Radiotherapy and oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology
CONCLUSION: This study confirms that rENE is prognostically important and facilitates understanding of known outcome heterogeneity within TNM-8 in HPV+ OPC patients. rENE is a promising parameter to refine the TNM-8 cN-classifications.
