Abstract
Background: Esophageal surgery is an invasive surgical method with high surgical risk, and seriously affects postoperative quality of life. This study compared the prognosis of patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (Neo-CRT) plus surgery and Neo-CRT alone, in order to explore the necessity of continuing operation after Neo-CRT. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 223 patients who received Neo-CRT in Taizhou Hospital Affiliated to Wenzhou Medical University from June 2007 to December 2014. According to the treatment, the patients were divided into Neo-CRT plus surgery group (operation group, n=185) and single Neo-CRT group (non-operation group, n=38). Patients in both groups were followed up for a long time until death or deadline. The overall survival (OS), adverse reactions, recurrence and death results of the two groups were evaluated. The risk factors of poor prognosis were analyzed. Results: The two groups were comparable. The median follow-up time was 23.5 months in non-operation group and 112.9 months in operation group. The 1-year survival rate, 2-year survival rate and 5-year survival rate in non-operation group were 69.9%, 47.7% and 31.8%, respectively. The rates in operation group were 94.0%, 79.3% and 65.0%, respectively. The incidence of low hemoglobin was 73.7% (non-operation group) and 53.0% (operation group). The infection rates were 15.8% and 2.7%, respectively. There was no significant difference in the incidence of leukopenia, neutropenia and thrombocytopenia between the two groups. Multivariate analysis showed that recurrence and treatment were independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients. Conclusions: To sum up, no matter in terms of recurrence rate or OS rate, the prognosis of patients in the operation group was better than that in the non-operation group. Therefore, Neo-CRT combined with esophagectomy is recommended for locally advanced ESCC with acceptable surgical risk. 2022 Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology. All rights reserved.
