Cervical lymph node excision, also known as neck dissection, becomes necessary under various circumstances, including: 1. Suspected or Confirmed Cancer: When cervical lymph nodes are affected by cancer, excision may be required to remove malignant tissue and prevent the spread of cancer to other parts of the body. 2.
