TujuanUntuk mendapatkan data metastasis KGB retrofaring pada penderita KNF denganpemeriksaan CT nasofaring di Rumah Sakit Kanker “Dharmais”.MetodePenelitian studi deskriptif analitik dari data sekunder CT nasofaring penderitaKNF yang belum mendapatkan terapi radiasi dan kemoterapi. Penilaian metastasisKGB retrofaring dengan diameter aksial minimal ≥ 5 mm yang berada di levelatlas dekat arteri karotis interna. Penilaian massa tumor menurut TNM AJCC edisike-7 tahun 2010. Dilakukan uji statistik untuk mengetahui adanya hubunganmetastasis KGB retrofaring dengan massa tumor, tipe histopatologi, invasi lateral,dan massa tumor melewati midline.Hasil dan diskusiSebanyak 85 penderita KNF dengan subyek terbanyak laki-laki, umur rerata 43,2tahun, metastasis KGB retrofaring sebanyak 81 subyek, dan metastasis KGBservikal level II merupakan metastasis KGB terbanyak.KesimpulanMetastasis KGB retrofaring adalah metastasis KGB terbanyak kedua setelah KGBservikal level II. Kedua metastasis KGB ini merupakan drinase pertama metastasisKGB pada KNF.

Objectives

To get the data retropharyngeal lymph node metastatic in NPC patients with

nasopharyngeal CT examination in Dharmais Cancer Hospital.

Methods

Analytic descriptive study using secondary data from nasopharyngeal CT

examination of NPC patients who had not received radiation therapy and

chemotherapy. Assessment of retropharyngeal lymph node metastatic with

minimal axial diameter ≥ 5 mm at the level of the atlas near the internal carotid

artery. Tumor mass assessed according to the AJCC TNM 7th edition in 2010.

Performed statistical tests to determine the relationship retropharyneal lymph

node metastatic with tumor mass, histopathologic type, lateral invasion, and

tumor mass through the midline.

Result and discussion

A total of 85 patients with NPC most male subjects, mean age 43.2 years, 81

patients with retropharyngeal lymph node metastatic, and level II cervical lymph

node metastatic is the highest.

Conclusion

Retropharyngeal lymph node metastatic is the second highest after level II

cervical lymph node metastatic. Both of these lymph node metastatic is the first

drainage lymph node metastastic in NPC.
