Midline involvement and perineural invasion predict contralateral neck metastasis that affects overall and disease-free survival in locally advanced oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma

Midline involvement and perineural invasion predict contralateral neck metastasis that affects overall and disease-free survival in locally advanced oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma

IntroductionAlthough patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma who develop contralateral neck metastasis (CLNM) have worse survival outcomes than those without CLNM, accurate prediction of occult CLNM in clinically negative contralateral neck (contralateral cN0) remains difficult. This study aimed...
