Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study measures how often esophageal cancer (specifically squamous cell carcinoma of the food pipe) spreads to a specific group of lymph nodes near the main airway (station 107). This knowledge helps surgeons decide which lymph nodes to remove during esophagus surgery. **You may be eligible if...** - You have been diagnosed with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma - Your cancer is staged as T1–T4a (any depth of growth) without distant spread (M0) - You have no history of other cancers **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your cancer is located in the neck portion of the esophagus - You are not healthy enough to undergo esophagectomy (removal of part of the esophagus) Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.
