It is essential to know all of the intricate lymph pathways when
performing surgery for esophageal cancer in order to determine the
extent of lymph node metastasis. Professor Sato has undertaken, at
the request of the TNM Research Committee of the International
Society for Diseases of the Esophagus, to map out and classify the
lymph nodes of the mediastinum and neck. The beautiful artwork in
the Color Atlas of Surgical Anatomy for Esophageal Cancer edited by
Professor Sato gives an excellent understanding of the lymph node
pathways and their importance in surgical treatment. Minute
dissections which represent real life situations, not just the
superficial pathways, show the precise location and topographical
arrangement of the lymphatics. Full-color schematics are given with
the actual dissection illustrations and photographs. The atlas
clearly presents the classification of four significant pathways
and their communication, the relationship of these pathways en
route to the venous angles and the definition and assessment of the
most critical nodes. Thoracic surgeons especially will benefit from
the excellent illustrations of surgical techniques and the methods
for recording the dissected lymph nodes which are presented by
Professor Kakegawa. Leading experts fighting esophageal cancer with
surgical treatment can use the classification in this outstanding
atlas for many years to come as a standard for international
comparison. The careful dissection of the lymph nodes may be the
best way to improve survival rates after surgery for cancer of the
thoracic esophagus.
