Impact of age stratification on risk of lymph node metastasis in T1 oral tongue squamous cell carcinomas patients
Our study demonstrates that younger patients with T1 OTSCC had a higher risk of LNM than their old peers, especially for tumors with poor differentiation. More accurate assessments of LNM and prophylactic neck dissection or prophylactic adjuvant radiation therapy to neck will be imperative for reducing recurrence in younger T1 OTSCC.
