Abstract:
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus surgery is recommended for clinical StageⅡ and Ⅲ esophageal cancer treatment by the JCOG9906. In contrast, definitive chemoradiotherapy(dCRT)is also a curative treatment. We encountered a case of recurrence in the cervical lymph nodes that was confirmed 6 years later, although thoracic esophageal cancer had completely disappeared following dCRT. Since there was no recurrence or metastasis in the primary lesion or other organs, we performed bilateral cervical lymph node dissection. There were 3 lymph node metastases among the dissected cervical lymph nodes pathologically. After the surgery, no relapses have occurred without the adjuvant chemotherapy.

Detailed Structure and Function of Lymph Nodes
From a histological perspective, lymph nodes can be split into two main areas: the superficial cortex and the deep medulla. The outer cortex is populated by dendritic cells, macrophages, and B lymphocytes, which are densely packed into follicles. When these B-lymphocytes are presented...
