Recurrence factors were analyzed with Chi-square or Fisher's exact test and multivariate analysis.
Since all patients in our present study had developed IMLN recurrence, factors that could influence the DFI of IMLN recurrence instead of risk factors for IMLN recurrence were evaluated.
In this study, we collected clinicopathologic and follow-up data of patients with OSCC and analyzed recurrence factors and patient survival.
Because of the high rate of medication discontinuation by patients and the risk of recurrence, factors such as nutrition could be useful for the prevention or treatment of depression.

Since S-1 therapy increased OS and decreased recurrence, these factors would reduce indirect costs and decrease its ICER.
For this reason, when treating the breast cancer, the determination of the recurrence risk factors should directly influence the surgical interference volume choosing process.
We also confirmed our previous results, that is, that HPV positivity, tumor size, and recurrence are factors correlated with overall survival of HNSCC patients [ 9].
