Background: Preoperative clinical diagnosis of lymph node (LN) metastasis and subsequent pathological diagnosis are often not in agreement. Detection of false-negative LNs is essential in selecting an optimal treatment strategy, and most importantly, the presence of false-negative LN is itself a significant prognostic indicator. Therefore, at present, there is an urgent need to establish more accurate and individualized evaluation methods for LN metastasis. Methods: Of 213 cN0 patients who underwent curative esophagectomy without preoperative neoadjuvant treatment, 60 (28%) had LN metastasis diagnosed pathologically. There were 129 false-negative LNs, of which 85 were detectable by preoperative computed tomography (CT). We retrospectively investigated the distribution, frequency, and characteristics of pathologically positive nodes in patients with clinically N0 esophageal cancer. Results: The paracardial region was the most frequent region of false-negative LNs, accounting for 26% (22 LNs) of the total incidence. False-negative LNs distributed widely from the neck to the abdomen in patients with a primary tumor in the middle thoracic esophagus. In patients with a primary tumor in the lower thoracic esophagus, four falsenegative LNs were detected in the superior mediastinum. When the short-axis diameter, shape, and attenuation patterns of the LNs were used as criteria for metastasis diagnosis, they were insufficient for an accurate diagnosis. However, false-negative LNs in the most frequently occurring sites are characterized by smaller short-axis, suggesting that accurate diagnosis cannot be made unless the diagnostic criteria for the short-axis are reduced in addition to shape and attenuation. Conclusions: Although restrictive to the most frequent regions of false-negative LNs occur, reducing size criterion and consideration of their shape and attenuation may contribute to improved diagnosis. |
