The clinical relevance of regional lymph node microarchitecture in oesophageal cancer patients – Results from the UK MRC OE02 trial
DOI:10.1016/j.ejca.2026.116910.png)
Abstract
En 中文
• Neoadjuvant chemotherapy reduces LNneg germinal centre percentage area. • Lower histiocyte proportion in LNneg or LNpos linked to improved overal survival. • Histiocytes in LNneg and LNpos as a novel independent prognostic factor in OeC.
