Summary:Locoregional recurrence plays a key role in treatment failure of patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue. In a large amount of studies lymph node ratio could be demonstrated as a promising parameter to stratify risk of patients with oral cavity cancer. However data on the influence of lymph node ratio on locoregional recurrence of tongue squamous cell carcinoma is very rare. Retrospective chart review of 130 patients with treatment naive squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue. Exclusion criteria were neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, perioperative death, N3 disease, unresectable disease, synchronous malignancy, follow up
