Abstract

Lymphatic permeation is a good predictor of lymph node metastasis in patients with SSCCE. Lymph node metastasis and the histologic grade are independent prognostic factors. Vessel permeation, VTIDsm, and histologic grade were found to be important factors for identifying patients who did not require additional surgical treatment after EMR.
