Lymph Node Metastasis for <scp>pN</scp>+ Superficial Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
In superficial ESCC, LNM was frequently observed along the 106recR (35.8%) and 106recL (25.6%) stations. Advanced N-staging (N3) was a major negative impact factor in prognosis, and adequate lymph nodes dissected (LND) (N > 28) improved OS of pT1N+ ESCC. However, in superficial ESCC, tumor infiltration depth did not affect patients' OS or the distribution of positive LNs. The optimal adjuvant treatment that favors survival for these patients required further investigation.
