Lymph node retrieval during esophagectomy with and without neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy: prognostic and therapeutic impact on survival.

TL;DR: The number of resected nodes had a prognostic impact on survival in patients after surgery alone, but its therapeutic value is still controversial, and data question the indication for maximization of lymphadenectomy after nCRT.
Journal ArticleDOI

The 30-day versus in-hospital and 90-day mortality after esophagectomy as indicators for quality of care

TL;DR: A period of postoperative follow-up longer than 30 days needs to be considered when comparing surgical performance between institutes, and the case-mix adjustment model for 90DM had a sensitivity for detecting surgery-related deaths and a specificity of 100%.
Journal ArticleDOI

Retrospective evaluation of national MRI reporting quality for lateral lymph nodes in rectal cancer patients and concordance with prospective re-evaluation following additional training

T C Sluckin, +251 more
TL;DR: In this article , the presence and size of lateral lymph nodes (LLNs) are important factors influencing treatment decisions for rectal cancer, and awareness of the clinical relevance and describing LLNs in MRI reports is therefore essential.
Book ChapterDOI

Goals of Surgical Therapy for Esophageal Cancer

TL;DR: This chapter describes the surgeon’s main goals when performing a potentially curative esophagectomy for esophageal cancer, regardless of the surgical approach that is chosen.
