Description
Summary:To compare the oncologic outcomes in patients with cT1N0 tongue squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) who underwent different neck management strategies stratified by sonographic depth of invasion (DOI). The included patients were retrospectively enrolled, and divided into two groups: observation (OBS) and elective neck dissection (END). The regional control (RC) and disease-specific survival (DSS) rates were compared and stratified by sonographic DOI. The mean sonographic and pathologic DOIs were 3.8 and 3.7 mm, respectively; the two DOIs were significantly correlated (Spearman correlation coefficient 0.974. p
