متن کاملImpact of the number of resected lymph nodes on postoperative survival of patients with node-negative oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
OBJECTIVES Research on the number of resected lymph nodes (LNs) in the cases of node-negative oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is inadequate. This study was designed to analyse the prognostic impact of the number of resected LNs on node-negative ESCC. METHODS Node-negative ESCC patients (n = 666) who underwent oesophagectomy between January 1990 and December 2005 were classified int...
