Researchers constructed and validated a risk-scoring model to predict lymph node metastasis in T1b-T2 esophageal cancer. Multivariate analysis identified primary site, tumor grade, tumor size, depth, and lymphovascular invasion as independent risk factors for lymph node metastasis. The risk-scoring model, based on these factors, showed good predictive accuracy in both the primary cohort and the validation cohort. This model can guide the selection of optimal treatment options for patients with T1b-T2 esophageal cancer.
