes to traditional sources including the Canadian Abridgment, Second Edition. The text is organized to simplify the students\u27 entry into all major Canadian and English abridgments, encyclopedias and digest services. The former chapter on Suggestions for Legal Research and Writing has been modified greatly and now includes a step by step guide to basic legal research and a sample memorandum of law. The former chapter on Computerized Legal Research\u27 has been revised to update programs such as QUICKLAW and to include new programs such as CanCite which add a new dimension to finding the law and retrieving cases
