Objective:

To define and validate extent-specific lymph node dissection (LND) adequacy thresholds associated with survival outcomes following neoadjuvant immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy for locally advanced oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).

Key Findings:
  • Inadequate LND was associated with worse overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) as per the study's findings.
  • Inadequate LND was linked to a higher risk of major complications in unilateral dissection, according to the study.
Interpretation:

Remove this section as it contains unsupported conclusions.

Limitations:
  • Add any limitations mentioned in the source material.
Conclusion:

Revise to state only the findings without implications about survival and safety.
