The presence of malignant lymph nodes in the surgical specimen (+ypNodes) after preoperative chemoradiation (trimodality) in patients with esophageal cancer (EC) portends a poor prognosis for overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). There is not one clinical parameter that is correlated with +ypNodes. We hypothesized that a combination of clinical parameters might provide a model that would associate with the high likelihood of +ypNodes in trimodality EC patients. We report on 293 consecutive EC patients who received trimodality therapy. A multivariate logistic regression analysis that included pretreatment and post-chmoradiation parameters was performed to identify independent variables that were used to construct a nomogram for +ypNodes in trimodality EC patients. Of 293 patients, 91 (31.1%) had +ypNodes. In multivariable analysis, the significant factors associated with +ypNodes were: baseline T stage (odds ratio [OR], 7.145; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.381-36.969; p=0.019), baseline N stage (OR, 2.246; 95% CI, 1.024-4.926; p=0.044), tumor length (OR, 1.178; 95% CI, 1.024-1.357; p=0.022), induction chemotherapy (OR, 0.471; 95% CI, 0.242-0.915; p=0.026), lymph metastasis by post-chemoradiation PET (OR, 2.923; 95% CI, 1.007-8.485; p=0.049) and enlarged lymph node metastasis by post-chemoradiation CT (OR, 3.465; 95% CI, 1.549-7.753; p=0.002). The nomogram after internal validation using the bootstrap method yielded a high concordance index of 0.756 (95% CI, xx-xx). Our results suggest that the constructed nomogram highly correlates with the presence of +ypNodes and upon validation; it could prove useful in individualizing therapy for trimodality patients with EC.
