Analytical cohort study on lymph node dissection extent and survival outcomes among esophageal cancer patients

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The relationship between lymphadenectomy extent and survival among 138 esophageal cancer patients undergoing curative esophagectomy is of interest. Patients were grouped based on lymph node dissection: limited (<15 nodes), standard (15-29), and extended (≥30). Five-year survival improved with increasing nodal yield, especially in node-negative and early-stage patients. Multivariate analysis confirmed extended dissection as an independent predictor of better survival. These findings support a more extensive lymphadenectomy approach to optimize long-term oncologic outcomes.
