Core Tip In carcinoma lung and stomach, presence of micrometastasis or spread of tumor cell after surgery has shown to predict recurrence and poor prognosis. Hence, a routine intraoperative pleural and peritoneal lavage is advocated. Similarly, spread of tumor cell esophagectomy or presence of occult micrometastatic disease in esophageal carcinoma may have detrimental effects leading to recurrence and poor prognosis. The role of routine pleural lavage to detect micrometastasis and tumor spillage is not well established in carcinoma esophagus. It is important to identify such high-risk patients to formulate strategies to prevent tumor spillage and plan management.
