Head and neck tumor neck lymph node biopsy after how long can radiotherapy

After neck lymph node biopsy for head and neck tumors, radiation can be given after the stitches are removed, because removing the stitches means that the wound has healed. However, it should be reminded that if enlarged lymph nodes are found in the neck, lymph node biopsy or puncture should not be carried out first. First of all, according to the location of lymph node mass, look for where the primary lesion is. In other primary lesions, if no other means are found at all, lymph node puncture or biopsy should be considered to clarify whether the enlarged mass of lymph node is benign or malignant. If other lesions are not ruled out and are not clear, lymph node biopsy or puncture is not good for the patient. If the tumor is malignant, it may increase its metastasis.
