BackgroundA multicenter, randomized controlled phase III trial was conducted on sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) and elective neck dissection for T1 (depth of invasion ≥ 4 mm)–T2N0M0 oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma. This study identified factors associated with poor prognosis in patients who underwent SLNB based on a subgroup analysis of this trial.MethodsWe analyzed 418 sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) from 132 patients who underwent SLNB. The metastatic SLNs were classified into three categories based on size-isolated tumor cells: < 0.2 mm, micrometastasis: ≥ 0.2 mm and < 2 mm, and macrometastasis: ≥ 2 mm. Three groups were formed based on the number of metastatic SLNs: no metastasis, 1 metastatic node, and ≥ 2 metastatic nodes. The size and number of metastatic SLNs on survival were evaluated using Cox proportional hazard models.ResultsPatients with macrometastasis and ≥ 2 metastatic SLNs had worse overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) after adjustment for potential confounders (HR for OS: macrometastasis, 4.85; 95% CI 1.34–17.60; ≥ 2 metastatic SLN, 3.63; 95% CI 1.02–12.89; HR for DFS: macrometastasis, 2.94; 95% CI 1.16–7.44; ≥ 2 metastatic SLN, 2.97; 95% CI 1.18–7.51).ConclusionsIn patients who underwent SLNB, a poorer prognosis was associated with macrometastasis or having ≥ 2 metastatic SLNs.
