Association between MI and the selected clinical parameters. The mean MI for the various groups was compared using Student’s t test. Association between MI and selected epidemiologic and clinical characteristics: a hypopharyngeal cancer: no differences were noted with regard to any of the clinical characteristics; b laryngeal cancer: statistically significant differences were found for the associations between MI and tumor size; c oropharyngeal cancer: no differences were noted with regard to any of the clinical characteristics; and d oral cavity cancer: statistically significant differences were found for the associations between MI and recurrence events (positive versus negative). Mean and standard deviation are also indicated, and statistical comparisons between groups are depicted. A probability of < 0.05 (*P < 0.05) was considered to represent a statistically significant difference
