Clinical Analysis of Lymph Node Metastasis in Cervical Esophageal Cancer

Abstract Background Cervical esophageal cancer were rarely surgeryed Analysis and discussion of lymph node metastasis of cervical esophageal cancer Methods From July 2008 to June 2017, 10 cases of successful esophagectomy of cervical esophageal cance in our hospital underwent radical resection. Surgical dissection range was the neck and the upper mediastinum. A total of 231 lymph nodes were dissected. The lymph nodes were summarized and grouped in different ways, and analyzed the law of lymph node metastasis. Results 7 cases of esophageal cancer, lymph node metastasis occurred, and the rate of lymph node metastasis was 70% (7/10), of which 1 case was T1b stage. 17 lymph node metastases, the degree of lymph node metastasis was 7.36% (17/231), including 4 esophageal lymph nodes, 12 cervical lymph nodes and 1 upper right mediastinal lymph node. Conclusion Cervical esophageal cancer lymph node metastasis can spread occur early metastasis, and the metastasis site were mainly in neck..

Pediatric Thyroid Cancer

Objective: The incidence of pediatric thyroid cancer is relatively low compared to the disease in adults. This study aims to present the data in our institution on pediatric thyroid cancer patients, with particular emphasis on the risk factors of recurrence together with treatment outcomes. Subjects and Methods: Between January 2000 and July 2018, patients <20 years who were diagnosed with thyroid carcinoma and primarily treated with surgery at a major large-volume tertiary medical center specializing in thyroid cancer were enrolled. A total of 83 patients were eligible for this study. Results: The majority of the studied patients were girls and adolescents (age ≥13 years). Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) was the most common pathology (n = 74). PTC tumors >1 cm showed higher rate of lymph node metastasis and extrathyroidal extension than tumors ≤1 cm. All patients survived with nine PTC patients who displayed treatment failure. Age, tumor size, multifocality, lateral lymph node metastasis, and postoperative thyroglobulin levels were significant prognosticators for disease recurrence. Conclusion: Pediatric thyroid cancer is relatively rare and should be considered a specific disease entity with respect to the thyroid cancer in adults, since there are several distinctive characteristics.
