Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
The investigators will examine data from consecutive patients at each site treated between 1/1/1999 and 12/31/2020. Patients must fulfil all these criteria:

i. Been treated for oral cavity, oropharyngeal, carcinoma of unknown primary, laryngeal, or hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma and be over the age of 18.

ii. The participants must have been treated with curative intent via surgery, radiotherapy, or chemoradiotherapy or a combination within the study inclusion period.

iii. The participants must have had CT or/and MRI scans of the neck, performed within 12 weeks before the start of treatment.

iv. Results for the presence or absence of extranodal extension on CT or/and MRI scans, or ability to report them within the deadline period.

v. For surgically-treated patients: Results for the presence or absence of both extranodal extension on histopathology and on radiology, or ability to report them within the deadline period.

vi. Must have had at least two years of follow-up, or death. vii. Data on staging must be available at least in TNM 7th edition or later editions.
