Abstract

Background/aim: Squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC) is widely used as a tumor marker for esophageal cancer. In this study, we investigated the relationship between SCC and long-term outcomes in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) followed by minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE).

Patients and methods: Between 2010 and 2018, 124 patients with ESCC who underwent MIE after NAC (cisplatin plus 5-fluorouracil) were included. Patients were divided into low and high groups based on their pre-NAC SCC level, according to the cut-off value determined using a receiver operating characteristic curve. These two patient groups were further divided into subgroups by receiver operating characteristics according to whether SCC was low or high after NAC.

Results: For overall survival (OS), the cut-off value for SCC pre-NAC was 0.9 ng/ml. Ninety-six patients were in the high SCC group (≥0.9 ng/ml) and 28 patients were in the low SCC group (<0.9 ng/ml) prior to NAC. The patients were then divided into pre-NAC/post-NAC SCC subgroups accordingly: low/low SCC (n=7), low/high SCC (n=21), high/low SCC (n=53), and high/high SCC (n=43). The 5-year OS rates were 100%, 66.7%, 50.9%, and 32.6%, respectively. In the multivariate analysis for OS, a high/high pre-NAC/post-NAC SCC status was an independent prognostic factor for poorer OS, along with pathological N stage.

Conclusion: For patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma treated with NAC followed by MIE, a high SCC level prior to NAC which was also high after NAC was an independent prognostic factor and might contribute to deciding the need for adjuvant therapy.

期刊介绍: ANTICANCER RESEARCH is an independent international peer-reviewed journal devoted to the rapid publication of high quality original articles and reviews on all aspects of experimental and clinical oncology. Prompt evaluation of all submitted articles in confidence and rapid publication within 1-2 months of acceptance are guaranteed. ANTICANCER RESEARCH was established in 1981 and is published monthly (bimonthly until the end of 2008). Each annual volume contains twelve issues and index. Each issue may be divided into three parts (A: Reviews, B: Experimental studies, and C: Clinical and Epidemiological studies). Special issues, presenting the proceedings of meetings or groups of papers on topics of significant progress, will also be included in each volume. There is no limitation to the number of pages per issue.
