摘要: 淋巴结是食管癌转移的最主要部位,淋巴结的转移状况是判断食管癌患者预后的重要因素。食管癌早期即可出现淋巴结的转移,其转移具有就近转移和特定区域高发的较固定规律,也具有广泛转移和跳跃性转移的特点。因此研究食管癌淋巴结的转移规律能够帮助确定食管癌患者手术淋巴结清扫的范围和食管癌的放疗照射靶区。

Abstract: Lymph nodes (LN)are the main parts of the esophageal cancer metastasis, and the current status of LN is the important indicator of prognosis. LN metastasis appears in early stage of esophageal cancer. One side, LN metastasis easily appears in the regions near the tumor and some special areas. On the other side, LN metastasis has the characteristics of wide metastasis and skip metastasis. Therefore, the researches of the pattern of esophageal cancer lymph node metastasis can help to comform the scope of the esophageal cancer lymph node dissection and the target regions of radiotherapy.
