Locoregional recurrence · Adults with oral cavity cancer (tongue or floor of mouth) and clinically negative neck nodes
Elective neck dissection (at time of primary tumour resection) probably leads to lower locoregional recurrence compared with therapeutic (delayed) neck dissection (moderate certainty).
