Association of family history with patient characteristics and prognosis in a large European gastroesophageal cancer cohort.
Introduction: The role of the family history in the development and prognosis of gastroesophageal cancer is a controversially discussed topic as appropriate data from western cohorts are lacking. This study aims to explore its associations with disease and outcome parameters in a large European cohort.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed self-reported family history in patients with gastroesophageal cancer treated between 1 January 1990 and 31 December 2021 at the Medical University of Vienna. Association analyses with patient characteristics, tumor characteristics, symptoms and overall survival (OS) were performed.
Results: In our cohort of 1762 gastroesophageal cancer patients, 592 (34%) reported a positive family history of cancer (159, 9%, gastroesophageal cancer). No associations were found with histopathological parameters or initial symptoms; however, a positive family history correlated with female gender (cancer in general: p = 0.011; gastroesophageal cancer: p = 0.015). Family history of cancer in general was associated with earlier cancer stages (p = 0.04), higher BMI (p = 0.005), and alcohol consumption (p = 0.010), while a positive history for gastroesophageal cancer was associated with higher age at diagnosis (p = 0.002) and stomach cancer (p = 0.002). There was no statistically significant association of positive family history with OS (p = 0.1, p = 0.45), also not in subgroups for histology (adeno and squamous cell), number of family members and degree of relative.
Conclusion: Our results emphasize that a positive family history is neither statistically significantly associated with prognosis nor with specific histopathological features in patients with gastroesophageal cancer. Yet, associations with distinct patient characteristics and positive family history indicate that specific subgroups might profit from endoscopic surveillance. Prospective studies are warranted to investigate these findings further.
期刊介绍:
The Wiener klinische Wochenschrift - The Central European Journal of Medicine - is an international scientific medical journal covering the entire spectrum of clinical medicine and related areas such as ethics in medicine, public health and the history of medicine. In addition to original articles, the Journal features editorials and leading articles on newly emerging topics, review articles, case reports and a broad range of special articles. Experimental material will be considered for publication if it is directly relevant to clinical medicine. The number of international contributions has been steadily increasing. Consequently, the international reputation of the journal has grown in the past several years. Founded in 1888, the Wiener klinische Wochenschrift - The Central European Journal of Medicine - is certainly one of the most prestigious medical journals in the world and takes pride in having been the first publisher of landmarks in medicine.
