“…Investigators have reported that although neoadjuvant therapy may eradicate lymph node metastases, it does not result in the same outcomes as those achieved in patients with N0 disease treated with surgery alone. The poor clinical outcomes observed in N0 patients after neoadjuvant therapy suggest that they initially had nodal involvement and were downstaged by eradication of lymph node disease 23.…”

“…Moreover, an increased use of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy significantly compromises prognostication of survival based on pathologic TNM staging. 16 Initial studies of the prognostic value of SUV max, , including both surgical and nonsurgical patients, were conflicting. Investigators from the Netherlands studied whether SUV can be used as a predictor of survival in 40 esophageal cancer patients including 19 who underwent esophagectomy.…”

“…The poor clinical outcomes observed in N0 patients after neoadjuvant therapy suggest that they initially had nodal involvement and were downstaged by eradication of lymph node disease. 13 Recently, having undergone combinedmodality treatments for advanced esophageal adenocarcinoma, recurrences have mainly been from hematogenous metastatic spread as seen in our patient. 12 It might be assumed that while he remained disease-free for quite a long time after the operation, the presence of metastatic disease in his lymph nodes at the time of surgery caused cutaneus metastasis by hematogenous/lymphangitic spread.…”
