Table 3.

Nodal involvement at presentation by site and histology

Site/histology % nodal involvement (n) p-value (compared with the reference standard) Levels at highest risk
All small cell 13.8 (29) 0.26b IIa, IIIb, contralaterala
Nasal/ethmoid SNUC 16.7 (60) 0.02a IIa
Non-nasal/non-ethmoid SNUC 32.7 (52) <0.001a Ia, IIa, IIIa, contralateralb, parotidb
T2 glottic larynx without supraglottic extension (reference standard) 7.1 (562) N/A N/A
T2 glottic larynx with supraglottic extension 9.7 (1490) N/A N/A

Reference standard (T2 glottic without supra/subglottic involvement = 7.1%, n = 562).

a

p < 0.05.

b

p > 0.05, but absolute incidence higher than T2 glottic larynx with subglottic or supraglottic extension patients receive elective nodal treatment as standard of care.
