| Abstract: | BackgroundStudies have shown that along with primary tumor response, lymph node status after RTx/CTx is one of the most important prognostic factors for advanced esophageal carcinoma. The goal of our study was to investigate the influence of neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy (RTx/CTx) on lymph nodes (LN). |
