Positive factors on survival of head and neck cancer of unknown primary: what the clinician can do

CONCLUSION AND SIGNIFICANCE: Aspects for clinical decision-making: Curative MST and SCC histology were the most significant predictors for improved OS. Categorizing LN into 1, 2-3, and >3 LNs was more significant than the traditional N classification. The addition of CT to curative MST has a stronger impact on survival than HPV and N classifications.PMID:37842931 | DOI:10.1080/00016489.2023.2265937
