Clinical Medicine of China 2013;(3):300-303
Objective To investigate the regularity of thoraco-abdominal two-field lymphatic metastasis and methods of the nodal dissection in middle-third thoracic esophageal carcinoma,and to guide the scope of the lymph-node clearance.Methods Thoraco-abdominal two-field lymph-node dissection based on surgical incisions of the right chest and middle upper abdomen were conducted in 62 cases with middle-third thoracic esophageal cancer and the regularity of nodal metastasis was analyzed.Results Five hundred and five pieces of lymph node were cleaned in all 62 patients and among them 102 pieces were detected as metastasis lymph node,the nodal metastasis ratio was 20.2% (102/505).The middle-third thoracic esophageal cancer not only includes the nodal metastases up to the trachea of the right neck,around the bilateral recurrent laryngeal nerve chains,near the esophagus and the tumor,and the lymph-node metastasis at the inferior tracheal protuberance,but also the nodal metastases down to the cardiac,around the left gastric artery and at the retina of the lesser curvature of the stomach etc,presenting a tendency of 2-way metastasis.The infiltration depth and differentiation of the tumor is of statistical significance on the nodal metastasis ratio.There was significant difference on the metastasis rate of lymph node from T1 to T4 (T1:10.0% (1/10),T2:20.0% (3/15),T3:43.3 % (13/30),T4:57.1% (4/7),x2 =18.56,P < 0.05).It indicated that metastasis rate was increased with the development of the infiltration depth.There was significant difference on the metastasis rate of high differentiation carcinoma,moderate differentiation carcinoma and low differentiation carcinoma (14.3% (2/14) vs 39.5% (15/38) vs 57.1%(4/7),x2 =17.75,P < 0.05).Conclusion The lymph node metastasis of patients with middle-third thoracic esophageal carcinoma is significantly correlated with the depth of tumor invasion and the degree of differentiation,with the tendency of thoraco-abdominal 2-field nodal metastasis.The peritracheal lymph node at right neck and bilateral recurrent laryngeal nerve chains are important regions of the metastasis.The surgical incision of the right thorax and upper abdomen greatly facilitates the excision of the middle-third thoracic esophageal cancer and the 2-field lymph node dissection Thus on this basis,the lymph node clearance around the right trachea and at bilateral recurrent laryngeal nerve chains through the right thoracic apex is safe and feasible.

Objective To compare the image quality, radiation dose and diagnostic accuracy on film-screen, digital radiography (DR) and computed radiography (CR) mammography. Methods Three different kinds of mammography machines (film-screen, DR and CR) were tested to make sure they were qualified and comparable. Radiographies were taken on Mammo-152 phantom and ACR phantom using filmscreen, DR and CR systems with the same radiation dose. Next, radiographies were taken on two phantoms using DR and CR systems with classic mode or AEC and the radiation dose was recorded. The images were numbered and scored by eight independent experienced radiologists under the same reading condition according to ACR method. Statistics was performed with the randomized complete-block design variance analysis. The diagnostic accuracy of three kinds of mammography methods were compared with Kappa test in clinical cases who had pathologic results. Results The spacial resolution of film-screen system was the highest (7.0-8.0 Lp/mm) and that of CR was the lowest (2.5 Lp/mm). When the radiation dose was increased (27. 0%-30. 0% ), the resolution was improved with DR ( +11. 0% ) but almost no change with CR ( +1.5%). The radiation dose of DR was the lowest on ACR phantom. The delineation of mass was better on film-screen than on CR, but the delineation of fibers and speck was better on CR. When the radiation dose of CR was increased (25. 0% ), the delineation of fibers and speck on CR was similar to that on DR and the delineation of mass was similar to that on film-screen. There was a good correlation between the mammography diagnosis and pathological results (film-screen is 50/56, DR is 83/90 and CR is 61/69,P < 0. 01 and Kappa value > 0. 75) . The diagnostic accuracy of three mammography systems had no statistical difference [film-screen 89. 3% (50/56), DR 92. 2% (83/90) and CR 88. 4% (61/69),Pearson X 2=0. 722 ,P =0. 697]. Conclusion Film/screen system has the highest space resolution and DR has the lowest radiation dose. Three mammography systems have the same diagnostic accuracy for breast disease.
