Beyond N-Stage: The Prognostic Superiority of Lymph Node Ratio (LNR) and Extracapsular Extension (ECE) in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

2026-02-23

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p> <bold>Background:</bold> Nodal metastasis is the single most important prognostic factor in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC). The current AJCC 8th Edition TNM staging system relies on the number, size, and laterality of positive nodes (pN) and the presence of Extracapsular Extension (ECE). However, this system does not account for the quality of neck dissection or the bu...
