Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the significance of lymphatic vessel invasion (LVI) in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) using the D2-40 monoclonal antibody.
- Findings reveal that patients with LVI have a higher rate of lymph node metastasis (70%) compared to those without LVI (21%), and their median survival time is shorter (26 months vs. 43 months).
- However, while LVI indicates nodal metastasis, it isn't an independent predictor of overall survival, with other factors like lymphatic node metastasis and clinical stage being more significant.
