Meanings of nodal ratio in English

HER-2 expression, number of sites, and primary nodal ratio are independent outcome predictors.

HER-2 and the axillary nodal ratio were independent predictors of OS.

Risk of death can be stratified based on nodal ratio.

Risk of death can be stratified by nodal ratio.

Conclusions: In squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity, an increased nodal ratio is a strong predictor of decreased survival.

Background: The association between nodal ratio and survival in oral cavity carcinomas has recently been proposed, but no prospective evaluations exist.

Methods: We sought to determine, using an institutional database, whether nodal ratio impacts survival in node-positive oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma.

Background: The association between nodal ratio and survival has not been assessed in squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck.

Conclusions: In patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity, an increased nodal ratio is a strong predictor of decreased survival.

The mean number of nodes identified was 41.6, and the mean nodal ratio was 9%.

The mean nodal ratio was 16.9%.

Nodal ratio was strongly statistically associated with overall and disease-specific survival in both univariate and multivariate analyses.

Nodal ratio was found to be strongly statistically associated with overall survival in both univariate and multivariate analyses.
