Core Tip	Three-field lymphadenectomy is currently a focus in esophageal surgery. According to the patterns of lymph node metastasis, understanding of the lymph node status in middle and lower recurrent laryngeal nerve region may predict the status of cervical lymph node. In patients received thoracic and abdominal lymphadenectomy, if lymph node metastasis of recurrent laryngeal nerve is indicated, it will be especially important to treat cervical lymph node subsequently. Additional cervical lymphadenectomy is always performed clinically in that occasion. In this article, we discuss whether cervical surgical procedures can be replaced by radiotherapy.
