## Background: Recent studies on the role of bcl-2 in malignant tumors have suggested its prognostic significance. the goals of the current study were to determine any correlation between bcl-2 expression in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and histopathology, lymph node metastasis, and clinical
## Abstract ## Background and Objectives We retrospectively compared surgical outcomes between patients with intraβthoracic and extraβthoracic (cervical and abdominal) lymphβnode metastasis. ## Methods The study population comprised 96 patients with lymphβnode metastasis who had undergone curati
## Abstract In patients with early head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), occult lymph node metastasis is difficult to predict by clinical or pathological parameters. However, such parameters are necessary to select patients either for elective neck dissection or the sentinel lymph node (SL
