TL;DRAbstract
The mean ADC values showed significant differences between nodal metastases of NPC and LSCC. Considering SCCs as a single group may affect the accuracy of ADC-based differentiation. Location of the primary tumor should be taken into account and cutoff values should be determined separately for each anatomical location.
