Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics and prognosis of metastatic sites symptom as the first manifestation in esophageal carcinoma patients with stage T 1 and T 2, and to provide a reference for clinical practice. Methods:The clinical data of 50 esophageal carcinoma patients with stage T 1 and T 2 who had lymph node or distant metastasis as the first symptom in Anyang Tumor Hospital of Henan Province from November 2007 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Survival analysis was performed by using Kaplan-Meier method. Univariate analysis was performed by using log-rank test. Results:Among 50 patients with esophageal carcinoma, lymph node metastases as the first symptom were found in 42 cases and distant organ metastases as the first symptom were found in 8 cases. The 1-, 3-, 5-year overall survival rates of patients with stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ and stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ were 58.7%, 49.0%, 16.3% and 56.1%, 12.2%, 0, respectively, and there was no statistically significant difference in OS of both groups ( P = 0.094). The 1-, 3-, 5-year overall survival rates of patients with stage N 1 and stage N 2-N 3 were 63.5%, 34.7%, 17.3% and 52.2%, 11.9%, 0, respectively, and there was no statistically significant difference in OS of both groups ( P = 0.083). The 1-, 3-, 5-year overall survival rates were 64.6%, 30.5%, 18.3%, respectively in radiotherapy group and 38.2%, 0, 0, respectively in non-radiotherapy group, and there was a statistically significant difference in OS of both groups ( P = 0.008); the progression-free survival in radiotherapy group was better than that in non-radiotherapy group ( P = 0.028). The 1-, 3-, 5-year overall survival rates were 70.8%, 35.5%, 21.3% and 33.3%, 0, 0 and 35.4%, 0, 0, respectively in concurrent chemoradiotherapy group, radiotherapy group and chemotherapy group, and there was a statistically significant difference in overall survival among three groups ( P = 0.004). The results of univariate analysis showed that radiotherapy ( χ2 = 7.112, P = 0.008) and concurrent chemoradiotherapy ( χ2 = 10.940, P = 0.004) were the main factors affecting the prognosis. Conclusions:Lymph node and distant metastasis could occur in esophageal carcinoma patients with stage T 1 and T 2. Radiotherapy can prolong the progression-free survival time and concurrent chemoradiotherapy could benefit overall survival of these patients.

Zuckerkandl tubercle is the extension of thyriod gland. For the past few years, more and more surgeons and anatomists have become interested in it. Clinically, surgeons usually rely on specified anatomical landmarks to avoid injuries to the recurrent laryngeal nerve, including the laryngeal branches and the superior parathyroid in thyroid surgery, such as the bottom corner of the thyroid cartilage, the inferior thyroid artery, lower pole of thyroid, tracheoesophageal groove, suspensory ligament of thyroid gland and so on. As the specified landmarks, they have several common characteristics:on the one hand, their location should be constant; on the other hand, they should be easy to observe and touch, meanwhile convenient and practical.As a new anatomical landmark, Zuckerkandl tubercle is in accordance with the above characteristics and prevalent in the population. Therefore, Zuckerkandl tubercle could become an important landmark to identify the the recurrent laryngeal nerve, including the laryngeal branches and the superior parathyroid in thyroid surgery. This essay aims to briefly analyze the role of Zuckerkandl tubercle in thyroid surgery.
