Although surgery is relatively successful in eradicating local tumor, post-resection five-year survival rate for esophageal cancer is still lower than 30%. Multiple factors are found to influence the long-term results after surgical treatment. However, recent investigations have focused on the significance of lymph node matastasis (LNM), which seems to be one of the most important factors leading to poor survival. Hence, the prognostic significance of LNM in surgical resection of esophageal cancer was studied.
