The CTCs-positive rate of HNSCC patients was 58.9% (56\/95) by using the cut-point of 3. Both the chi-square test and binary logistic regression analysis showed that the N stage and clinical stage were significantly associated with CTCs-positive in patients with HNSCC ( p &lt; 0.05). Further Non-parametric test analysis indicated that more CTCs counts were detected in late N and clinical stages patients ( p &lt; 0.001). The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis indicated that CTCs-positive were correlated with shorter progression-free survival (PFS) ( p &lt; 0.001) and overall survival (OS) ( p = 0.001). Further, the CTCs-positive was an independent prognostic factor for PFS and OS according to the Cox multivariate regression analysis ( p &lt; 0.05).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>More CTCs were associated with N stage, clinical stage, poor prognosis in patients with HNSCC, which might be used as a prognostic biomarker.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/1533033821990037","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,28]],"date-time":"2021-02-28T11:19:31Z","timestamp":1614511171000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Circulating Tumor Cells Correlate With Prognosis in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Shichao","family":"Zhou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oncology, Shanghai Ninth People\u2019s Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Shanghai, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lili","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oncology, Shanghai Ninth People\u2019s Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Shanghai, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wenying","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oncology, Shanghai Ninth People\u2019s Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Shanghai, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Feng","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oncology, Shanghai Ninth People\u2019s Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Shanghai, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yanjie","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oncology, Shanghai Ninth People\u2019s Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Shanghai, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bin","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oncology, Shanghai Ninth People\u2019s Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Shanghai, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"JiongYi","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oncology, Shanghai Ninth People\u2019s Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Shanghai, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2789-2833","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Haihua","family":"Yuan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oncology, Shanghai Ninth People\u2019s Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Shanghai, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1533033821990037","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.mayocp.2015.12.017"},{"key":"bibr2-1533033821990037","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3322\/caac.21338"},{"key":"bibr3-1533033821990037","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2273.1994.tb01150.x"},{"key":"bibr4-1533033821990037","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00464-001-9055-0"},{"key":"bibr5-1533033821990037","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s12276-018-0150-x"},{"key":"bibr6-1533033821990037","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00384-014-1843-9"},{"key":"bibr7-1533033821990037","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.18632\/oncotarget.8156"},{"key":"bibr8-1533033821990037","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/aja.aja_1_18"},{"key":"bibr9-1533033821990037","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/14737159.2018.1522251"},{"key":"bibr10-1533033821990037","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000491898"},{"key":"bibr11-1533033821990037","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-1-4939-7401-6_18"},{"key":"bibr12-1533033821990037","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s12032-014-0240-0"},{"key":"bibr13-1533033821990037","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3322\/caac.21254"},{"key":"bibr14-1533033821990037","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ijc.29108"},{"key":"bibr15-1533033821990037","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cell.2017.03.017"},{"key":"bibr16-1533033821990037","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Han D, Chen K, Che J, Hang J.
