Based on clinicopathological data from TG patients, the metastatic rates and the therapeutic value (TV) indexes of DPLN, along with risk factors for DPLN metastasis, were assessed. Additionally, the 5-year overall survival (OS) rates were compared between TG and PG patients.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The metastatic rates of No.3b, 4d, 5, 6, 12a LN stations and DPLN were 31.7%, 9.6%, 12.6%, 4.0%, 3.1% and 36.4%, whereas the 5-year TV indexes of them were 10.3, 0.0, 1.5, 0.0, 0.0 and 9.7, respectively. Tumor size (&amp;gt;4\u2005cm), pT stage (pT4) and pN stage (pN3) were significant risk factors for patients with DPLN metastasis. For patients with tumor size larger than 4\u2005cm, pT4 stage or pN3 stage, TG was associated with a better prognosis than PG, with the 5-year OS rates of 33.5% and 16.8%, respectively (\u03c7<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\u2009=\u20094.299, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.038).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>DPLN metastasis is a poor prognostic factor for patients with Siewert type II AEG.
