When the groups were divided into those with low (‘−’ or ‘+’) or high (‘++’ or ‘+++’) levels of CCR7 staining, a statistically significant difference was apparent ( P =0.0175; Figure 4B ).

CCR7 immunostaining correlates with relapse-free survival Analysis of CCR7 immunostaining in the primary tumour with respect to subsequent disease relapse demonstrated a nonsignificant trend ( P =0.096; Figure 4A ).
DISCUSSION The development of cervical nodal metastases is a highly significant adverse prognostic feature in patients with SCCHN.
