Observational analysis characterizes lymphatic progression across lymph node levels in oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma, highlighting pathways for targeted therapy.
Whereas the prevalence of lymph node level (LNL) involvement in oral cavity squamous cell carcinomas (OCSCC) has been reported, the details of lymphatic progression patterns are insufficiently quantified. We investigate how the risk of metastases in each LNL depends on the involvement of adjacent LNLs, T-category, subsite, primary tumor lateralization, and other risk factors.
