Analyses on patterns of lymph node metastasis and its impact on prognosis in thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma treated with neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone: a single-center, retrospective cohort study

In comparison to nCT alone, nICT was significantly associated with deeper pathological response, lower LNM burden, and reduced postoperative recurrence in TESCC.
