Abstract
Lymph node involvement has been shown to be a critical prognostic factor in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Lymph node yield (LNY), which is the total number of lymph nodes retrieved, and lymph node ratio (LNR), which is the ratio of positive lymph nodes to the total removed, are measurable indicators with promising prognostic significance. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance of LNY and LNR in predicting disease-free survival in patients with HNSCC undergoing
