Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to compare the difference in perioperative outcomes and prognosis between neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy and neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
Methods: The patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma receiving neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy or neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy were identified from a prospectively maintained database at Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University between January 2018 and March 2022. Propensity score matching was performed to balance the 2 groups.
Results: A total of 124 patient pairs were enrolled in the final analysis. The complete pathological response rate (20.2% vs 29.0%, P = .140) was similar in the 2 groups, whereas the lower major pathological response rate (44.4% vs 61.3%, P = .011) was observed in the neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy group. Neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy was associated with a lower rate of adverse events (42.7% vs 55.6%, P = .047) without additional postoperative complications (38.7% vs 35.5%, P = .693). The neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy group had lower distant metastasis (6.5% vs 16.1%, P = .027) and overall recurrence (11.3% vs 23.4%, P = .019) in the postoperative 1 year. Also, neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy was associated with better progression-free survival (hazard ratio, 0.50; 95% CI, 0.32-0.77; P = .002). Cox proportional hazard analysis showed that neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy (univariable: hazard ratio, 0.55; 95% CI, 0.37-0.82; P = .003; multivariable: hazard ratio, 0.44; 95% CI, 0.29-0.65; P < .001) was one of the independent prognostic factors for progression-free survival. The 2 groups had similar overall survival (hazard ratio, 0.62; 95% CI, 0.36-1.09; P = .094) at the latest follow-up.
Conclusions: This retrospective study showed that neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy was safe and effective for patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Further verification is needed in randomized controlled trials.
研究目的本研究旨在比较新辅助免疫化疗(nICT)和新辅助化放疗(nCRT)治疗局部晚期食管鳞癌(LA-ESCC)围手术期疗效和预后的差异:从2018年1月至2022年3月期间复旦大学附属中山医院的前瞻性数据库中识别出接受nICT或nCRT治疗的LA-ESCC患者。进行倾向评分匹配(PSM)以平衡两组患者:共有124对患者纳入最终分析。两组的完全病理反应率(20.2% vs. 29.0%,p=0.140)相似,而nICT组的主要病理反应率较低(44.4% vs. 61.3%,p=0.011)。nICT组的不良事件发生率较低(42.7% vs. 55.6%,p=0.047),且无额外的术后并发症(38.7% vs. 35.5%,p=0.693)。nICT 组术后 1 年的远处转移率(6.5% 对 16.1%,P=0.027)和总复发率(11.3% 对 23.4%,P=0.019)较低。此外,nICT 与更好的无进展生存期相关(HR=0.50;95% CI:0.32-0.77;P=0.002)。Cox比例危险分析显示,nICT(单变量:HR=0.55;95% CI:0.37-0.82;p=0.003;多变量:HR=0.44;95% CI:0.29-0.65;p结论:这项回顾性研究表明,nICT对LA-ESCC患者安全有效。需要在随机对照试验中进一步验证。
