However, its association with surgical outcome in pyriform sinus carcinoma remains unclear.

Then, 5-year overall survival, 5-year disease-specific survival, 5-year disease-free survival, and 5-year regional recurrence-free survival were utilized to assess the prognostic significance of lymph node density.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>With a median follow-up period of 31.8 months, 5-year overall survival, disease-specific survival, disease-free survival, and regional recurrence-free survival were 37.9%, 46.0%, 41.4%, and 54.0%, respectively. Univariate analysis revealed that lymph node density \u2265 0.093 was a significant predictor of poor 5-year overall survival ( P = .005), disease-specific survival ( P = .008), disease-free survival ( P = .0013), and regional recurrence-free survival ( P = .003). Furthermore, multivariate analysis demonstrated that lymph node density was negatively associated with adverse 5-year overall survival (hazard ratio = 1.62, 95% CI: 1.15-2.29, P = .006), disease-specific survival (hazard ratio = 1.86, 95% CI: 1.24-2.80, P = .003), disease-free survival (hazard ratio = 0.45, 95% CI: 0.24-0.85, P = .014), and regional recurrence-free survival (hazard
