Spatial nodal pattern refines disease-free survival stratification beyond pathological N stage in resected esophageal squamous cell carcinoma

Abstract Background Lymph node metastasis is a major determinant of recurrence in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), but conventional pathological N staging is based mainly on positive-node counts and may not capture the anatomical heterogeneity of nodal spread. We developed and evaluated a...
