The purpose of this study was to investigate micrometastasis (MM) and tumor cell microinvolvement (TCM) in the regional lymph nodes of patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). ## METHODS. MM was defined as individual tumor cells or tumor cell clusters Ο½0.5 mm in greatest dimension
Background and Objectives: It is important to identify the initial lymph node metastasis when performing less invasive surgery. The purpose of the present study was to analyze locations of solitary lymph node metastasis and micrometastasis in esophageal carcinoma. Methods: We retrospectively analyze
## Abstract ## Background It was the aim of our study to establish a model for prediction of lymph node metastases in superficial esophageal cancer. ## Methods We analyzed the clinical and histopathological data of 50 consecutive patients with pT1βesophageal cancer who underwent oncological rese
## 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
