Background We hypothesized that incorporation of tumor thickness into the tumor–node–
metastasis (TNM) system will provide better prognostic information. Tumors were …

Prognostic stratification in squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the head and neck has
traditionally relied on the pathological staging of a tumour, but it is increasingly being …

Abstract Purpose To apply the Brandwein-Gensler et al.'s histopathologic risk score (RS)
system and to evaluate its impact on locoregional recurrence and overall survival in a series …

Background This multicenter study was undertaken to characterize the metastatic behavior
of oral maxillary squamous carcinoma and to determine the role of selective neck dissection …

OBJECTIVES: The diagnosis of cervical lymph node metastasis in head and neck squamous
cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients constitutes an essential requirement for clinical staging …

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) has an unpredictable capacity to metastasize to the
neck, an event that dramatically worsens prognosis. Metastasis occurs even in earlier stages …

Abstract Background Sentinel nodes (SNs) are the lymph nodes that directly receive
lymphatic flow from a primary cancer lesion. The SN concept implies that lymphatic …

Objectives Lymph node (LN) metastasis of oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is
associated with survival outcomes. However, the relationship between different metastatic …

Background The association between nodal ratio and survival has not been assessed in
squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck. Methods This is a population‐based …

Background To validate the newly proposed American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC)
eighth edition staging in early T1 and T2 oral cavity cancers and its effect in predicting …
