“…The two major distinct histological types of EC are squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and adenocarcinoma (AC). There are marked differences between their pathological patterns in terms of incidence, natural history, and therapeutic scheme (1)(2)(3). More than one-half of the new cases in the United States and Western Europe were diagnosed as AC, while the predominate type in East Asian countries, such as China, was SCC (1,2).…”

“…More than one-half of the new cases in the United States and Western Europe were diagnosed as AC, while the predominate type in East Asian countries, such as China, was SCC (1,2). EC generally presents as locally advanced disease and requires multidisciplinary treatment (3,4). Prominent progress has been made in early detection techniques, surgical procedures, and perioperative adjuvant therapies (4,5).…”

“…There is reason to suspect the traditional open surgery is bene cial to perform the systematic lymphadenectomy under direct vision, while the operation eld observed by the monitor in MIE was lacking in partial depth perception due to its two dimensions. Although the number of lymph node harvested was fewer in MIE than open surgery in our study, the lymph node yield was in excess of the recommended threshold of 11-15 nodes required for accurate staging [21]. It is well established that dissected lymph node comprehensively provides useful prognostic information after surgery.…”

“…According to the NCCN guidelines for the treatment of esophageal and esophagogastric junction cancers, at least 15 nodes should be removed in radical resection for esophageal cancer. 22 Complete resection of the esophagus and regional LNs is essential to improve long-term survival. 23 To avoid inaccurate LN dissection, which may result in inappropriate pathologic nodal staging and treatment, a phenomenon called stage migration, 24 our study only included patients who had more than 15 LNs removed.…”
