The goal of this study was to detemine whether adjuvant chemotherapy leads to a survival benefit in patients with positive LNs who have undergone induction chemoradiation therapy followed by esophagectomy. This is a retrospective study of 764 patients undergoing esophagectomy at a single institution from 2000-2013.

A French multicenter database was used to assess the relationship between severe anastomotic leak on outcomes after esophagectomy. Among 2439 pts, 8.5% developed a severe leak. This was associated with lower median overall survival (36 mos vs 55 mos) and disease-free survival (34 mos vs 48 mos), a 28% increased likelihood of death, and a significan
