Abstract
The unpredictable behavior of malignant disease has led many oncologists to search for factors which may be used to forecast prognosis. Histologic evidence of extracapsular spread (ECS) of metastatic disease in cervical lymph nodes has been recognized as a predictor of poor prognosis in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.
