Proposing prognostic thresholds for lymph node yield in clinically lymph node‐negative and lymph node‐positive cancers of the oral cavity

More extensive neck dissection (≥16 lymph nodes in cN0, ≥ 26 lymph nodes in cN+) was associated with better survival. Further evaluation of practice patterns in lymph node yield may represent an opportunity for improved quality of care. Cancer 2016;122:3624-31. © 2016 American Cancer Society.
