B & C. Schematic illustrations demonstrate the ipsilateral (B) and contralateral (C) nodal groups most likely at risk for developing nodal metastases from base of tongue carcinoma. On the ipsilateral side, Group II is at greatest risk for developing nodal metastases. The group at highest risk for nodal metastases on the contralateral side is Group II.
