Should upfront neck dissection in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma obviate the need for chemo in a T1N2 oropharyngeal cancer with no ECE?

While I do not advocate a neck dissection to avoid chemotherapy, when these patients come to our institution already having a ND performed, if there is no ENE and the primary tumor is small, I think RT alone is reasonable.
