Background
The specificity of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) for detecting lymph node metastasis in head and neck melanoma (HNM) is low under current National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) treatment guidelines.
Methods
Multiple machine learning (ML) algorithms were developed to identify HNM patients at very low risk of occult nodal metastasis using National Cancer Database (NCDB) data...
Background
Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is a rare malignancy with high incidence of cervical lymph node (CLN) metastasis. We investigated the impact of nodal disease burden on survival.
Methods
We searched the National Cancer Database for MTC patients treated surgically. Impact of nodal metastasis on survival was analyzed using Cox univariable and multivariable regression.
Results
We identified...
Background
Small cohort studies have suggested oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC) could be associated with worse prognosis in individuals younger than 40.
Methods
We compared the survival of all OTSCC cases in the National Cancer Database under 40 years old with those older than 40, excluding patients over 70. Cox regression and propensity score matched (PSM) survival analyses were performed...
