Lymph Node Density in Node-Positive Laryngeal Carcinoma: Analysis of Prognostic Value for Survival

Conclusions
LND was the only independent prognostic predictor of OS and DFS in patients with pN+ laryngeal SCC. Moreover, patients with LND ≥0.09 were significantly associated with high risk of regional recurrence. Thus, patients with LND ≥0.09 are at high risk of regional recurrence and death and may be considered for adjuvant chemoradiation.
