Inclusion of extranodal extension in the lymph node classification of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck

The prognostic performance of the recently updated American Joint Committee on Cancer lymph node classification of cutaneous head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) has not been validated. The objective of this study was to assess the prognostic role of extranodal extension (ENE) in cutaneous HNSCC.
