Angiolymphatic invasion (ALI) plays an important role in lymph node metastasis. The presence of an ALI predicts a high risk for lymph node metastasis and a poor prognosis in patients with lymph node negative esophageal carcinoma. The independent prognostic value of ALI in node-negative patients remains controversial. A meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the relationship between ALI and prognosis in cases of lymph node negative esophageal carcinoma.
