Risk Factors Analysis of Pathologically Confirmed Cervical Lymph Nodes Metastasis in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma Patients with Clinically Negative Cervical Lymph Node: Results from a Cancer Center of Central China
Conclusion: The growth pattern, degree of differentiation, depth of invasion, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, and the short/long axis diameter ratio of lymph nodes were the independent risk factors for pathological cervical lymph node metastasis in oral squamous cell carcinoma patients with cN0. If patients with the above risk factors receive nonstandard radical neck dissection or no dissection, it may be necessary for them to receive the corresponding regional postoperative radiotherapy.
