Retrospective study reveals regional lymph node metastasis patterns in esophageal cancer, indicating that membrane anatomy theory explains dissemination pathways.

Key Points

To analyze the distribution and patterns of regional lymph node metastasis in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma within the conceptual framework of membrane anatomy theory.
Retrospective analysis of N=143 patients undergoing surgery for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma between March 2021 and March 2022 at a single cancer hospital in China.
Categorized and tracked positive nodes across thoracic and abdominal stations based on postoperative and clinical T staging, with detailed evaluation of clinical T3 patients (n=103).
Overall lymph node metastasis rate was 3.74% (204/5,456), with highest thoracic rates at stations 106recR (17.36%), 106recL (12.5%), and 107 (10.42%), and abdominal involvement highest at station 7 (13.19%).
Early dissemination occurred at station 106recR with an 18.37% metastasis rate in T1 tumors, alongside a continuous increase in metastatic involvement as T stage advanced.
In clinical T3 disease (n=103; 186/3,966 positive nodes, 4.69%), metastasis rates exceeded 5% across stations 106recL, 106recR, 107, 108, 110, 1, 2, 3a, and 7.
