Improved prognostic stratification of patients with pN3b oral cavity cancer based on maximum standardized uptake value of metastatic nodes, lymph node ratio, and level of cervical nodal metastases

Improved prognostic stratification of patients with pN3b oral cavity cancer based on maximum standardized uptake value of metastatic nodes, lymph node ratio, and level of cervical nodal metastases

Objectives: The prognosis of pN3b oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OCSCC) remains heterogeneous. We sought to improve the prognostic stratification of patients with pN3b OCSCC through a combined analysis of FDG-PET parameters and clinicopathological risk factors (RFs). Methods: From 2001 to 2019...
