Abstract:
Surgical resection is the main treatment for esophageal cancer. Lymph node dissection is an essential part of radical surgery for esophageal cancer. However, the extent of dissection, numbers of lymph nodes, and sentinel lymph nodes in lymphadenectomy are still under debate. However, a clinical practice consensus has gradually formed despite this dispute.

Lymph Node Exam
The lymphatic system has two main functions: to return extracellular fluid back to the venous circulation and to expose antigenic substances to the immune system. As the collected fluid passes through lymphatic channels on its way back to the systemic circulation, it encounters multiple nodes consisting of highly concentrated clusters of...
