Survival Impact and Risk Factors of Cervical Lymph Node Metastasis in Maxillary Gingival Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Retrospective Study of 81 Patients
CLNM is associated with poor survival in patients with MGSCC. Primary tumors extending into the gingivobuccal sulcus or maxillary tuberosity may predict CLNM, particularly at levels IB and II. These findings may provide valuable insights for optimizing neck management strategies.
