| Core Tip |
This letter raises concerns about a study investigating lipid metabolism and lymph node metastasis in esophageal cancer, focusing on three key issues: Insufficient data on lipid parameters [especially low-density lipoprotein (LDL) distribution] in the patient cohort, unclear rationale for selecting LDL-related genes and excluding other lipid metabolism pathways in gene screening, and a lack of direct evidence supporting the proposed LDL-B lymphocyte regulatory axis. It emphasizes the complexity of lipid-immune crosstalk in tumors and suggests future studies address these points to strengthen conclusions on lipid-immune regulation in esophageal cancer. |
