Mediastinal lymphadenectomy for esophageal cancer: Differences between two countries, Japan and the Netherlands

Abstract: Extent of mediastinal lymphadenectomy during esophagectomy is clearly different between two representative countries of the Eastern and Western world, such as Japan and the Netherlands. In Japan, a clear policy is the standard complete two‐ or three‐field type of lymphadenectomy whereas, in the Netherlands, a limited form is usually carried out. Reasons for these differences can be found in the different types of tumor, 80% of adenocarcinomas in the West and almost 95% of squamous cell cancer in Japan. Moreove… Show more

“…In recent years, preoperative therapy has been the standard treatment strategy for advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma with lymph node metastasis 8 . It has also been reported that the extent of mediastinal lymphadenectomy during esophagectomy in surgical treatment influences prognoses, 9 particularly RLN lymph node dissection, which must be performed with extreme care in esophageal cancer surgery. A nationwide Japanese registry showed that the frequency of nodal metastasis is the highest in the upper mediastinal nodal station in patients with upper (42.9%) and middle (37.4%) esophageal cancers 10 .…”

“…Esta última incluye las estaciones linfáticas cervicales y, además, tiene en cuenta la topografía, a diferencia de la anterior que para la estadificación se rige solo por el número de ganglios. 2 Estas diferencias en cuanto a la clasificación se traducen también en el tipo de cirugía a realizar, ya que en algunos centros asiáticos realizan cirugías por vía abierta con vaciamiento de tres campos y en Occidente mayoritariamente solo de dos campos, con cada vez más adeptos a un abordaje miniinvasivo. Por lo tanto, independientemente del tipo histológico y la prevalencia en Oriente y Occidente de uno u otro, surge la necesidad de una clasificación consensuada para disminuir las diferencias existentes en cuanto a la estrategia terapéutica y, fundamentalmente, para establecer qué tipo de LN es la más apropiada para cada caso en particular.…”

“…Se utilizó la clasificación de la International Society for Diseases of the Esophagus (ISDE) del año 1994 (actualizada en 2003) que la divide en: tipo I o estándar, que comprende hasta los ganglios subcarinales; tipo II o extendida, aquella que realiza el vaciamiento hasta el espacio paratraqueal derecho; tipo IIl, linfadenectomía mediastinal total de ambos espacios paratraqueales y de los nervios recurrenciales, y tipo IV, que es la linfadenectomía de tres campos: abdominal, mediastinal y cervical. 2,13 En la Figura 2 se señalan las diferencias en la extensión de la linfadenectomía mediastinal desde una posición en decúbito prono.…”

“…For example, a transthoracic approach has been reported to lead to a trend of favorable long-term outcomes [29] and taxane has been used in modern neoadjuvant trials with excellent results [23]. Besides, the importance of the anastomotic sites or the surgical fields was debated in the literatures [30]. However, these factors were not considered in our study due to the data not being available.…”
