Retrospective analysis shows extended lymphadenectomy improves survival in EAC with CPR, highlighting stage-dependent benefits.

Extended lymphadenectomy significantly improves survival in patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma and complete pathologic response.
Multivariable analysis revealed hazard ratios of 0.847 and 0.768 for 10-20 and >20 nodes harvested, respectively.
Survival was better with 10-20 nodes harvested (median 91.70 months) compared to <10 nodes (59.70 months, P=0.03).
Stage III patients benefited most, while no improvement was observed in cSTAGE I and II with additional nodal harvest.

Campany et al. (2025) studied this question.
