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.
