welcomes you to the new, improved website!The authors explored the relationship of nodal region and survival from adenocarcinoma of the esophagus/GEJ in patients undergoing induction therapy and transthoracic resection. Survival diminished related to nodal status/region: highest for no nodes, followed in order by: local/regional, truncal, upper thoracic, and combined truncal and upper thoracic. They suggest that nodal location should be considered in future staging systems.
