Research Abstract

We focused on the neck fat locating between neck lymph nodes and the primary lesion in patients with head and neck cancer. Fat-Associated Lymphoid Cluster(FALC) was identified in human neck and investigated the relevance of cancer metastasis. These cell populations were significantly reduced by radiation therapy.On the other hand these cells were significant increased in the affected side of the neck and in patients' neck with distant metastasis. FALC might have some relationship to the metastatic ability of head and neck cancer.
