abstract = {Background: Endoscopic therapies for T1 esophageal carcinoma have been increasingly used around the world. However, the procedures are limited by without lymph nodes harvested. The risk of lymph node metastasis (LNM) should been established. Our objective was to construct a nomogram model for predict risks of LNM in patients with pT1 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).
Methods: We reviewed the records of 221 patients with pT1 ESCC who underwent surgical resection and radical lymphadenectomy. Clinicopathological variables were analyzed univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis. A nomogram for predicting risk of LNM was constructed and validated using bootstrap resampling.
Results: Of the 221 patients, 53 patients had been examined as LNM. Following multivariate analysis, poor differentiation (P=0.0006), lymphovascular invasion (P},
