| Figure 10: Nasopharyngeal Cancer
A. Axial schematic illustration of a nasopharyngeal carcinoma (Reprinted with permission from reference 26)).
B & C: Schematic illustrations demonstrate the ipsilateral (B) and contralateral (C) nodal groups most likely at risk for developing nodal metastases from nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Note that only the most common nodal groups are highlighted on each side using the following color scheme: red > 45%, dark blue = 15%-45%, purple < 15%. This paradigm will be followed for all following subsite illustrations. On the ipsilateral side, Groups II and V are most likely at risk for developing nodal metastases. The groups at highest risk for metastases on the contralateral side are Groups II and V. (Reprinted with permission from reference 25)
