Core Tip
Core Tip: In this study, we reviewed factors predicting lymph node metastasis in early esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and early esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). Imaging (size), serum microRNA-218, postoperative pathology and immunohistochemical analysis (depth, size, differentiation grade, lymphovascular invasion, neural invasion, PIM-1) were predictive for both ESCC and EAC. Serum markers (thymidine kinase 1; cytokeratin 19 fragment antigen 21-1; stathmin-1) and overexpression of cortactin, mixed-lineage leukaemia 2, and stanniocalcin-1 were predictive for ESCC. Transcription of CD69, myeloid differentiation protein 88 and toll-like receptor 4 and low expression of olfactomedin 4 were predictive for EAC. Six comprehensive models for ESCC were reviewed, and the areas under the curve reached 0.789-0.938.
