## Abstract ## BACKGROUND. Lymphatic vessel density (LVD) and microvessel density (MVD) are important parameters for assessing the malignant potential of tumors and patient survival. In this report, the authors defined LVD as the density of D2β40βpositive lymphatic vessels and MVD as the density o

## Abstract In patients with early head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), occult lymph node metastasis is difficult to predict by clinical or pathological parameters. However, such parameters are necessary to select patients either for elective neck dissection or the sentinel lymph node (SL
## Abstract ## Background. The clinically N0 neck in patients with oral SCC is commonly treated by neck dissection because the existence of metastases cannot be excluded. To determine whether unnecessary treatment could be avoided, we evaluated the feasibility of sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy.
## Abstract A retrospective study was made of the correlation between preβoperative clinical or histologic findings and the prevalence of lymph node metastasis in 60 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity who had histologically confirmed neck metastasis. Of these 60 patients, 39 w
