In univariate analysis, the presence of maENE had an impact on disease specific survival (DSS) (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> =\u2009.023); increasing number of positive LNs affected DSS and locoregional control (LRC) (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> =\u2009.009 and =.006, respectively); increasing metastatic node dimension was a risk factors for overall survival, DSS, and metastases free survival (MFS) (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> =\u2009.05, =.013 and =.016). In multivariate analysis, number of positive LNs and LN dimension were independent risk factors for LRC and MFS, respectively (HR 1.1, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> =\u2009.028; HR 1.1,
