Lymph Node Metastasis and Recurrences from Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma in Patients with Previous Gastrectomy

ConclusionsThe present study showed that the incidence of abdominal LN metastasis from ESCC after gastrectomy was not necessarily low, regardless of the tumor location and the reason for previous gastrectomy. This result suggests that gastrectomy should not be omitted easily in ESCC patients after previous gastrectomy.
