Abstract
Lymph node density is defined as the number of positive lymph nodes per total number of excised lymph nodes. In the treatment of oral and maxillofacial cancer, there are recent data showing that increased lymph node density leads to worse outcomes for patients,1 thus advocating the use of lymph node density as an independent prognosticating factor.2 However, there is paucity of data regarding the correlation of lymph node density with other evidence-based parameters for assessment of prognosis and treatment decision-making, such as the depth of tumor invasion. Our study specifically sought to identify if a correlation exists between depth of invasion and cervical lymph node density.
