Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The role of submucosal endoscopic dissection (ESD) in management of invasive esophageal cancer (EC) remains unclear. In this case series, we evaluate the clinical and technical outcomes of patients who underwent ESD with pathologically staged T1b EC. METHODS This retrospective study included patients who underwent ESD between December 2016 and April 2023 with pathologically staged T1b EC. Patient demographics, tumor characteristics, and ESD technical outcomes were analyzed. Patients were followed to determine disease-free survival and tumor recurrence rates. RESULTS Sixteen patients with a total of 17 pathologically staged T1b ECs were included in this case series with a median follow-up time of 28 months [range 3-75]. ESD had high en-bloc (100%) and R0 (82.3%) resection rates. 16/17 patients (94.1%) were discharged the same day, and there were no immediate perioperative complications. 4/17 patients (23.5%) had curative ESD resections with no tumor recurrence. Among those with non-curative resections (n = 13), 5 patients had ESD only, 6 had ESD + surgery, and 2 underwent ESD + chemoradiation. In the ESD only group, 2/5 patients (40%) had tumor recurrence. In the ESD + surgery group, one patient died from a surgical complication, and 1/5 (20%) had tumor recurrence at follow-up. There was no tumor recurrence among patients who had ESD + chemoradiation. CONCLUSION ESD is safe with high en-bloc and R0 resection rates in T1b EC. Recurrence rates are low but patients need close monitoring. Larger-scale studies are needed to determine the long-term clinical efficacy of ESD in T1b EC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Definitive chemoradiotherapy (DCRT) is a curative treatment option for cT1bN0M0 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC); however, local residual disease and recurrence after complete remission may occur. We aimed to identify endoscopic findings associated with the risk of non-radical cure (local remnant or recurrence) after DCRT for cT1bN0M0 ESCC. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 40 consecutive patients with cT1bN0M0 ESCC who had undergone DCRT between January 2007 and December 2017. We examined the endoscopic findings in patients with residual or recurrent (RR) disease (RR group) and those without RR disease [non-RR (NRR) group] after DCRT. We also evaluated outcomes after DCRT for each endoscopic finding. RESULTS There were 10 patients in the RR group and 30 patients in the NRR group. The RR group had a significantly larger tumor size and a higher proportion of lesions with type 0-I. The 5-year relapse-free survival rate was significantly lower in type 0-I and in the presence of B3 vessels. Endoscopic findings in 15 patients with cT1bN0M0 ESCC, type 0-I, who underwent DCRT revealed significantly more reddish lesions in the RR group compared to the NRR group. CONCLUSIONS cT1bN0M0 ESCC large size, with B3 vessels, and type 0-I has a high risk of non-radical cure after DCRT, especially the reddish type 0-I, which may need to be considered for treatment similar to advanced cancer, including surgery with preoperative DCRT.

A matched cohort comparison of endoscopic resection, chemoradiation and esophagectomy in the treatment of early-stage esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Am J Surg 2023; 225:508-513.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The efficacy of endoscopic resection in early-stage esophageal squamous cell carcinoma has not been defined. METHODS We queried the National Cancer Database to identify patients presenting with cT1N0M0 esophageal squamous cell cancer between 2004 and 2017. Transitive match methods were used to 1:1:1 propensity match patients undergoing endoscopic resection to patients undergoing esophagectomy and those undergoing definitive chemoradiotherapy. Kaplan Meier method was used to compare 5-year overall survival profiles for matched cohorts. RESULTS 301 patients (19%) underwent endoscopic resection; 497 (32%) esophagectomy; 767 (49%) chemoradiation. On comparison of matched cohorts, patients undergoing chemoradiation demonstrated lower rates of survival than those undergoing esophagectomy (32% vs. 59%, p < 0.0001) while those undergoing endoscopic resection demonstrated rates comparable to patients undergoing esophagectomy (53% vs. 59%, p = 0.77). CONCLUSIONS For cT1N0M0 esophageal squamous cell cancer, endoscopic resection is associated with rates of survival similar to those following esophagectomy and better than those following definitive chemoradiation.

Oncologic significance of lymphovascular invasion in patients with superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma reaching the muscularis mucosae or with slight invasion of the submucosa. Surgery 2023; 173:1162-1168. [PMID: 36801078 DOI: 10.1016/j.surg.2022.12.026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2022] [Revised: 12/20/2022] [Accepted: 12/24/2022] [Indexed: 02/18/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The clinicopathological features and the distribution of lymph node metastasis in patients with T1a-MM and T1b-SM1 superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma remain unclear; therefore, the optimal treatment strategy is still controversial. METHODS One hundred and ninety-one patients who had undergone a thoracic esophagectomy with 3-field lymphadenectomy and who were pathologically confirmed to have thoracic superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma that had reached the T1a-MM or T1b-SM1 stage were retrospectively reviewed. Risk factors of lymph node metastasis, the distribution of lymph node metastasis, and long-term outcomes were evaluated. RESULTS A multivariate analysis revealed that lymphovascular invasion was the only independent risk factor of lymph node metastasis (odds ratio: 6.410, P < .001). Patients with primary tumors in the middle thoracic region had lymph node metastasis in all 3 fields, whereas patients with primary tumors in the upper or lower thoracic region did not have distant lymph node metastasis. The frequencies of neck (P = .045) and abdominal (P < .001) lymph node metastasis were significantly higher in lymphovascular invasion-positive patients than those in lymphovascular invasion-negative patients in all cohort. MM/lymphovascular invasion-positive patients with middle thoracic tumors had lymph node metastasis spread from the neck to the abdomen. SM1/lymphovascular invasion-negative patients with middle thoracic tumors did not have lymph node metastasis in the abdominal region. The SM1/pN+ group had a significantly poorer overall survival and relapse-free survival than the other groups. CONCLUSION The present study revealed that lymphovascular invasion was associated with not only the frequency of lymph node metastasis, but also the distribution of lymph node metastasis. It also suggested that superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients with T1b-SM1 and lymph node metastasis had a significantly poorer outcome than those with T1a-MM and lymph node metastasis.

Patterns of Recurrence and Long-Term Survival of Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy Versus Open Esophagectomy for Locally Advanced Esophageal Cancer Treated with Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy: a Propensity Score-Matched Analysis. J Gastrointest Surg 2023:10.1007/s11605-023-05615-x. [PMID: 36749557 DOI: 10.1007/s11605-023-05615-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2022] [Accepted: 01/27/2023] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) as a treatment for patients with esophageal cancer has recently become more common worldwide. However, differences in the pattern of recurrence between MIE and open esophagectomy (OE) using the transthoracic approach have not been fully investigated, particularly in patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy. METHODS We searched the prospective databases of two institutes for patients with esophageal cancer who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by esophagectomy between 2011 and 2018. Propensity score-matched analysis was performed to reduce bias from confounding patient-related variables. Operative outcomes, regionally harvested lymph nodes (LNs), recurrence pattern, and prognosis were investigated in two groups. RESULTS We identified 410 patients who underwent OE (n = 263) and MIE (n = 147). After propensity score matching, 131 pairs of patients were selected. There were no significant differences in baseline characteristics after matching. The total number of harvested LNs in both groups was similar (55.1 vs. 58.9, P = 0.132). The incidence of LN recurrence in the MIE group was significantly lower than that in the OE group (27% vs. 15%, P = 0.010). In particular, the incidence of mediastinal LN recurrence in the MIE group was significantly lower than that in the OE group (16% vs. 6%, P = 0.017). There were no significant differences between the two groups in hematogenous (19% vs.12%, P = 0.173), dissemination (5% vs. 4%, P = 0.769), local (4% vs. 1%. P = 0.213), and other recurrence (3% vs. 3%, P = 1.000). The 3-year disease-free and overall survival of MIE were significantly better than OE (71.4% vs. 50.5%, P = 0.004 and 80.3% vs. 61.2%, P = 0.002, respectively). Multivariate analysis showed that the thoracic approach (OE vs. MIE) (HR 1.93, P = 0.004) was an independent prognostic factor, along with the pathological N stage (HR 3.05, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS MIE has less intramediastinal LN recurrence than OE and may lead to a better long-term prognosis in patients with advanced esophageal cancer who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In case of high risk of lymph node invasion after endoscopic resection (ER) of superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), adjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) can be an alternative to surgery. We assessed long-term clinical outcomes of adjuvant therapy by CRT after non-curative ER for superficial SCC. METHODS We performed a retrospective multicenter study. From April 1999 to April 2018, all consecutive patients who underwent ER for SCC with tumor infiltration beyond the muscularis mucosae were included. RESULTS A total of 137 ER were analyzed. The overall nodal or metastatic recurrence-free survival rate at 5 years was 88% and specific recurrence-free survival rates at 5 years with and without adjuvant therapy were, respectively, 97.9% and 79.1% (p = 0.011). Independent factors for nodal and/or distal metastatic recurrence were age (HR = 1.075, p = 0.031), Sm infiltration depth > 200 µm (HR = 4.129, p = 0.040), and the absence of adjuvant CRT or surgery (HR = 11.322, p = 0.029). CONCLUSION In this study, adjuvant therapy is associated with a higher recurrence-free survival rate at 5 years after non-curative ER. This result suggests this approach may be considered as an alternative to surgery in selected patients.

Long-Term Clinical Outcomes and Safety Analysis of Superficial Esophageal Cancer Patients Treated with Definitive or Adjuvant Radiotherapy. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:3423. [PMID: 35884483 PMCID: PMC9322572 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14143423] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2022] [Revised: 07/11/2022] [Accepted: 07/12/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: The role of radiotherapy (RT) in superficial esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC) remains unclear. The objective of our study was to perform a detailed outcome and safety analysis of RT as a definitive or adjuvant treatment for T1N0M0 staged ESCC patients. (2) Methods: A total of 55 patients treated with endoscopic resection (ER) + RT/concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) or RT/CCRT from January 2011 to June 2021 were included in this study. Eighteen patients with risk factors received ER + RT/CCRT, and thirty-seven patients solely received RT/CCRT. Kaplan-Meier curves were used to calculate the clinical outcomes, and toxicities were scored. (3) Results: The median follow-up time was 51.9 months. The estimated 5-year local recurrence-free survival (LRFS) and overall survival (OS) were 88.9% and 94.4% in the ER + RT/CCRT group and 91.8% and 91.7% in the RT/CCRT group. The predominant failure pattern was in-field local failure (5.5%, 3/55), with one patient in the ER + RT/CCRT group and two patients in the RT/CCRT group. One patient (1.8%, 1/55) had lung metastasis in the RT/CCRT group. The most common toxicities were Grades 1-2 in all patients, including esophagitis (74.5%, 41/55), myelosuppression (49.1%, 27/55) and esophageal stricture after RT (27.3%, 15/55). Two patients (11.1%, 2/18) and four patients (10.8%, 4/37) had Grade 3 esophageal stricture after RT in the ER + RT/CCRT group and RT/CCRT group, respectively. No patients experienced a Grade 4 or higher toxicity, and there were no treatment-related deaths. (4) Conclusions: Definitive or adjuvant RT/CCRT is an effective treatment alternative for superficial ESCC patients with satisfactory clinical outcomes and acceptable toxicities.

Definitive chemoradiotherapy has comparable survival outcomes to esophagectomy in patients with clinical T1N0M0 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: real-world data. Int J Clin Oncol 2022; 27:1279-1288.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, the JCOG0502 has shown a comparable efficacy of chemoradiotherapy and esophagectomy in patients with clinical T1N0M0 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. However, few studies have compared the clinical outcomes of these treatments in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients (including elderly patients) based on real-world data. METHODS This retrospective study determined real-world outcomes in patients who underwent chemoradiotherapy or esophagectomy, including those with clinical T1N0M0 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, between 2009 and 2017 at the National Cancer Center Hospital East. RESULTS Among a total of 156 patients, 120 and 36 patients underwent esophagectomy and chemoradiotherapy, respectively; 138, 12 and 6 patients had Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 0, 1, and 2, respectively; and 33 and 123 patients had clinical tumor depth MM-SM1 and SM2-SM3, respectively. In a median follow-up of 72 months, 5-year progression-free survival and overall survival were respectively 77.0% and 81.5% in the esophagectomy group and 74.4% and 82.6% in the chemoradiotherapy group (P = 0.48 and, P = 0.89). Moreover, no treatment-related death was detected in both groups. In elderly patients (75 years or older), 5-year progression-free survival and overall survival were not significantly different between esophagectomy and chemoradiotherapy groups (5-year progression-free survival: 72.3% vs. 81.8%, P = 0.38; 5-year overall survival: 76.9% vs. 81.8%, P = 0.59). CONCLUSIONS This real-world study confirms the results of a previous clinical trial, and the present findings support chemoradiotherapy as one of the standard treatment options in patients of all ages with clinical T1N0M0 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Influence of radiation dose and predicted tumor invasion depth on local recurrence after definitive chemoradiotherapy for stage 0-I esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: a propensity score-weighted, retrospective, observational study. BMC Cancer 2022; 22:301. [PMID: 35313853 PMCID: PMC8939113 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-022-09418-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2021] [Accepted: 03/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The optimal radiation dose for treating non-metastatic superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma is unknown. In this retrospective observational study, we investigated the influence of radiation dose and pretreatment endoscopic prediction of tumor invasion depth on local recurrence after definitive chemoradiotherapy in patients with superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. METHODS We analyzed 134 patients with clinical Tis-T1N0M0 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who underwent chemoradiotherapy at our institution between 2006 and 2019. Patients were grouped into standard-dose (50.0-50.4 Gy) and high-dose (60.0 Gy) radiotherapy groups. The outcomes of interest were local recurrence and major local recurrence (endoscopically unresectable local recurrent tumors). Kaplan-Meier analysis and the log-rank test were used with propensity score and inverse probability of treatment weighting. Cox proportional hazards analysis was performed to identify predictors of local recurrence and major local recurrence. RESULTS The median follow-up times were 52 and 84 months for the standard-dose and high-dose groups, respectively. The adjusted 3-year local recurrence and major local recurrence rates in the standard-dose and high-dose groups were 33.8 and 9.6% (adjusted hazard ratio, 4.00 [95% confidence interval: 1.64-9.73]; adjusted log-rank p = 0.001) and 12.5 and 4.7% (adjusted hazard ratio, 3.13 [95% confidence interval: 0.91-10.81]; adjusted log-rank p = 0.098), respectively. Cox proportional hazards analysis showed that standard-dose radiotherapy and endoscopic findings of deep submucosal invasion are independently associated with local recurrence and major local recurrence. CONCLUSIONS High-dose radiotherapy is more beneficial for local tumor control than standard-dose radiotherapy in patients with non-metastatic superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The use of high-dose radiotherapy may merit consideration for tumors with deep submucosal invasion.

Dis Esophagus 2022; 35:6329176. [PMID: 34318324 DOI: 10.1093/dote/doab049] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2021] [Revised: 05/19/2021] [Accepted: 06/27/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Esophagectomy and definitive chemoradiotherapy are commonly used in the treatment of stage I esophageal cancer (EC). The present study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of esophagectomy and definitive chemoradiotherapy as the initial treatment for clinical stage I EC. METHODS This study was registered with the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (CRD42020197203). Relevant studies were identified through PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library from database inception to June 30, 2020. Hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) was employed to compare overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Odds ratio (OR) with 95% CI was employed to compare treatment-related death, complications, and tumor recurrence. RESULTS A total of 13 non-randomized controlled studies involving 3,346 patients were included. Compared with definitive chemoradiotherapy, esophagectomy showed an improved OS (HR 0.69, 95% CI 0.55-0.86; P < 0.001), PFS (HR 0.47, 95% CI 0.33-0.67; P < 0.001), and a lower risk of tumor recurrence (OR 0.43, 95% CI 0.30-0.61; P < 0.001). There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications (OR 1.11, 95% CI 0.75-1.65; P = 0.60) and treatment-related death (OR 1.15, 95% CI 0.31-4.30; P = 0.84) between the two treatments. CONCLUSIONS Current evidence shows esophagectomy has superior survival benefits as the initial treatment for clinical stage I EC. It is still the preferred choice for patients with clinical stage I EC. However, future high-quality randomized controlled trials are needed to validate this conclusion.

Endoscopic resection as an independent predictive factor of local control in patients with T1bN0M0 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma treated with chemoradiotherapy: a retrospective study. Radiat Oncol 2022; 17:11. [PMID: 35057830 PMCID: PMC8772177 DOI: 10.1186/s13014-021-01972-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2021] [Accepted: 12/21/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Although chemoradiotherapy (CRT) is one of the curative treatments for thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) with submucosal invasion, the risk of local recurrence after CRT remains a clinical problem. This retrospective study aimed to analyze the predictive factors for local recurrence after CRT. Methods Ninety-one patients with clinical or pathological (c/p) T1bN0M0 thoracic ESCC who underwent CRT from 2004 to 2017 in our institution were analyzed retrospectively. Sixty-three patients were diagnosed with pathological T1b after undergoing initial endoscopic resection (ER) and treated with additional CRT; meanwhile, 28 patients were clinically diagnosed with T1b and underwent definitive CRT. We investigated the predictors of disease–specific survival (DSS) and local recurrence–free survival (LRFS) by performing univariate and multivariate analyses. Results The median observation period was 59.8 months. The 5-year DSS and LRFS rates were 84.3% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 76.1–92.5) and 87.1% (95% CI: 79.1–95.1), respectively. The multivariate analysis revealed no significant predictors associated with DSS. On the contrary, ER (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.11, 95% CI: 0.02–0.48, p = 0.003) and tumor length (HR: 6.78, 95% CI: 1.28–36.05, p = 0.025) were recognized as independent predictive factors for LRFS. During follow-up, recurrence was observed in 18 patients (19.8%). With regard to the patterns of relapse, local recurrence was the most common in 11 patients, and salvage ER was performed in 9 of 11 patients. Conclusions ER and tumor length were independent predictive factors for LRFS. Our study suggested that performance of ER prior to CRT improved the local control in patients with c/p T1bN0M0 ESCC. In addition, most of the patients who experienced local recurrence were treated with salvage ER, which contributed to preserving the organs.

cT1N0M0 Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Invades the Muscularis Mucosa or Submucosa: Comparison of the Results of Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection and Esophagectomy. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14020424. [PMID: 35053586 PMCID: PMC8773651 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14020424] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2021] [Revised: 12/22/2021] [Accepted: 01/12/2022] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Esophagectomy has been the standard treatment for superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SESCC) that invades the muscularis mucosa or submucosa. This retrospective study aimed to assess the effects of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) combined with selective adjuvant chemoradiotherapy on these SESCCs by comparing the results of esophagectomy. We found no significant differences in overall survival, disease-specific survival, and progression-free survival between the two groups. In the ESD group, the procedure time, overall complication rates, and length of hospital stay were significantly reduced, but the rate of metachronous tumor recurrence was significantly increased. Therefore, ESD combined with selective adjuvant chemoradiotherapy can be an alternative treatment to esophagectomy for SESCC invading the muscularis mucosa or submucosa. Abstract Background: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) combined with selective adjuvant chemoradiotherapy may be a new treatment option for cT1N0M0 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) invading muscularis mucosa or submucosa (pT1a-M3/pT1b). We aim to report the effectiveness of this treatment by comparing the results of esophagectomy. Methods: This retrospective single-center study included 72 patients with pT1a-M3/pT1b ESCC who received ESD combined with selective adjuvant chemoradiotherapy (n = 40) and esophagectomy (n = 32). The main outcome comparison was overall survival (OS). The secondary outcomes were treatment-related events, including operation time, complication rate, and length of hospital stay. Disease-specific survival (DSS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were also evaluated. Results: There were no significant differences in the rates of OS, DSS, and PFS between the two groups (median follow-up time: 49.2 months vs. 50.9 months); these were also the same in the subgroup analysis of pT1b ESCC patients. In the ESD group, the procedure time, overall complication rates, and length of hospital stay were significantly reduced. However, the metachronous recurrence rate was significantly higher. In a multivariate analysis, tumor depth and R0 resection were the independent factors associated with OS. Conclusions: ESD combined with selective adjuvant chemoradiotherapy can be an alternative treatment to esophagectomy for cT1N0M0 ESCC invading muscularis mucosa or submucosa.

Definitive chemoradiotherapy versus esophagectomy in patients with clinical T1bN0M0 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: A retrospective study. Radiother Oncol 2021; 162:112-118. [PMID: 34265356 DOI: 10.1016/j.radonc.2021.07.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2021] [Revised: 06/22/2021] [Accepted: 07/05/2021] [Indexed: 01/22/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE This study aimed to determine the equivalence between definitive chemoradiotherapy (DCRT) and radical esophagectomy in clinical T1bN0M0 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). MATERIALS AND METHODS Among 282 patients with cT1bN0M0 ESCC, 238 underwent radical esophagectomy and 44 underwent DCRT. Both treatments were retrospectively compared overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and complications. RESULTS The DCRT group exhibited poorer patient characteristics than the surgery group, especially with mean age (73 vs. 63 years), Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) status, and Charlson Comorbidity Index (p < 0.001, each). The median follow-up duration was 49.5 (range, 0.4-97.0) and 45.5 months (range, 5.0-112.0) in the surgery and DCRT groups, respectively. In the DCRT group, clinical complete response was achieved in 43 patients (97.7%) at 1 month after treatment. The 5-year OS rates were 75.8% and 68.8% (p = 0.135) and the 5-year PFS were 63.8% and 57.8% (p = 0.637) for the surgery and DCRT groups, respectively. Local recurrence rates were identical between the two groups (11.4% and 11.4%), but the distant metastasis rate was lower in the DCRT group (n = 1, 2.27% vs. n = 29, 12.15%). Grade 3-4 hematologic toxicities were observed in 11 patients (25%) of the DCRT group, and 56 patients (23.5%) in the surgery group showed grade 3-5 surgical complications, including mortality (n = 5). CONCLUSION Based on the non-inferior survival rates, recurrence patterns, and complication rates without critical surgical mortality, DCRT was comparable to esophagectomy for cT1bN0 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Abstract
Although surgery was the standard treatment for early gastrointestinal cancers, endoscopic resection is now a standard treatment for early gastrointestinal cancers without regional lymph node metastasis. High-definition white light endoscopy, chromoendoscopy, and image-enhanced endoscopy such as narrow band imaging are performed to assess the edge and depth of early gastrointestinal cancers for delineation of resection boundaries and prediction of the possibility of lymph node metastasis before the decision of endoscopic resection. Endoscopic mucosal resection and/or endoscopic submucosal dissection can be performed to remove early gastrointestinal cancers completely by en bloc fashion. Histopathological evaluation should be carefully made to investigate the presence of risk factors for lymph node metastasis such as depth of cancer invasion and lymphovascular invasion. Additional treatment such as radical surgery with regional lymphadenectomy should be considered if the endoscopically resected specimen shows risk factors for lymph node metastasis. This is the first Korean clinical practice guideline for endoscopic resection of early gastrointestinal cancer. This guideline was developed by using mainly de novo methods and encompasses endoscopic management of superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, early gastric cancer, and early colorectal cancer. This guideline will be revised as new data on early gastrointestinal cancer are collected.

Photon Versus Proton Beam Therapy for T1-3 Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Thoracic Esophagus Without Lymph Node Metastasis. Front Oncol 2021; 11:699172. [PMID: 34235087 PMCID: PMC8255910 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2021.699172] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2021] [Accepted: 05/20/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Background and Purpose We compared treatment outcomes and toxicities of photon radiotherapy versus proton beam therapy (PBT) and evaluated radiation field effects for T1–3 squamous cell carcinoma of the thoracic esophagus (EC) without lymph node metastasis. Methods Medical records of 77 patients with T1–3N0M0 thoracic EC treated with radiotherapy between 2011 and 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Among these patients, 61 (79.2%) individuals had T1 EC. The initial clinical target volume encompassed the whole esophagus with or without supraclavicular and/or abdominal lymph nodes (extended-field radiotherapy; 67 patients, 87.0%) or the area 3–5 cm craniocaudally and 1–2 cm radially from the gross tumor volume (involved-field radiotherapy; 10 patients, 13.0%). The final clinical target volume included margins of at least 1 cm from the gross tumor volume, with total radiation doses of 50–66 (median, 66) cobalt gray equivalent. Three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy, intensity-modulated radiotherapy, and PBT were used in twenty-four, five, and forty-eight patients, respectively. Concurrent chemotherapy was administered to 17 (22.0%) patients overall and only five (8.0%) T1 patients. Results PBT showed significantly lower lung and heart radiation exposure in mean dose, V5, V10, V20, and V30 than photon radiotherapy. The median follow-up for all patients was 46 (interquartile range, 22–72) months. The 5-year progression-free survival and overall survival rates were 56.5 and 64.9%, respectively, with no significant survival difference between photon radiotherapy and PBT. In patients with T1 EC, 5-year progression-free survival and overall survival rates were 62.6 and 73.5%, respectively. Conclusions Extended-field radiotherapy using modern radiotherapy techniques without chemotherapy showed satisfactory clinical outcomes for lymph node-negative T1 EC.

Abstract
Esophageal cancer is diagnosed usually at a locally advanced stage. Surgery alone has less optimal results and a multimodality approach has been established as the standard of care for cII-III stages of esophageal cancer. This review focuses on the recent evidences of management of esophageal cancer with various variations in approaches in Eastern and Western countries. The major difference is the selection of induction treatment. Till the results of some ongoing trials become available, most of the evidences support neoadjuvant chemoradiation followed by surgery for squamous cell carcinoma and perioperative chemotherapy and surgery for adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The standard treatment for patients with clinical T1bN0M0 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma is radical esophagectomy. Definitive chemoradiotherapy is regarded as a treatment option, and recently, good clinical outcomes of this treatment have been reported. This study compared prognosis after definitive chemoradiotherapy with radical esophagectomy. METHODS From January 2011 to December 2019, 68 consecutive patients who were diagnosed clinical T1bN0M0 squamous cell carcinoma were enrolled and investigated retrospectively. Patients were classified into two groups whether treated by surgery or definitive chemoradiotherapy. Survival outcomes were compared, and subsequent therapies after recurrence were also investigated. RESULTS Among 68 patients, 39 patients underwent surgery and 29 patients received definitive chemoradiotherapy. No significant difference was noted in overall survival between the two groups. However, the rate of 5-year recurrence-free survival was significantly lower in definitive chemoradiotherapy group than that of surgery group (91.1 vs. 62.7%, hazard ratio 3.976, 95% confidence interval 1.076-14.696, p = 0.039). Patients who had local recurrence after definitive chemoradiotherapy received endoscopic submucosal dissection or photodynamic therapy as salvage therapies, which resulted in no disease progression and a good prognosis. CONCLUSIONS Definitive chemoradiotherapy may become a promising alternative therapy comparable with radical esophagectomy in patients with clinical T1bN0M0 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Early detection of recurrence by frequent follow-up after definitive chemoradiotherapy is important to control disease within local recurrence, and salvage therapy for local lesions could contribute to long-term survival.

Abstract
Early esophageal cancer involves the mucosal and submucosal layers of the esophagus. Early esophageal cancer is a heterogeneous group, and achieving optimal outcomes requires a multidisciplinary approach to align patients to their optimal treatment. Although organ-sparing endoscopic resection has become the preferred management option for superficial esophageal cancer, it is not adequate in all tumors, such as high-risk lesions with poorly differentiated pathology, lymphovascular invasion, or deep submucosal invasion. In such high-risk lesions, surgery, chemotherapy, and/or radiation may be required. In this article, we present our multidisciplinary approach to early esophageal cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE With the widespread use of definitive chemoradiotherapy (dCRT) for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), salvage surgery for recurrence/residual patients became prevalent. However, survival impact of salvage surgery remains obscure at present. METHODS The updated clinical outcomes of salvage surgery were investigated to know its survival impact. Of the 155 ESCC patients who underwent dCRT between 2009 and 2016, we included 85 patients with recurrence or residual disease. The median follow-up was 65 months. RESULTS Of the 85 patients with progression disease, there were 42 and 43 patients of recurrence and residual disease, respectively. Salvage surgery was performed in 27 patients after dCRT, including 15 patients who underwent salvage esophagectomy. The 5-year overall survival (OS) of salvage surgery and otherwise patients was 66.1% and 14.5%, and the patients with salvage surgery had a significantly better prognosis (p < 0.0001). In the 15 patients who underwent salvage esophagectomy, residual disease, lymph node metastasis-positive (ycN+) after dCRT, and pathological lymph node metastasis-positive (ypN+) were significantly associated with poor prognosis (p = 0.0492, p = 0.0006, p = 0.0276), and the 5-year OS rates for the ycN/ypN combinations were 90%, 33.3%, and 0% in ycN-/ypN-, ycN+/ypN-, and ycN+/ypN+ patients, respectively (p = 0.0026). In a multivariate analysis, ycN+ was an independent poor prognostic factor (HR 13.6, 95% CI 1.65-286.8, p = 0.0154). CONCLUSIONS Survival impact of salvage surgery after dCRT is robust, and lymph node metastasis after dCRT may help determine the indication for salvage esophagectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Esophagobronchial fistula is a common complication of advanced esophageal cancer, related to respiratory distress and mortality. Esophageal bypass has been successfully utilized for palliation, as bridging to definitive chemoradiotherapy. The aim of this study is to present an extremely difficult case of a mid-esophageal squamous cell carcinoma complicated with aerodigestive fistula that was treated using 3D laparoscopic-assisted esophageal bypass with curative intent. CASE REPORT A 49-year-old female patient presented with T4b esophageal-squamous cell carcinoma and esophagobronchial fistula. Laparoscopic-assisted V-shaped retrosternal esophageal bypass using a gastric conduit was started, which was converted to open surgery due to respiratory distress. The patient was able to undergo chemoradiotherapy treatment. CONCLUSION 3D laparoscopic-assisted esophageal bypass can be a safe and feasible approach in patients with advanced mid-esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and esophagobroncial fistula. Additionally to the advantages of laparoscopic surgery, this operation permits oral feeding, and can be used with possible curative intent in patients with adequate response to chemoradiotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Proton beam therapy (PBT) with concurrent chemotherapy is promising for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The aim of study was to evaluate the outcome of concurrent chemo-proton therapy (CCPT), i.e., PBT with concurrent chemotherapy for cT1 ESCC and the salvage endoscopic therapy for local recurrence. METHODS Patients with clinical T1 ESCC who underwent CCPT (60 GyE) between April 2013 and April 2017 at the National Cancer Center Hospital East were investigated. The efficacy of CCPT at the primary site was evaluated via endoscopy; primary complete response (CR) was defined as disappearance of the tumor lesion/ulcer and absence of cancer cells on biopsy. Endoscopic evaluation was performed with the same protocol of conventional chemoradiotherapy. Local recurrence after CCPT was treated with endoscopic resection for cT1a and with esophagectomy or photodynamic therapy for cT1b+. RESULTS Of the 44 patients (median age, 70 years) that underwent CCPT, 43 patients (98%) achieved primary CR. Among the 44 patients, the 3-year overall survival rate was 95.2%. Five patients (11%) developed local recurrence without regional lymph node or distant metastasis and received endoscopic resection or photodynamic therapy. All five patients were alive with no recurrence after a median 23 months. CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that CCPT is an effective treatment for cT1 ESCC and careful endoscopic follow-up allows preferable local control with salvage endoscopic treatment.

Abstract
Background Esophagectomy is still advised as an additional treatment for pathological T1b (pT1b) esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) following attempted endoscopic resection (ER). ER followed with definitive chemoradiotherapy (dCRT) has shown increased quality of life as well as comparable oncological outcomes to esophagectomy. However, there is no well-designed phase III trial to compare the two treatments for patients with pT1b ESCC. Methods One hundred seventy-six patients with clinical stage N0 (cN0) and pT1b ESCC will be recruited at three centers and randomly assigned to the esophagectomy group or the dCRT group. The clinical lymph node status will be measured by image examination, including computer tomography and positron emission tomography–computed tomography. The pathological tumor status will be diagnosed after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). All patients will be followed up for 60 months after randomization. The primary endpoint is 5-year overall survival. The secondary endpoints are quality of life, related adverse events, 3-year overall survival, and relapse-free survival rates. Discussion To the best of our knowledge, this is the first phase III randomized controlled trial to compare esophagectomy and dCRT for patients with cN0-pT1b ESCC after ESD. Based on the results of this study, we will show whether dCRT will benefit patients more than esophagectomy, which will contribute more high-quality evidence to the primary salvage treatment for these patients.

Abstract
Although surgery was the standard treatment for early gastrointestinal cancers, endoscopic resection is now a standard treatment for early gastrointestinal cancers without regional lymph node metastasis. High-definition white light endoscopy, chromoendoscopy, and image-enhanced endoscopy such as narrow band imaging are performed to assess the edge and depth of early gastrointestinal cancers for delineation of resection boundaries and prediction of the possibility of lymph node metastasis before the decision of endoscopic resection. Endoscopic mucosal resection and/or endoscopic submucosal dissection can be performed to remove early gastrointestinal cancers completely by en bloc fashion. Histopathological evaluation should be carefully made to investigate the presence of risk factors for lymph node metastasis such as depth of cancer invasion and lymphovascular invasion. Additional treatment such as radical surgery with regional lymphadenectomy should be considered if the endoscopically resected specimen shows risk factors for lymph node metastasis. This is the first Korean clinical practice guideline for endoscopic resection of early gastrointestinal cancer. This guideline was developed by using mainly de novo methods and encompasses endoscopic management of superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, early gastric cancer, and early colorectal cancer. This guideline will be revised as new data on early gastrointestinal cancer are collected.

Adjuvant therapy for pT1a-m3/pT1b esophageal squamous cell carcinoma after endoscopic resection: Esophagectomy or chemoradiotherapy? A critical review. Crit Rev Oncol Hematol 2020; 147:102883. [PMID: 32014674 DOI: 10.1016/j.critrevonc.2020.102883] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2019] [Revised: 12/08/2019] [Accepted: 01/21/2020] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Endoscopic resection (ER) combined with adjuvant therapy appears to be a new treatment for esophageal squamous cell cancers (ESCC) invading to deep mucosa (pT1a-m3) or submucosa (pT1b). Adjuvant therapy can take the form of esophagectomy or chemoradiotherapy (CRT), but it is unclear which treatment is better. This review is to explore the outcomes of adjuvant therapy between esophagectomy and CRT for the treatment of pT1a-m3/pT1b ESCC after ER. Ten relevant studies with a total of 285 patients were included. The reported 5-year overall survival rates ranged between 90-100 % for ER-esophagectomy and 75-85 % for ER-CRT. ESCC with the invasion of ≥ sm2 combined with lymphovascular involvement was associated with a high-risk of relapse in patients receiving ER-CRT, but not in ER-esophagectomy. In conclusion, patients with a high-risk of relapse should be treated with ER-esophagectomy; ER-CRT may be used as an alternative treatment for patients with a nonhigh risk of relapse.

Abstract
The relationship between lymphovascular invasion (LVI) and prognosis in patients with superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SESCC) is unclear. The aim of this study is to evaluate prognostic factors in patients with lymph node-negative SESCC. A total of 195 patients with pathologically confirmed T1a-MM, T1b, and lymph node-negative SESCC were retrospectively reviewed in this study. Overall, the disease-free survival (DFS) rate was poorer in the lymphatic invasion-positive group than in the lymphatic invasion-negative group (p = 0.002) and a multivariate analysis suggested that lymphatic invasion was the only independent prognostic factor of DFS in patients with lymph node-negative SESCC (HR = 4.075, p = 0.005). Distant organ recurrence occurred in one patient (1/52, 1.9%) in the T1b-SM2 group and in six patients (6/61, 9.7%) in the T1b-SM3 group; all of these patients had LVI. LVI-positive patients had a poorer DFS than invasion-negative patients in the T1b-SM2 and SM3 groups (p = 0.026), and a multivariate analysis suggested that LVI was the only independent prognostic factor of DFS in patients with lymph node-negative SM2 and SM3 SESCC (HR = 5.165, p = 0.031). Lymph node-positive patients had a significantly poorer DFS rate than lymph node negative and LVI positive patients among the SM2 and SM3 SESCC patients (p = 0.018). The present results suggested that LVI was an independent prognostic factor in patients with SM2 and SM3 lymph node-negative SESCC; however their prognosis was not worse than that of patients with lymph node-positive SM2 and SM3 SESCC, for whom adjuvant therapy is indicated as a standard treatment.

Abstract
Background Long-term outcomes of patients with clinical T1bN0M0 thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) treated using radical esophagectomy were compared with those treated using definitive chemoradiotherapy (dCRT). Methods A total of 320 consecutive patients with clinical T1bN0M0 thoracic ESCC who initially underwent radical esophagectomy or chemoradiotherapy during 2001-2011 were deemed eligible. Of these patients, 102 and 218 underwent radical esophagectomy and dCRT, respectively. Overall survival (OS) and causes of death were compared between the esophagectomy group and the chemoradiotherapy group. Results Five-year OS in the esophagectomy group was significantly better than that of the chemoradiotherapy group in both the overall sample and a subset of patients aged ≥70 years (P=0.004 and P=0.040). Male patients appeared to benefit more from radical esophagectomy (P=0.005). Until 2006, radical esophagectomy yielded superior results relative to dCRT (P=0.009). However, the survival outcomes after chemoradiotherapy were non-inferior to those after esophagectomy since 2007 (P=0.255). Up to 2006, esophagectomy and chemoradiotherapy groups exhibited significant differences in the causes of death (P=0.024), such that the latter group had a significantly higher rate of deaths due to respiratory complications (P=0.025). However, the introduction of 3-dimensional radiation with CT guided planning in 2007 resolved this inter-group difference (P=0.460). Conclusions The appreciable developments in radiation technology have enabled the achievement of comparable long-term outcomes in the chemoradiotherapy group compared with the esophagectomy group in patients with clinical T1bN0M0 thoracic ESCC.

Abstract
Lymph node metastasis (LNM) of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) has important prognostic significance. In this study, we examined the correlations between lymph node metastatic sites and prognosis in patients with resectable ESCC.A total of 960 patients who received curative esophagectomy with systemic lymphadenectomy between 1996 and 2014 were included in the retrospective analysis. The Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test were used to perform the survival analysis. The prognostic significance of LNM site was evaluated by Cox regression analysis.The LNM in middle paraesophageal (P < .001), subcarinal (P < .001), lower paraesophageal (P < .001), recurrent laryngeal nerve (P = .012), paratracheal (P = .014), and perigastric (P < .001) sites were associated with poor prognosis in univariate analysis. In multivariate analysis, only middle paraesophageal LNM (MPLNM, P = .017; HR, 1.33; 95%CI, 1.05-1.67) was the independent factor for worse prognosis. Additionally, patients with MPLNM had a lower 5-year survival rate (15.6%) than those with LNM at other sites. Furthermore, upper or middle tumor location and relatively late pN stage were associated with increased risk of MPLNM.Our findings suggested MPLNM could be a characteristic indicating the worst prognosis. Preoperative examinations should identify the existences of MPLNM, especially on patients with risk factors. And patients with MPLNM should be considered for more aggressive multidisciplinary therapies.

Abstract
Background Endoscopic resection (ER) followed by radiation therapy (RT) is a treatment option for early stage esophageal cancer (EC). We used the surveillance epidemiology and end results (SEER) database to investigate the influence of adjuvant RT after ER on survival for early stage EC. Methods The SEER database [1998-2013] was queried for locoregional cases of EC. Tumor staging was redefined with the 8th Edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC)/Union for International Cancer Control tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) staging system. The T1-2 stage EC cases in which ER were followed by radiation or observation were included. Kaplan-Meier methods were performed to compare overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) between the patients who received radiation and those who did not. Subgroup analysis was made according to AJCC stage. A multivariate Cox proportional-hazards regression model was used to identify independent covariates which may influence survival. Results The median survival of the no-radiation group was significantly longer than that of the radiation group [74 vs. 31 months; hazard risk (HR), 2.39; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.782-3.197; P<0.001]. In T1a stage subgroup, patients who did not receive RT had significantly better OS and CSS outcomes (OS: 90 vs. 31 months; HR, 2.90; 95% CI, 1.766-4.773; P<0.001; CSS: 105 vs. 48 months; HR, 5.40; 95% CI, 2.636-8.226; P<0.001). In the T1b and T2 subgroup analyses, both the OS and CSS were not significantly different between the radiation group and the no-radiation group (all P>0.05). In multivariate regression analysis, radiation was not a significant factor for OS and CSS after adjustment for confounding factors (P>0.05). Conclusions Using SEER data, we revealed that RT after ER did not improve survival in early stage EC patients; specifically, RT did not benefit T1b and T2 patients and may lead to poorer survival in T1a patients. Our findings do not support the addition of RT after ER for early stage EC, especially T1a EC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Definitive chemoradiation therapy or chemotherapy alone is generally recommended for patients with unresectable cT4b esophageal cancer. However, conversion surgery has emerged as a therapeutic option when downstaging is achieved by induction therapy. METHODS We studied 169 patients with cT4 esophageal cancer who underwent induction therapy. Survival and prognostic factors were examined. RESULTS Of 169 patients, 25 who achieved a clinical complete response (cCR) underwent surveillance, 72 patients underwent conversion surgery, while another 72 patients whose tumors were regarded as unresectable after induction therapy did not undergo surgery. Among 169 patients, the 3- and 5-year survival rates were 31.0% and 25.9%, respectively. Sixty-four patients who underwent curative resection showed better survival comparable with survival of 25 patients who achieved cCR (3- and 5-year survival; 56.8% and 48.6% versus 64.0% and 52.0%, respectively). However, the survival of eight patients who underwent noncurative resection was as dismal as that of patients who did not undergo conversion surgery. Multivariate analysis in 169 patients identified female sex and achieving cCR or R0 resection as independent prognostic factors. Multivariate analysis in 72 patients who underwent conversion surgery identified sex, lymph node status, and R0 resection as independent prognostic factors in patients with cT4b esophageal cancer. CONCLUSIONS The present study showed that conversion surgery after induction therapy can be a potentially curative treatment option for select patients with cT4b esophageal cancer. An important issue for further research is to establish a method for more accurately diagnosing tumor resectability after induction therapy for cT4b esophageal cancer.

Abstract
Nononcological prognostic factors in superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SESCC) patients remain unclear. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between sarcopenia and surgical outcome in patients with SESCC who had undergone definitive surgery. A total of 194 SESCC patients who had undergone thoracic esophagectomy with three-field lymphadenectomy without neoadjuvant therapy at Tokai University Hospital between January 2006 and December 2015 were analyzed retrospectively. Manual tracing using CT imaging was used to measure the cross-sectional areas of the skeletal muscle mass. The cutoff values for the skeletal muscle index used to define sarcopenia were based on the results of a previous study. Twenty-eight patients (14.4%) had sarcopenia, while the remaining 166 patients (85.6%) did not. A multivariate analysis suggested that sarcopenia was an independent risk factor for postoperative pulmonary complications (OR = 3.232, P = 0.026). The overall survival rate and the disease-free survival rate were both significantly worse in the sarcopenia group than in the nonsarcopenia group (P < 0.001). In a multivariate analysis, sarcopenia was an independent prognostic factor affecting overall survival (HR = 7.121, P < 0.001) and disease-free survival (HR = 6.000, P < 0.001). Patients with sarcopenia and lymph node metastasis (n = 18) had a worse outcome than the other patients (P < 0.001). This study suggests that the alleviation of sarcopenia through nutritional support and rehabilitation in SESCC patients scheduled to undergo surgery might help to prevent postoperative pulmonary complications and to improve the long-term outcome.

Abstract
Endoscopic resection for early esophageal cancer is a very precise endoscopic surgical technique and having experience in endoscopic resection is mandatory to perform these kinds of procedures safely. In case of adequate resection and favorable histological outcome, long-term prognosis of the patient is excellent. The basic principle for endoscopic treatment of early adenocarcinoma is based on the fact that the risk of lymph node metastasis gradually increases with the depth of invasion. Inspection and evaluation of all mucosal and submucosal lesions need to be done carefully before endoscopic resection. Endoscopic resection of mucosal (T1m1-3) and superficial submucosal (T1sm1) adenocarcinoma can be curative as well as for superficial mucosal (T1m1-m2) squamous cell carcinoma. In Paris type I lesions in Barrett's esophagus and for early squamous cell carcinoma endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is the preferred option. The risk of severe adverse events associated with endoscopic resection are low. Most adverse events are managed endoscopically and can be treated conservatively. Endoscopic radiofrequency ablation is the most widely used ablation technique for Barrett's epithelium and highly effective to achieve full remission of dysplasia and intestinal metaplasia. The role of radiofrequency ablation in the treatment armamentarium in squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus has still to be determined.

Abstract
Human evolutionary genetic divergence and distinctive environmental exposures have contributed to the development of clinicopathologic variations of esophageal cancer in Eastern and Western countries. Different treatment strategies have derived from the disparate regional experiences. Treatment strategy is more standardized in the West. Trimodality treatment with neoadjuvant chemoradiation followed by surgery is widely accepted as the standard treatment of locally advanced esophageal adenocarcinoma and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Trimodality treatment has not been adopted in many Eastern countries, and standard treatment is neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Several randomized trials are ongoing that may alter the standard management of esophageal cancer worldwide.

Abstract
Background The standard treatment for superficial esophageal cancer (SEC) involving muscularis mucosal (T1a-MM) or submucosal (T1b) invasion has been the surgical resection of the esophagus. However, esophagectomy with extended lymph node dissection is highly invasive. Recent reports have shown that endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) followed by chemoradiotherapy (CRT) has promising results and might become a new therapeutic approach. This retrospective study aimed to elucidate the efficacy and safety of this new treatment. Methods Patients with clinical stage T1b tumor without apparent metastasis treated with ESD followed by CRT from 2014 to 2017 (the CRT group) were included. The outcomes on disease-free survival (DFS) of this group were compared with those of consecutive patients in a historical control group who underwent ESD followed by esophagectomy (the esophagectomy group) between 2008 and 2015. Results Of 32 patients analyzed, 16 were in the CRT group and 16 with similar stage cancer were in the esophagectomy group. Radiotherapy was completed in all patients, and the incidence of grade ≥ 3 nonhematologic adverse events was 6%. The 2-year overall survival rates were 100%, and locoregional control was achieved in all patients in the CRT group, and the 2-year DFS rates were 88 and 100% for the CRT and esophagectomy groups, respectively, without significant differences. Conclusions Our data confirmed our new approach as being safe and effective for locoregional control and may provide a nonsurgical treatment option for patients with clinical stage T1b tumors.

Technical feasibility and oncologic safety of diagnostic endoscopic resection for superficial esophageal cancer. Gastrointest Endosc 2018; 88:456-465.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Active use of endoscopic resection (ER) for cM3-SM2 esophageal cancer may enable sufficient extent of esophageal resection and help determine the need for lymph node dissection based on histopathologic findings. However, ER preceding esophagectomy may have an adverse impact on outcomes. This study was designed to determine the technical feasibility and oncologic safety of diagnostic ER. METHODS A single-institution retrospective cohort study was performed between July 2008 and June 2014. During this period, 135 consecutive patients with clinical T1a-M3N0M0, T1b-SM1N0M0, and T1b-SM2N0M0 primary esophageal cancer were referred to our division. Eight patients who underwent chemoradiotherapy as primary treatment were excluded because of inadequate pathologic findings. Based on oncologic and physical factors, we categorized the remaining 127 patients into 2 groups: primary esophagectomy (n = 54) and primary ER (n = 73). RESULTS In all 127 patients, the 3-year overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) rates were 95.7% and 87.6%, respectively. No adverse event requiring surgical intervention was observed after ER. Diagnostic ER had no negative impact on surgical outcomes, DFS, and OS after esophagectomy. Fourteen patients (19.2%) of those who received primary ER underwent curative resection, whereas 11 (20.4%) who had pT1a disease, no lymphovascular invasion, and no pathologic lymph node metastasis underwent primary esophagectomy. CONCLUSIONS Diagnostic ER for cM3-SM2 esophageal cancer with or without subsequent esophagectomy was feasible and safe, not only from a surgical perspective but also an oncologic perspective. Approximately 20% of cM3-SM2N0M0 patients can potentially avoid undergoing additional treatment including esophagectomy using diagnostic ER.

Abstract
Background We performed a meta-analysis to compare the efficacy of definitive chemoradiotherapy (dCRT) and esophagectomy as initial treatments for potentially resectable esophageal cancer. Methods To assess both strategies, the combined odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. Thirteen studies (N = 2071; dCRT = 869 and surgery = 1202) were included. In all, 90.39% of the patients were diagnosed with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Results The 2-year (OR = 1.199, 95% CI 0.922–1.560; P = 0.177) and 5-year overall survival (OS) rates (OR = 0.947, 95% CI 0.628–1.429; P = 0.796) were not significantly different. No significant differences were identified in the 2-year OS among patients with stage I disease (OR = 1.397, 95% CI 0.740–2.638; P = 0.303) or stage II–III (OR = 0.418, 95% CI 0.022–7.833; P = 0.560). Patients with lymph node metastases tended to have a better 5-year OS when treated with dCRT than with surgery (OR = 0.226, 95% CI 0.044–1.169; P = 0.076); however, the difference between the two methods was not significant. Western patients who received dCRT had poorer prognoses than patients who underwent surgery (OR = 1.522, 95% CI 1.035–2.238; P = 0.033). dCRT and surgery led to similar 5-year progression-free survival rates (OR = 1.06, 95% CI 0.79–1.42; P = 0.70). Conclusions dCRT and surgery are equally effective as initial treatments for potentially resectable esophageal cancer. These results apply primarily to Asian populations as they have an increased incidence of ESCC.

Abstract
Several therapeutic options are available for clinical T1N0M0 thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (stage I ESCC); however, the studies on the treatment results are limited. This study assessed the outcomes of stage I ESCC treated with radiotherapy (RT), determined predictive factors, and evaluated the benefits of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) combined with RT. We retrospectively analyzed the data of 50 patients (41 men, 9 women; median age, 66 years) with stage I ESCC treated with RT. The median total irradiation dose was 50 Gy. Elective nodal irradiation (ENI) was performed in 17 patients and ESD in 29 patients (ESD group). Forty-six patients concurrently received chemotherapy with RT. The median tumor length of ESD and non-ESD groups was 2.3 and 5 cm, respectively. The median follow-up was 33 months. The 3-year overall survival, disease-free survival (DFS), and local control (LC) rates were 77.3%, 61.1%, and 88.1%, respectively. Grade 3 adverse events occurred in 14 patients. T stage and tumor length were significant prognostic factors for 3-year DFS and 3-year LC, respectively. ESD appeared to be an important prognostic factor for LC. ENI and total irradiation dose above 50.4 Gy were not predictive factors. Our findings might help in treatment decisions for stage I ESCC.

Long-term outcomes of combined endoscopic resection and chemoradiotherapy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma with submucosal invasion. Dig Liver Dis 2018; 50:833-838.

Abstract
BACKGROUND For esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) with submucosal (SM) invasion, surgery is the standard treatment. Definitive chemoradiotherapy (D-CRT) is a less invasive alternative option, but sometimes results in locoregional failure. AIM To examine whether endoscopic resection for primary lesion removal combined with chemoradiotherapy (ER-CRT) reduces locoregional failure rates in cases of ESCC with SM invasion. METHODS We retrospectively compared clinical outcomes between ER-CRT and D-CRT in patients diagnosed with ESCC with SM invasion between 2003 and 2014. Twenty-one patients underwent ER-CRT based on a pathological diagnosis, and 43 patients underwent D-CRT based on a clinical diagnosis. RESULTS Locoregional failure developed in 26% of patients in the D-CRT group, and in no patients in the ER-CRT group (p < 0.01). Thus, the 5-year relapse-free survival in the ER-CRT group was significantly more favorable than that in the D-CRT group (85.1% vs 59.2%; p < 0.05), although there was no difference in overall survival (85.1% vs 79.1%) nor in cause-specific survival (90.5% vs 87.2%) between the groups. There were no instances of perforation or hemorrhage associated with ER. CONCLUSION ER-CRT is a safe and effective treatment strategy and can be considered as a new minimally invasive treatment option for patients with ESCC with SM invasion.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We aimed to analyze the clinical and histological effects of chemotherapy in superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SESCC). METHODS We analyzed tumor samples from five patients with cT1bN1M0 who underwent subtotal esophagectomy following two courses of a new triplet chemotherapy regimen including docetaxel, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil (DCF). To assess the histological effects of chemotherapy, resected specimens were analyzed by macroscopic examination, hematoxylin & eosin (HE) staining, immunohistochemical (IHC) staining (p53, Ki-67 and cytokeratin) and periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining. RESULTS All five patients had a pathological T stage of T0/1a-LPM/1a-MM/1b (1/2/1/1) and histological grade of grade1a/1b/2/3 (1/1/2/1). Endoscopic examination revealed substantial shrinkage of lugol-voiding lesions (LVLs) in all cases. One case showed complete LVL disappearance, and resected specimen examination confirmed pathological complete response (pCR). IHC and PAS staining revealed that most initial LVLs were PAS-negative. Obvious viable cells were confirmed in two cases. The other three cases exhibited nuclear atypia and strong expression of p53 and Ki-67 in the basal layer of mucosa or lamina propria mucosae, even though the superficial layer of mucosa showed no obvious LVLs with PAS-positive. p53-positive lesions were also observed in Ki-67-positive. This indicated discordance between the endoscopic findings and histopathological evaluation. CONCLUSION DCF chemotherapy alone had a substantial therapeutic effect on SESCC in all cases. However, despite the normal appearance of the mucosal surface, viable cancer cells remained below the basal layer of mucosa. Careful attention should be paid when diagnosing clinical CR, or securing a resection margin of SESCC after DCF chemotherapy.

Long-Term Survival and Tumor Recurrence in Patients with Superficial Esophageal Cancer after Complete Non-Curative Endoscopic Resection: A Single-Center Case Series. Clin Endosc 2018; 51:470-477. [PMID: 29860747 PMCID: PMC6182292 DOI: 10.5946/ce.2018.025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2018] [Accepted: 04/25/2018] [Indexed: 01/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Background/Aims To report the long-term survival and tumor recurrence outcomes in patients with superficial esophageal cancer (SEC) after complete non-curative endoscopic resection (ER).
Methods We retrieved ER data for 24 patients with non-curatively resected SEC. Non-curative resection was defined as the presence of submucosal and/or lymphovascular invasion on ER pathology. Relevant clinical and tumor-specific parameters were reviewed.
Results The mean age of the 24 study patients was 66.3±8.3 years. Ten patients were closely followed up without treatment, while 14 received additional treatment. During a mean follow-up of 59.0±33.2 months, the 3- and 5-year survival rates of all cases were 90.7% and 77.6%, respectively. The 5-year overall survival rates were 72.9% in the close observation group and 82.1% in the additional treatment group (p=0.958). The 5-year cumulative incidences of all cases of recurrence (25.0% vs. 43.3%, p=0.388), primary EC recurrence (10.0% vs. 16.4%, p=0.558), and metachronous EC recurrence (16.7% vs. 26.7%, p=0.667) were similar between the two groups.
Conclusions Patients with non-curatively resected SEC showed good long-term survival outcomes. Given the similar oncologic outcomes, close observation may be an option with appropriate caution taken for patients who are medically unfit to receive additional therapy.

Asian J Surg 2018; 42:350-355. [PMID: 29802029 DOI: 10.1016/j.asjsur.2018.04.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2018] [Revised: 04/09/2018] [Accepted: 04/24/2018] [Indexed: 10/16/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND To compare overall survival in patients with clinical T1-3N0-1 thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma treated with surgery or definitive chemoradiation therapy (CRT). METHODS We used propensity-score matching to derive 1:1 cohorts of surgery versus definitive CRT. Statistical analysis was performed using χ2 or Fisher's exact tests. Survival functions were estimated using Kaplan-Meier survival plots, and survival distributions were compared using log-rank tests. Cox proportional hazards modeling was used to analyze the factors affecting overall survival. RESULTS A total of 334 patients treated with surgery and 252 treated with definitive CRT were included. 129 (38.6%) of 334 patients had recurrence after surgery versus 118 (46.8%) of 252 after definitive CRT. Before matching, the median overall survival were 39.5 months (95% CI, 28.8-50.2) and 23.5 months (95% CI, 18.5-28.5) (P < 0.001) in the surgery and definitive CRT group, respectively. After matching (112 patients in each treatment group), median overall survival was 43.6 months (95% CI, 28.1-59.1) with surgery versus 19.3 months (95% CI, 14.4-24.2) with CRT (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS In this retrospective analysis, surgery was associated with better overall survival compared with definitive CRT.
