Prognostic Impact of Pretreatment Serum CYFRA Status in 1047 Patients with Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Who Underwent Radical Resection: A Japan Esophageal Society Promotion Research.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The prognostic significance of pretreatment serum C-terminus of cytokeratin 19 (CYFRA21-1, CYFRA) status was evaluated in the patients with surgically treated esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Methods

A total of 1047 patients with surgically treated esophageal cancer were enrolled in a multi-institutional study promoted by the Japanese Esophageal Society. This study included an up-front surgery group (n = 412), a neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) group (n = 486), and a neoadjuvant chemoradiation/radiation therapy (NACRT/RT) group (n = 149). The pretreatment CYFRA status was analyzed to assess prognostic significance using multivariate analysis according to treatment modalities.

Results

The CYFRA-positive group was significantly associated with deep tumor. Univariate analysis showed that the overall survival of the CYFRA-positive group was significantly worse than that of the CYFRA-negative group, but the difference was not significant in the multivariate analysis. CYFRA was an independent risk factor for poor prognosis just in the NACRT/RT group.

Conclusions

The CYFRA-positive group was associated with deep tumor and poor survival. Pretreatment CYFRA was not an independent risk factor for poor prognosis in the up-front surgery group or NAC group. It was an independent risk factor for poor prognosis just in the NACRT/RT group.

Project description:Enteral nutrition (EN) is superior to parenteral nutrition (PN) in improving the nutritional status of esophageal cancer (EC) patients and accelerating postoperative recovery. Therefore, feeding via jejunostomy (FJ) is currently placed during esophagectomy to maintain the postoperative nutrition supply. However, FJ have some serve complications. The aim of this study was to explore the value of feeding via duodenostomy (FD) in reducing the complications associated with FJ. In this retrospective cohort study, the clinical data of 154 patients with EC who underwent surgical treatment in our center from January 1, 2020, to June 30, 2020 were collected. A concurrent, nonrandomized control group of 154 patients underwent thoraco-laparoscopic esophagectomy (TLE) was enrolled consisting of 82 males and 72 females. These patients were randomly divided into two groups according to the different ostomy method applied, including 80 cases in the FD group and 74 cases in the FJ group. The ostomy-related complications during the 180-day follow-up and indicators including perioperative nutritional markers, length of stay (LoS), and operative time were recorded. After 1 week, the albumin level in the FD group was noninferior to that in the FJ group (36.8 vs. 36.3 g/L; P=0.792), and the prealbumin level also showed no significant difference (178 vs. 176 g/L; P=0.347). Four weeks later, there was significant difference in levels of albumin (42 vs. 41 g/L; P=0.018) but no significant difference prealbumin (225 vs. 222.89 g/L; P=0.493). The LoS was similar between the 2 groups (7 vs. 7.21 days; P=0.697). In terms of the time of stoma creation, it was significantly longer in the FD group than in the FJ group (20 vs. 12 minutes; P<0.001); however, it did not bring a significant impact on the overall procedure length (240 vs. 230.69 minutes; P=0.057). The incidence of postoperative complications (e.g., intestinal obstruction) was significantly lower in the FD group than in the FJ group (P=0.017). The method of FD is safe, effective and acceptable. It is worthwhile to use in clinic practice.
