| Abstract | Background To assess the benefit of postoperative radiotherapy in patients with pT1-2N1M0 oral and oropharyngeal cancer by the quality of neck dissection. Methods In the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database, pT1-2N1M0 oral and oropharyngeal cancer patients treated by primary tumor resection and neck dissection with or without radiotherapy were included between 2004 and 2015. Univariate and multivariate analysis were used to explore the effect of adjuvant radiotherapy on 5-year overall survival (OS) and disease-specific survival (DSS) among different quality of neck dissection. Results Of the 1765 patients identified, 1108 (62.8%) had oral cancer, 1141 (64.6%) were men, and 1067 (60.5%) underwent adjuvant radiotherapy. After adjusting for confounding factors, postoperative radiotherapy reduced the adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) of 5-year OS to 0.64 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.49–0.84) in those with < 18 lymph nodes (LNs) removed, but not in those with 19–24 LNs removed (aHR 0.78; 95% CI 0.73–1.13), and in those with ≥ 25 LNs removed (aHR 0.96; 95% CI 0.75–1.24). For 5-year DSS, similar effect was observed. The adjusted hazard ratio was 0.66 (95% confidence interval, 0.45–0.97) in those with < 18 LNs. The protective effect was not seen in those with 18–24 LNs (aHR 1.07; 95% CI 0.59–1.96), and in those with ≥ 25 LNs (aHR 1.12; 95% CI 0.81–1.56). Sensitivity testing also showed a robust protective effect of postoperative radiotherapy in patients with < 18 LNs removed. Conclusion Radiotherapy was associated with improved survival in pT1-2N1M0 oral and oropharyngeal cancer patients without adequate neck dissection. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
