Nodal metastatic size significantly predicts disease‐free survival on multivariate analysis, with the prognostic impact predominantly occurring in parotid metastases. Each 1 cm increase in the size of nodal metastasis increased the risk of recurrence or death by 27%. Parotid nodal metastasis size thresholds of <3, 3–4.5 and > 4.5 cm optimized prognostic discrimination.
