Threshold size criterion to suspect malignant supraclavicular lymph node < 10 mm in esophageal cancer
Supraclavicular lymph nodes < 10 mm in esophageal carcinoma are indeterminate for malignancy. Supraclavicular lymph nodes > 6 mm are highly suspicious for malignancy. The metastasis status of supraclavicular lymph nodes is critical for staging esophageal carcinoma.
