Characteristics and clinical significance of lymph node metastases near the recurrent laryngeal nerve from thoracic esophageal carcinoma.
[esophageal carcinoma]
This
study
aimed
to
evaluate
the
characteristics
of
lymph
node
(
LN
)
metastases
from
thoracic
esophageal
carcinoma
near
the
recurrent
laryngeal
nerve
and
the
influence
of
these
metastases
on
patient
prognosis
and
to
determine
the
reasonable
regional
LN
dissection
range
.
The
clinical
data
from
120
patients
who
underwent
resection
for
thoracic
esophageal
carcinoma
were
analyzed
retrospectively
.
LN
metastases
near
the
recurrent
laryngeal
nerve
were
detected
in

2

of
the
cases

were

were
factors
that
significantly
influenced
LN
metastasis
near
the
recurrent
laryngeal
nerve
LN
metastases
near
the
recurrent
laryngeal
nerve
were
associated
with
cervical
LN
metastasis
.
The
3
-
year
survival
rate
of
patients
with
LN
metastasis
near
the
recurrent
laryngeal
nerve
was
much
lower
than
that
of
patients
with
other
LN
metastases
(

vs

)
.
In
thoracic
esophageal
carcinoma
cases
,
LNs
near
the
recurrent
laryngeal
nerve
should
be
resected
.
This
could
improve
the
patient
prognosis
and
reduce
the
incidence
of
postoperative
local
recurrence
.
