RESUMO
Extended lymph node dissection helps increase the radical resection rate,the accuracy of surgical-pathological staging,and the distant prognosis of thoracic esophageal carcinoma.However,it is also associated with significantly increased surgical morbidity and has noticeable negative effects on the quality of life after surgery.Selective lymph node dissection based on clinical evidences is helpful in reducing surgical risks while assuring the completeness of resection.
