Core Tip

Core Tip: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) has a relatively high incidence globally, imposing a significant societal burden. This study conducted a survival analysis on 115 patients with T3N0M0 stage ESCC and found that high body mass index, tumor location, positive perineural invasion and smoking were associated with the prognosis of ESCC patients. In the future, prospective multi-center hospital studies need to be carried out to confirm the risk factors affecting prognosis, with a view to providing individualized and standardized treatment measures after surgery.
