Risk factors and prognostic implications of upper or middle mediastinal lymph nodes metastasis and recurrence in esophagogastric junction carcinoma
Nodal status and histological type, together with tumor epicenter, may help guide the indications for, and prognostic benefit from, UMMLN dissection in EGJC with an EIL of >2 cm to ≤4 cm. Nonetheless, the risk factors for UMMLN involvement remain to be completely elucidated, and further investigation is needed.
