Intro The lymph node ratio (LNR) of metastasized lymph nodes can act as an important parameter for the overall survival of patients with head and neck cancer. The logarithmic odds ratio of positive lymph nodes (LODDS) and extracapsular growth (ECS) are also important predictors. The aim of our work was to use a database to retrospectively investigate these predictors of neck metastasis in relation to p16 and HPV status in a larger cohort.
