“…Some recommend palliative peels (a nononcologic debulking from the carotid artery). Some recommend carotid artery resection without graft revascularization, and some recommend resection with bypass grafting (1)(2)(3)(4). External-beam radiation therapy usually follows surgery/ although some authors advocate intraoperative irradiation (75-20 Gy) or interstitial irradiation or both (4,8).…”

“…A parede arterial e a bainha carotídea usualmente atuam como barreira à invasão tumoral, mas as lesões avançadas no pescoço podem aderir e invadir a artéria carótida, especialmente após o tratamento irradiante. Cerca de 5 a 20% dos pacientes submetidos a esvaziamento cervical tem algum envolvimento da artéria carótida 8,9 . Este envolvimento da carótida por uma metástase linfonodal não apenas indica um pior prognóstico, como também uma potencial contra-indicação à ressecção cirúrgica.…”
