Summary

The Czech Head and Neck Cancer Cooperative Group (CHNCCG) held a meeting in Tabor on 11-12 October 2019 with the aim of reaching an interdisciplinary consensus on some controversial points where international unity is absent. The meeting resulted in recommendations on resection margin size terminology (definition of terms: negative margin, close margin and positive margin) and on the adoption of terminology for neck dissections reporting according to the International Recommendation of the International Head and Neck Scientific Group and on assessment of HPV/p16 status in head and neck tumors.

Keywords:

head and neck cancer – recommendation – resection margin – neck dissection – HPV – p16
