Abstract
According to the NCCN guidelines, there is weak evidence to support the use of elective neck dissection (END) in early-stage oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OCSCC). We sought to examine the indications for END in patients with cT1N0M0 OCSCC defined according to the AJCC Staging Manual, Eight Edition.
