The aim is to study the patterns of lymph node metastasis from various sites in oral cavity cancer and determine the risk factors for metastasis.
It is a prospective observational study. The inclusion criteria were-245 patients of carcinoma buccal mucosa, anterior two-thirds of tongue, hard palate, oral surface of soft palate, floor of mouth, vestibule, and alveolus. The exclusion criteria were-patients who had received preoperative chemotherapy or radiotherapy and patients with recurrent disease.
All data were analyzed using SPSS 18.0 and Graphpad prism 7 software for statistical analysis. Count data have been expressed as percentages (%). The
test was used for univariate analysis of the risk factors of cervical lymph node metastasis. The odds ratio value (with 95% confidence interval) was used to express the risk of cervical lymph node metastasis.
