Abstract
Longer tumor length, higher pathologic T stage, lower histologic grade, and positive lymph node metastases of other groups are associated with a higher frequency of subcarinal node metastasis. Subcarinal node metastasis indicates worse prognosis of patients with thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma compared with paraesophageal node metastasis.
