| Abstract |
The cervical lymph node metastasis (CM) is one of the most important prognostic factors for oral squamous cell carcinoma. Although the frequency and distribution of CM for tongue carcinoma (TC) are well documented in the literature, there is only little data on metastasis patterns depending on the location of the cancer within the tongue. In a retrospective study all patients with a T1-T2 TC who were treated between 1997 and 2013 were analysed regarding epidemiological data, risk factors, and tumour parameters such as exact localization, CM. 204 patients (59 ± 15 years; ♀37 %, ♂63 %) were included. At the initial diagnosis 23 % had an advanced tumour stage (III-IV) due to CM. The occurrence of CM was significantly higher for T2, advanced G-status and the localization in the posterior area of the tongue. The presence of CM-but not the recurrence-had a significant influence on the survival rate. The small TC has an aggressive metastatic behaviour depending not only on the classical prognostic factors such as grading and tumour size, but is also strongly influenced by the posterior location within the tongue. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 20 July 2017.
All research outputs
#18,562,247
of 22,990,068 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery
#158
of 259 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#267,876
of 352,225 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery
#6
of 7 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,990,068 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 259 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.3. This one is in the 25th percentile – i.e., 25% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 352,225 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 13th percentile – i.e., 13% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 7 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
