Fig 1 (A) Although no difference in overall survival (OS) was detected in patients who had ≥15 lymph nodes examined when undergoing upfront esophagectomy, a significant difference was seen for (B) patients who received induction therapy at this threshold.

Fig 2 Kaplan-Meier curve comparing patients undergoing upfront esophagectomy who had less than or greater than 25 lymph nodes sampled demonstrates a significant difference in survival.
