INTRODUCTION: Fewer than 5% of @entity957 (SCC) are presented in the maxilla. The absence of cervical @entity1600 ( @entity1600 ) is one of the main positive prognostic factors. This single-centre study analysed the cervical @entity1600 behaviour in @entity1 with oral SCC of the upper jaw and serves as a basis for a cervical lymph node treatment suggestion. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The retrospective study includes 171 @entity1 with isolated SCC of the maxilla. In addition to @entity5 resection, 83% of the @entity1 underwent a selective @entity135 ( @entity135 ). The data of cervical @entity3 , TNM-status, @entity5 grade, @entity5 location as well as @entity1239 and @entity285 behaviour were statistically analysed. RESULTS: The average rate of cervical @entity3 was 44% in total. @entity5 stage significantly affected risk for cervical @entity3 (T1  =  6%, T2  =  41%, T3  =  60% and T4  =  60%) (p  <  0.01). Development of cervical @entity1600 was seemingly influenced by male gender. DISCUSSION: This study postulates a high rate of cervical @entity3 of maxillary SCC. Risk for @entity3 is mainly determined by the @entity5 stage. @entity285 and @entity1239 abuse have a negative impact on cervical @entity1600 . CONCLUSION: Reviewing recent literature underlined by the illustrated data, we put up for discussion the treatment of SCC of the maxilla as similar to therapy protocols for @entity1544 . This would include an @entity135 even in low @entity5 stage and in T4 staged @entity5 on both sides. However, prospective multicentre studies are needed to verify and recommend these therapy assumptions.
