Abstract
Statistically relevant positive linear relations among lymph node density, depth of invasion, perineural invasion, and extracapsular spread were identified. Lymph node density could have prognostic implications, because it is statistically correlated with other known prognostic features that lead to poor outcomes. Lymph node density could be an important feature to capture in future prospective trials. Pathology standards would be crucial in this endeavor.
