Analysis of lymph node recurrence patterns and risk factors in locally advanced esophageal carcinoma following neoadjuvant therapy
The tracheoesophageal groove and supraclavicular lymph nodes represent common recurrence sites in neoadjuvant therapy and upper thoracic EC. Lower thoracic and gastroesophageal junction EC require vigilance for the risk of supraclavicular nodal metastasis. Lymph node yield and T/N stages correlate with recurrence risk.
