Can you spare radiation to the neck on a lateralized supraglottic cancer with cN0 neck clinically and neg nodes on PET?

I would not advise it. Supraglottis has high risk of bilateral lymph node drainage, even if clinically and radiologically node negative. Not aware of any data to support sparing the neck. You can treat to a lower dose, but must treat bilateral levels 2-4.
