Metastatic patterns of subcarinal, right and left recurrent laryngeal nerve lymph nodes in thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma without neoadjuvant therapy.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This research aimed to clarify the metastatic patterns of subcarinal, right and left recurrent laryngeal nerve lymph nodes in thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and to investigate appropriate strategies for lymph node dissection.

Methods

Patients with thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma receiving esophagectomy from December 2020 to April 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. Risk factors for subcarinal, right and left recurrent laryngeal nerve lymph nodes metastasis were determined by chi-square test and multivariate logistic regression analysis. We visualized the metastasis rates of these specific lymph nodes based on the different clinicopathological characteristics. Correlation between subcarinal, right and left recurrent laryngeal lymph nodes metas
