Abstract
Purpose: To compare survival outcomes between endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) followed by chemoradiotherapy versus radiotherapy in stage T1bN0M0 esophageal cancer.
Materials and methods: Patients with stage T1bN0M0 esophageal cancer between 2000 and 2021 were identified from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. Cancer-specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS) were compared between the ESD followed by chemoradiotherapy versus radiotherapy cohorts.
Results: Among 71 eligible patients, 57 (80.3%) received ESD followed by chemoradiotherapy and 14 (19.7%) underwent ESD followed by radiotherapy. Before propensity score matching, ESD followed by radiotherapy demonstrated inferior 5-year CSS (hazard ratio [HR] = 3.27, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.12-9.58, P = 0.030), but comparable 5-year OS (HR = 1.46; 95% CI, 0.65-3.27; P = 0.362) versus ESD followed by chemoradiotherapy. After propensity score matching, no significant difference in 5-year CSS (HR = 1.76; 95% CI, 0.49-6.34; P = 0.386) or OS (HR = 1.33; 95% CI, 0.48-3.74; P = 0.585) was observed between treatment groups.
Conclusion: ESD followed by radiotherapy provides equivalent CSS and OS compared to ESD followed by chemoradiotherapy in patients with stage T1bN0M0 esophageal cancer.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Gastrointestinal Cancer is a multidisciplinary medium for the publication of novel research pertaining to cancers arising from the gastrointestinal tract.The journal is dedicated to the most rapid publication possible.The journal publishes papers in all relevant fields, emphasizing those studies that are helpful in understanding and treating cancers affecting the esophagus, stomach, liver, gallbladder and biliary tree, pancreas, small bowel, large bowel, rectum, and anus. In addition, the Journal of Gastrointestinal Cancer publishes basic and translational scientific information from studies providing insight into the etiology and progression of cancers affecting these organs. New insights are provided from diverse areas of research such as studies exploring pre-neoplastic states, risk factors, epidemiology, genetics, preclinical therapeutics, surgery, radiation therapy, novel medical therapeutics, clinical trials, and outcome studies.In addition to reports of original clinical and experimental studies, the journal also publishes: case reports, state-of-the-art reviews on topics of immediate interest or importance; invited articles analyzing particular areas of pancreatic research and knowledge; perspectives in which critical evaluation and conflicting opinions about current topics may be expressed; meeting highlights that summarize important points presented at recent meetings; abstracts of symposia and conferences; book reviews; hypotheses; Letters to the Editors; and other items of special interest, including:Complex Cases in GI Oncology: This is a new initiative to provide a forum to review and discuss the history and management of complex and involved gastrointestinal oncology cases. The format will be similar to a teaching case conference where a case vignette is presented and is followed by a series of questions and discussion points. A brief reference list supporting the points made in discussion would be expected.
