CT for estimating adequacy of lymph node dissection in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck

Abstract Background Indices obtained from lymph node dissection specimens, specifically lymph node yield (LNY) and lymph node ratio (LNR), have prognostic significance in the setting of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCCa). However, there are currently no validated tools to estimate adequa...
