Yes, unless there’s a reason not to. For that matter, if it’s a high grade carcinoma and you know you’re going to add postop RT, don’t do the neck dissection and irradiate the neck. It is as effective.

For positive margin disease with aggressive SCC tumor (PNI, LVSI) involving up to the stylomastoid foramen, and neck nodes negative (except for an involved 'neurovascular bundle' at lvl 3), what doses would you use?
