Lymph node density as a prognostic predictor in patients with betel nut-related oral squamous cell carcinoma

Objectives: Lymph node metastasis in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a poor prognostic factor. The histopathologic stage (e.g., pN) is used to evaluate the severity of lymph node metastasis; however, the current staging system insufficiently predicts survival and recurrence. We investigated c...
