Abstract
Upper gastrointestinal cancers are among the leading causes of cancer deaths worldwide with exceptionally poor prognosis, which is largely attributable to frequently delayed diagnosis. Although effective screening is critical for early detection, the highly variable incidence of upper gastrointestinal cancers presents challenges, rendering universal screening programs suboptimal in most populations globally. Optimal strategies in regions of modest incidence, such as the United States, require a targeted approach, focused on high-risk individuals based on demographic, familial, and clinicopathologic risk factors. Assessment of underlying precancerous lesions has key implications for risk stratification and informing clinical decisions to improve patient outcomes.

Purine salvage-associated metabolites as biomarkers for early diagnosis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: a diagnostic model-based study. Cell Death Discov 2024; 10:139. [PMID: 38485739 PMCID: PMC10940714 DOI: 10.1038/s41420-024-01896-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2023] [Revised: 02/23/2024] [Accepted: 02/27/2024] [Indexed: 03/18/2024] Open
Abstract
Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remains an important health concern in developing countries. Patients with advanced ESCC have a poor prognosis and survival rate, and achieving early diagnosis remains a challenge. Metabolic biomarkers are gradually gaining attention as early diagnostic biomarkers. Hence, this multicenter study comprehensively evaluated metabolism dysregulation in ESCC through an integrated research strategy to identify key metabolite biomarkers of ESCC. First, the metabolic profiles were examined in tissue and serum samples from the discovery cohort (n = 162; ESCC patients, n = 81; healthy volunteers, n = 81), and ESCC tissue-induced metabolite alterations were observed in the serum. Afterward, RNA sequencing of tissue samples (n = 46) was performed, followed by an integrated analysis of metabolomics and transcriptomics. The potential biomarkers for ESCC were further identified by censoring gene-metabolite regulatory networks. The diagnostic value of the identified biomarkers was validated in a validation cohort (n = 220), and the biological function was verified. A total of 457 dysregulated metabolites were identified in the serum, of which 36 were induced by tumor tissues. The integrated analyses revealed significant alterations in the purine salvage pathway, wherein the abundance of hypoxanthine/xanthine exhibited a positive correlation with HPRT1 expression and tumor size. A diagnostic model was developed using two purine salvage-associated metabolites. This model could accurately discriminate patients with ESCC from normal individuals, with an area under the curve (AUC) (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.680-0.843) of 0.765 in the external cohort. Hypoxanthine and HPRT1 exerted a synergistic effect in terms of promoting ESCC progression. These findings are anticipated to provide valuable support in developing novel diagnostic approaches for early ESCC and enhance our comprehension of the metabolic mechanisms underlying this disease.

[PMID: 38045191 PMCID: PMC10692814 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e22189] [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: 07/14/2023] [Revised: 11/01/2023] [Accepted: 11/06/2023] [Indexed: 12/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Endoscopic therapy is an optional strategy for the treatment of esophageal cancer (EC) under an early stage, especially stage T1a. However, its efficacy in the treatment of T1b EC has not been thoroughly assessed. We investigated the efficacy of esophagectomy, endoscopic therapy, as well as chemoradiotherapy in patients with T1bN0M0 EC. Methods The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (SEER) was employed to identify patients diagnosed with T1bN0M0 EC. Patient demographics were compared among the endoscopic therapy, esophagectomy, and chemoradiotherapy groups. Our study employed Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox regression model to evaluate patient outcomes and long-term survival rates. The overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) rates were compared among patients with EC who underwent endoscopic therapy or esophagectomy, employing propensity score matching (PSM). Results A total of 820 patients diagnosed with T1bN0M0 EC were identified. The number of patients who received endoscopic therapy, esophagectomy, and chemoradiotherapy was 173, 556, and 91, respectively. Patients subjected to endoscopic therapy and esophagectomy had greatly longer OS and CSS than those who underwent chemoradiotherapy. Patients treated with esophagectomy had longer OS than endoscopic therapy patients, but there were no differences in CSS between the two groups. PSM generated 153 patient pairs among T1bN0M0 patients, demonstrating that both the esophagectomy and endoscopic therapy groups exhibited comparable OS and CSS rates. Conclusion Endoscopic therapy and esophagectomy were associated with a significant survival advantage compared with chemoradiotherapy in patients with T1bN0M0 EC. In contrast, after PSM, among the EC patients with stage T1bN0M0, OS and CSS did not differ after endoscopic therapy or esophagectomy. These results indicate that endoscopic therapy could be a viable alternative to esophagectomy in patients diagnosed with T1bN0M0 EC.

Abstract
Esophageal cancer is a highly aggressive and deadly disease, ranking as the sixth leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Despite advances in treatment, the prognosis remains poor. A multidisciplinary approach is crucial for achieving complete remission, with treatment options varying based on disease stage. Surgical intervention and endoscopic treatment are used for localized cancer, while systemic treatments like chemoradiotherapy and targeted drug therapy play a crucial role. Molecular markers such as HER2 and EGFR can be targeted with drugs like trastuzumab and cetuximab, and immunotherapy drugs like pembrolizumab and nivolumab show promise by targeting immune checkpoint proteins. Epigenetic modifications offer new avenues for targeted therapy. Treatment selection depends on factors like stage, tumor location, and patient health, with post-operative and rehabilitation care being essential. Early diagnosis, appropriate treatment, and supportive care are key to improving outcomes. Continued research is needed to develop effective targeted drugs with minimal side effects. This review serves as a valuable resource for clinicians and researchers dedicated to enhancing esophageal cancer treatment outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chromoendoscopy is an effective method for early screening of esophageal cancer, but diagnosis can depend on subjective judgment. The study aimed to explore a new technique of pixelated chromoendoscopy in the diagnosis of early esophageal cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS The study included patients with symptoms of esophageal cancer who attended Jiangyin People's Hospital between January 2015 and July 2021. Chromoendoscopy was performed on each patient. The images then underwent digital analysis; the lesion area (the sensitive region) was pixelated by dividing it into the smallest image unit and the red, green, and blue color components. The diagnostic performance of pixelated chromoendoscopy was evaluated by calculating the area under the receiver operating characteristic. RESULTS The study finally enrolled 86 patients (aged 51.34 ± 5.82 y), including 54 males and 32 females. Pathologic diagnosis identified 54 cases in the cancer group and 32 cases in the non-cancer group. Traditional judgment had a diagnostic sensitivity of 70.73% and specificity was 75.00%. Pixelated chromoendoscopy sensitivity was 80.49%, and specificity was 83.33%. The area under the receiver operating characteristic was 0.814, at a cutoff value of 0.625, indicating a good prediction effect. CONCLUSIONS These results showed that pixelated chromoendoscopy might improve the rate of esophageal cancer diagnoses from early screening.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Esophageal cancer (EC) is one of the world's most unknown and deadly cancers. This study aimed to provide updated epidemiological indicators and the recent trend of EC by age group, gender, and geographical region in the world. METHODS Annual case data and age-standardized rates (ASRs) of epidemiological indicators of EC were collected from the 2019 Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study from 1990 to 2019 in 204 countries and territories based on the sociodemographic index (SDI). Relative difference (%), average annual percentage change (AAPC), and the male/female ratio were calculated. Data are reported in values and 95% confidence interval (CI). RESULTS EC age-standardized incidence rates (ASIR) decreased by 19%, age-standardized death rates (ASDR) decreased by 25%, and disability-adjusted life-years ASR (DALYs ASR) decreased by 30% from 1990 to 2019. The higher number of EC cases was in men aged 50 to 69 years and in women aged over 70. From 1990 to 2019, Middle SDI countries experienced a decline in the ASIR and ASDR of EC. The High SDI countries had an increasing ASDR trend. In World Bank High-Income countries, the ASIR of EC has remained unchanged and decreased in other regions. The Asia continent has the highest rate of incidence, mortality, and burden of EC and the highest rate of reduction. East Asia, Southern Sub-Saharan Africa, and Eastern Sub-Saharan Africa respectively have the highest ASIR of EC. Central Asia has experienced the greatest decrease in the ASIR and ASDR of EC, the countries of Central Europe had a steady ASIR and High-Income North America had an increasing trend in ASIR and ASDR. The burden of EC shows a decreasing trend worldwide. Central and East Asia regions have the highest rate and the highest increase in the burden of EC. CONCLUSION Based on great variation in the geographical distribution of epidemiological indicators of EC, investigating the reasons for this diversity requires more studies to be conducted in the field of prevention, distribution of risk factors, and implementation of screening methods with high cost-effectiveness, and access to treatment methods. The provision of regional solutions may be more effective than global strategies.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Gastrointestinal cancers are a critical global cancer burden, and tracking their trends would inform the health policies.
Methods
Trends of years of life lost (YLLs) and years lived with disability (YLDs) caused by three common gastrointestinal cancers were estimated using annual percentage change (EAPC) and age-standardized rate (ASR). Data was extracted from the Global Burden of Disease study 2019.
Results
The ASR per 100,000 population-year of YLLs caused by esophageal cancer, stomach cancer, and colorectal cancer were 137.98, 264.15, and 282.51 in 2019, respectively. Their overall trends of YLLs declined during 1990–2019, with the respective EAPCs being − 1.42 (95% Confidence Interval [CI]: − 1.71 to − 1.13), − 2.13 (95%CI: − 2.29 to − 1.96), and − 0.25 (95%CI: − 0.30 to − 0.19). Meanwhile, decreasing trends of YLDs caused by esophageal cancer and stomach cancer were observed, in which the EAPCs were − 0.67 (95%: − 0.94 to − 0.40) and − 0.85 (95%CI: − 0.97 to − 0.73), respectively. However, an increasing trend was seen in that of colorectal cancer (EAPC = 0.83, 95%CI: 0.77 to 0.89). Among countries, the largest decrease in trend of YLLs was that of stomacher cancer in the Republic of Korea (EAPC = − 5.88, 95%CI: − 6.07 to − 5.69). However, pronounced increasing trend of YLDs caused by colorectal cancer occurred in China (EAPC = 4.40, 95%CI: 4.07 to 4.72).
Conclusions
Decreasing trends in YLLs and YLDs caused by esophageal cancer, stomach cancer, and colorectal cancer were observed in most countries and regions, indicating that the great progress had been achieved over the past decades. However, the cancer burden was geographical heterogeneity, and cost-effective measures were still required to decline the burden caused by gastrointestinal cancers.

Abstract
Endoscopic resection or esophagectomy has becoming the standard treatment for superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinomas (SESCC), but some patients may develop disease progression or second primary cancers after the therapies. Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), lymphocyte to monocyte ratio (LMR), and platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) reflect the balance between pro-cancer inflammatory and anti-cancer immune responses, however their roles in SESCC are still unknown. We consecutively enrolled patients with newly diagnosed SESCC (clinical stage Tis or T1N0M0) who were treated at our institute. Pre-treatment NLR, LMR and PLR were assessed and then correlated with clinical factors and long-term survival. A total of 156 patients were enrolled (152 males, 4 females; median age: 52.2 years), of whom 104 received endoscopic resection and 52 were treated with esophagectomy or chemoradiation.. During a mean follow-up period of 60.1 months, seventeen patients died of ESCCs, and 45 died of second primary cancers. The 5-year ESCC-specific survival and 5-year overall survival rate were 86% and 57%, respectively. LMR (P < 0.05) and NLR (P < 0.05), but not PLR were significantly correlated with overall survival. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed optimal LMR and NLR cut-off values of 4 and 2.5, respectively, to predict a poor prognosis. Patients with a high NLR or low LMR tended to have longer tumor length, larger circumferential extension, and presence of second primary cancers. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that presence of second primary cancers (HR: 5.05, 95%CI: 2.75-9.28), low LMR (HR: 2.56, 95%CI: 1.09-6.03) were independent risk factors for poor survival. A low pre-treatment LMR may be a non-invasive pretreatment predictor of poor prognosis to guide the surveillance program, suggesting that anti-cancer immunity may play a role in the early events of esophageal squamous cancer.

Abstract
Cancer is a growing global health threat. Examining the determinants of cancer incidence can benefit for cancer treatment and prevention. Farmland transfer relates to the risk factors of esophageal cancer including environmental pollution, services access, and habits. This study characterizes the associations between farmland transfer and esophageal cancer incidence rate (ECI) that integrate mediated effect of pollution-related agricultural input intensity in Xiaoshan District, China. The state-space model is employed to quantify the relationships among farmland transfer, pollution-related agricultural input intensity, and ECI. The results showed that (1) Total effects of the proportion of transferred farmland (TFA) area cause a reduction in the ECI. Besides, the total positive effects of the proportion of transferred farmland cultivated non-grain crop (NGC) and proportion of farmland transferred to non-farmer users (NFU) show a downward trend. (2) The raise of TFA can result in the reduction of chemical fertilizer use intensity. Meanwhile, the raise of NGC and NFU can result in the growth of pollution-related agricultural input intensity. But these increasing effects generally show a downward trend. (3) Increasing chemical fertilizer use intensity and pesticide use intensity results in the rise of esophageal cancer incidence rate as a whole. (4) In general, farmland transfer has positive direct effects on esophageal cancer incidence rate. (5) The average proportions of mediated effects in all state-space models are larger than 10%. These findings can raise land reform policy designers' awareness of the risk of public health since the land transfer markets are emerging rapidly in land reform in many developing countries to improve agricultural production.

[PMID: 35646112 PMCID: PMC9132701 DOI: 10.1155/2022/5075615] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2022] [Accepted: 04/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Objective The mechanism of circRNA on M2 macrophage polarization, which contributes to esophageal cancer, remains unclear. This study is aimed at clarifying the mechanism of circRNA on esophageal cancer by regulating M2 macrophage polarization. Methods The expression of circRNA TCFL5 and miR-543 was detected by qRT-PCR. Western blot was used to detect the expression of FMNL2 and CD163. CCK-8 and transwell assay was used to detect the proliferation, migration, and invasion of Eca109 and KYSE150, respectively. Flow cytometry was used to detect the CD163 positive cells. The contents of IL-10, TGF-β, TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β were detected by ELISA. A dual-luciferase reporter system was used to detect the regulation of miR-543 to circRNA TCFL5 and FMNL2. Results 156 upregulated circRNAs and 91 downregulated circRNAs in esophageal cancer tissues were identified, and the expression of circRNA TCFL5 showed the most significant upregulation. Overexpression of circRNA TCFL5 promotes proliferation, invasion, and migration of Eca109 and KYSE150 and promotes tumor growth in vivo. circRNA TCFL5 served as a sponge of miR-543, and FMNL2 was a downstream target gene of miR-543. circRNA TCFL5 promotes cell proliferation, migration, and invasion of Eca109 and KYSE150 by modulating the miR-543/FMNL2 axis. Macrophage M2 polarization promoted proliferation, invasion, and migration of Eca109 and KYSE150 cells, and circRNA TCFL5 mediated macrophage M2 polarization by regulating the FMNL2/miR-543 axis. Conclusion In the present study, we identified that circRNA TCFL5 was dramatically upregulated in esophageal cancer, and circRNA TCFL5 promotes esophageal cancer progression by modulating M2 macrophage polarization via the miR-543-FMNL2 axis, which provides a potential target for the treatment of esophageal cancer.

Thorac Cancer 2022; 13:1117-1125. [PMID: 35238170 PMCID: PMC9013648 DOI: 10.1111/1759-7714.14366] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2022] [Revised: 02/09/2022] [Accepted: 02/10/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Epiplakin1 (EPPK1) has been associated with disease progression and unfavorable prognosis of many cancers, but its functional involvement in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remains to be uncovered. METHODS The Quantitative Real-time PCR (qPCR) assay was employed to determine the expression of EPPK1 in ESCC tissues and cells. CCK-8 assay, colony forming assay, wound healing assay, and transwell invasion assay were utilized to evaluate the effects of EPPK1 on cell proliferation, migration, and invasion capacity in ESCC cells using small interfering ribonucleic acids. Flow cytometry was performed to estimate the cell apoptotic rate caused by silencing of EPPK1. The proteins related to epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), apoptosis, and activation of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/serine threonine protein kinase 1 (PI3K/AKT) signaling pathway were measured by western blot. RESULTS The expression of EPPK1 was dramatically increased in ESCC tissues and cells compared to that in relative controls. Additionally, silencing of EPPK1 suppressed ESCC cell growth, colony formation, migration, invasion, and EMT, while promoting ESCC cell apoptosis. Furthermore, EPPK1 induced ESCC cell progression via mediating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. CONCLUSION EPPK1 promotes ESCC progression by modulating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and could serve as a potential target for ESCC treatment.

Abstract
Background Histone deacetylases (HDACs) have been identified to be implicated in the carcinogenesis and cancer progression. The present study was performed to probe into the effect of HDAC4 on radioresistance of esophageal carcinoma (EC). Methods The expression of HDAC4 in responders and non-responders to radiotherapy was characterized by RT-qPCR, immunohistochemistry, and Western blot analysis. EC cells were exposed to continuous fractionated X-ray irradiation, and their proliferation and apoptosis were evaluated by means of colony formation assay and flow cytometry based Annexin V-FITC/PI apoptosis assay in response to HDAC4 overexpression or silencing. Mechanistic investigation was conducted by means of in silico analysis and dual-luciferase reporter gene assay. Tumor xenografts derived from radioresistant EC cells were exposed to local X-ray irradiation in vivo for validation. Results High expression of HDAC4 was detected in either tumor tissues derived from radiotherapy responders or radioresistant EC cells. Loss of HDAC4 contributed to suppressed proliferation and enhanced apoptosis of radioresistant EC cells. Moreover, our findings revealed that HDAC4 conferred radioresistance of EC by downregulating microRNA-146a (miR-146a). Interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 1 (IRAK1) was a target of miR-146a, and its knockdown promoted radiosensitivity. Silencing of HDAC4 radiosensitized EC cells both in vitro and in vivo via the miR-146a/IRAK1 axis. Conclusion Hence, loss of HDAC4 upregulated miR-146a to limit radioresistance. This study aids in the better understanding about mechanism responsible for radioresistance of EC.

Abstract
Objective: The risk prediction model is an effective tool for risk stratification and is expected to play an important role in the early detection and prevention of esophageal cancer. This study sought to summarize the available evidence of esophageal cancer risk predictions models and provide references for their development, validation, and application. Methods: We searched PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases for original articles published in English up to October 22, 2021. Studies that developed or validated a risk prediction model of esophageal cancer and its precancerous lesions were included. Two reviewers independently extracted study characteristics including predictors, model performance and methodology, and assessed risk of bias and applicability with PROBAST (Prediction model Risk Of Bias Assessment Tool). Results: A total of 20 studies including 30 original models were identified. The median area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of risk prediction models was 0.78, ranging from 0.68 to 0.94. Age, smoking, body mass index, sex, upper gastrointestinal symptoms, and family history were the most commonly included predictors. None of the models were assessed as low risk of bias based on PROBST. The major methodological deficiencies were inappropriate date sources, inconsistent definition of predictors and outcomes, and the insufficient number of participants with the outcome. Conclusions: This study systematically reviewed available evidence on risk prediction models for esophageal cancer in general populations. The findings indicate a high risk of bias due to several methodological pitfalls in model development and validation, which limit their application in practice.

Abstract
Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a malignant tumor that commonly occurs worldwide. Usually, Asia, especially China, has a high incidence of esophageal cancer. ESCC often has a poor outcome because of a late diagnosis and lack of effective treatments. To build foundations for the early diagnosis and treatment of ESCC, we used the gene expression datasets GSE20347 and GSE17351 from the GEO database and a private dataset to uncover differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and key genes in ESCC. Notably, we found that replication factor C subunit 4 (RFC4) and guanine monophosphate synthase (GMPS) were upregulated but have been rarely studied in ESCC. In particular, to the best of our knowledge, our study is the first to explore GMPS and ESCC. Furthermore, we found that high levels of RFC4 and GMPS expression may result from an increase in DNA copy number alterations. Furthermore, RFC4 and GMPS were both upregulated in the early stage and early nodal metastases of esophageal carcinoma. The expression of RFC4 was strongly correlated with GMPS. In addition, we explored the relationship between RFC4 and GMPS expression and tumor-infiltrating immune cells (TILs) in esophageal carcinoma. The results showed that the levels of RFC4 and GMPS increased with a decrease in some tumor-infiltrating cells. Upregulated RFC4 and GMPS with high TILs indicate a worse prognosis. In summary, our study shows that RFC4 and GMPS have potential as biomarkers for the early diagnosis of ESCC and may played a crucial role in the process of tumor immunity in ESCC.

Identification of Key Genes and Pathways Associated With Paclitaxel Resistance in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Based on Bioinformatics Analysis. Front Genet 2021; 12:671639. [PMID: 34456964 PMCID: PMC8386171 DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2021.671639] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2021] [Accepted: 07/02/2021] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) ranks as the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death in China. Although paclitaxel has been shown to be effective in treating ESCC, the prolonged use of this chemical will lead to paclitaxel resistance. In order to uncover genes and pathways driving paclitaxel resistance in the progression of ESCC, bioinformatics analyses were performed based on The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database including GSE86099 and GSE161533. Differential expression analysis was performed in TCGA data and two GEO datasets to obtain differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Based on GSE161533, weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was conducted to identify the key modules associated with ESCC tumor status. The DEGs common to the two GEO datasets and the genes in the key modules were intersected to obtain the paclitaxel resistance-specific or non-paclitaxel resistance-specific genes, which were subjected to subsequent least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) feature selection, whereby paclitaxel resistance-specific or non-paclitaxel resistance-specific key genes were selected. Ten machine learning models were used to validate the biological significance of these key genes; the potential therapeutic drugs for paclitaxel resistance-specific genes were also predicted. As a result, we identified 24 paclitaxel resistance-specific genes and 18 non-paclitaxel resistance-specific genes. The ESCC machine classifiers based on the key genes achieved a relatively high AUC value in the cross-validation and in an independent test set, GSE164158. A total of 207 drugs (such as bevacizumab) were predicted to be alternative therapeutics for ESCC patients with paclitaxel resistance. These results might shed light on the in-depth research of paclitaxel resistance in the context of ESCC progression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS In China, regional organized esophageal cancer screening programs have been implemented since 2005. However, the implementation of these screening programs is still facing some urgent challenges, especially concerning identifying high-risk individuals. This study aimed to evaluate the risk stratification potential of the current initial assessment strategy used in a mass esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) screening program in China. METHODS A total of 43,875 participants without a previous cancer history enrolled in a mass ESCC screening program in China from 2007 to 2010 who had initial assessment results were included in this study and were followed until December 31, 2015. Eight potential risk factors for ESCC were evaluated in the initial assessment strategy. A comprehensive evaluation of the association of the initial assessment results with ESCC risk was performed by propensity score matching and Cox regression analysis. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 5.5 years, 272 individuals developed ESCC. The high-risk population assessed at baseline had a higher risk of ESCC than the non-high-risk population, with a hazard ratio (HR) of 3.11 (95% confidence interval (CI), 2.33-4.14) after adjustment for sex, age, education level, income level, and body mass index. In addition, the initial assessment results of the high-risk population were significantly associated with the risk of all esophageal cancers (HR, 3.30; 95% CI, 2.51-4.33) and upper gastrointestinal cancers (HR, 3.03; 95% CI, 2.43-3.76). CONCLUSIONS The initial screening tool in a mass ESCC screening program in China, consisting of 8 accessible variables in epidemiologic surveys, could be helpful for the selection of asymptomatic individuals for priority ESCC screening.

Abstract
Transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) plays an important role in tumor initiation and development by inducing epithelial-mesenchymal Transition (EMT). Metastasis-Associated Lung Adenocarcinoma Transcript 1 (MALAT1) is a long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) that contributes to the invasion and metastasis of tumors, including esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The aim of the present study was to explore the underlying mechanisms implicated in EMT and to clarify whether TGF-β1 regulates MALAT1 expression, thereby promoting the invasion of ESCC. Expression of TGF-β1, MALAT1 and EMT-related markers, including E-cadherin and Vimentin, was detected in clinical samples of Kazakh's ESCC. The role of TGF-β1 in the regulation of MALAT1 in ESCC invasion was evaluated at the ESCC cell line level. High TGF-β1 expression was significantly associated with poor survival among patients with Kazakh's ESCC. Additionally, the expression of Vimentin was upregulated, and the expression of E-cadherin was downregulated and varied. The expression of MALAT1 positively correlated with the expression of TGF-β1 both in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, knockdown of MALAT1 inhibited TGF-β1-induced EMT. Our data indicate that MALAT1 is heavily involved in EMT induced by TGF-β1. MALAT1 may be a therapeutic target in the suppression of metastasis and invasion of ESCC.

Abstract
Background Esophageal cancer is among the leading cancer types in Inner Mongolia. This study aimed to investigate the incidence and mortality rates of esophageal cancer in 2015 and the trends in these rates in the 2010–2015 period in this region. Methods National Colorectal Cancer Roundtable (NCCR) screening methods and criteria were used to extract data from 10 cancer registries stratified by area (urban/rural), sex, and age group. The Chinese standard population in 2000 and Segi's world population were used to calculate age‐standardized rates. The annual percentage change (APC) in these rates was calculated using the Joinpoint Regression Program. Results In 2015, Inner Mongolia had 4324 new cases (4027 male vs. 297 female patients) and 3559 deaths (3300 male vs. 259 female patients) from esophageal cancer. The crude incidence, age‐standardized incidence by Chinese population, age‐standardized incidence by world population, and cumulative incidence were 13.45/100 000, 9.92/100 000, 10.18/100 000, and 1.30%, respectively. The corresponding figures for mortality were 11.32/100 000, 8.35/100 000, 8.53/100 000, and 1.04%. The incidence and mortality increased with age between 40 and 80 years. The rates in rural dwellers, especially men, showed negative APC (−13.25% vs. −11.08%; P < 0.05). Conclusions The incidence and mortality rates of esophageal cancer in Inner Mongolia increased between 2010 and 2015. The rates were higher in men in rural areas, middle‐aged and elderly individuals. Prevention and control programs focused on these groups, in addition to early diagnosis and treatment of esophageal cancer, are needed to reduce these rates. Key points Significant findings of the study: In Inner Mongolia, incidence and mortality rates of esophageal cancer were higher in urban areas than in rural areas and in men than in women between 2010 and 2015, and in middle‐aged and elderly than in younger people. What this study adds: Prevention and control programs, in addition to early diagnosis and treatment of esophageal cancer, should be tailored to specifically target men in rural areas and middle‐aged and elderly individuals in order to reduce the incidence and mortality rates of this pathology.

Abstract
Esophageal cancer (EC) is the sixth most deadly cancer, and its incidence is still increasing year by year. Although the researches on the molecular mechanisms of EC have been widely carried out and incremental progress has been made, its overall survival rate is still low. There is cumulative evidence showing that the esophageal microenvironment plays a vital role in the development of EC. In precancerous lesions of the esophagus, high-risk environmental factors can promote the development of precancerous lesions by inducing the production of inflammatory factors and the recruitment of immune cells. In the tumor microenvironment, tumor-promoting cells can inhibit anti-tumor immunity and promote tumor progression through a variety of pathways, such as bone marrow-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), tumor-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), and regulatory T cells (Tregs). The formation of extracellular hypoxia and acidic microenvironment and the change of extracellular matrix stiffness are also important factors affecting tumor progression and metastasis. Simultaneously, primary tumor-derived cytokines and bone marrow-derived immune cells can also promote the formation of pre-metastasis niche of EC lymph nodes, which are beneficial to EC lymph node metastasis. Further research on the specific mechanism of these processes in the occurrence, development, and metastasis of each EC subtype will support us to grasp the overall pre-cancerous prevention, targeted treatment, and metastatic assessment of EC.

Abstract
Esophageal cancer represents the eighth most frequently occurring cancer, as well as the sixth most widespread cause of cancer-related deaths. In recent years, accumulating evidence has implicated long non-coding RNAs in the progression of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The aim of the present study was to investigate the potential involvement and underlying mechanisms of LINC00337 in ESCC. Expression patterns of LINC00337 and targeting protein for Xenopus kinesin-like protein 2 (TPX2) in ESCC tissues and cells were detected using RT-qPCR and immunohistochemical staining. Next, the interactions among LINC00337, E2F4, and TPX2 were identified using chromatin immunoprecipitation, dual-luciferase reporter, and RNA-binding protein immunoprecipitation assays, suggesting that LINC00337 could recruit E2F4 to enhance the transcription of TPX2. Thereafter, the regulatory roles of LINC00337 and TPX2 in ESCC were analyzed by altering the expression of LINC00337 or TPX2 in ESCC cells following treatment with cisplatin (DDP). The levels of autophagy-related proteins Beclin1 and LC3II/LC3I, viability, autophagy, apoptosis, and chemoresistance of ESCC cells to DDP were measured following transfection treatment with different plasmids. Additionally, the role of the LINC00337/E2F4/TPX2 axis was assessed in vivo by measuring tumor formation in nude mice. The results demonstrated that LINC00337 upregulated TPX2, consequently leading to elevated levels of Beclin1 and LC3II/LC3I, promoted cell viability and autophagy, while inhibiting apoptosis and chemosensitivity to DDP in ESCC. In sum, the current study evidenced that the overexpression of LINC00337 could potentially enhance ESCC cell autophagy and chemoresistance to DDP via the upregulation of TPX2 by recruiting E2F4. Thus, LINC00337 may serve as a potential candidate for the treatment of ESCC.

Abstract
Barrett's esophagus has 0.5% to 7% risk of progression to esophageal adenocarcinoma. The method of obtaining biopsies to diagnose Barrett's is challenging. Seattle protocol has been considered as the gold standard, however its difficulty limits its applicability in practice. Narrow band imaging guided biopsy has been proposed as an alternative.To investigate the accuracy, sensitivity, specificity and applicability of Narrow band guided biopsy as a screening tool for Barret's esophagus in gastroesophageal reflux patients.Endoscopy was done in 2 different sessions 2 weeks apart for 100 patients in Alexandria, Egypt. Patients had at least one of the following: Chronic Gastroesophageal reflux disease, frequent Gastroesophageal reflux disease, or two or more risk factors for Barrett's esophagus. All patients with known Barrett's esophagus were excluded.Seventeen patients had Barrett's esophagus either by one of the two techniques or by both, 4 patients by both methods, 7 patients by narrow band imaging alone and 6 patients by Seattle protocol alone (P < .001, κ = 0.461). Sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value and positive predictive value for Seattle protocol were 58.8%, 100%, 92.2%, 100% vs 76.5%, 100%, 95.4%, 100% respectively for narrow band imaging. A mean of 7.73 samples/patient was taken in Seattle protocol vs 3.42 samples in narrow band imaging (P < .001). A mean of 8.63 minutes was consumed in Seattle protocol vs 2.65 minutes in narrow band imaging (P < .001).Narrow band imaging guided biopsy might have higher accuracy, sensitivity and negative predictive value as well as fewer number of biopsies and shorter time of the procedure compared to Seattle protocol which might increases its applicability as screening protocol for Barrett's esophagus. However, further larger multicentric studies are needed.

Abstract
The cornerstone of curative care for esophageal cancer is neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by esophagectomy with a radical lymphadenectomy. An esophagectomy is a major and complex surgical procedure and is often followed by postoperative morbidity, especially pulmonary complications. These complications may lead to an increase in hospital stay, intensive care unit admission rate and mortality. Therefore, perioperative strategies to reduce these complications have been investigated and implemented in clinical practice. In this review we highlight the influence of minimally invasive surgery, postoperative pain management, early identification of complications and the usage of uniform definitions on (pulmonary) complications after esophagectomy. Finally, we will discuss some future perspectives.

Ther Adv Med Oncol 2019; 11:1758835919838958.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Genome-wide sequencing investigations have identified numerous long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) among mammals, many of which exhibit aberrant expression in cancers, including esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Herein, this study elucidates the role and mechanism by which LINC01419 regulates the DNA methylation of glutathione S-transferase pi 1 (GSTP1) in relation to ESCC progression and the sensitivity of ESCC cells to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). METHODS LINC01419 and GSTP1 levels were quantified among 38 paired ESCC and adjacent tissue samples collected from patients with ESCC. To ascertain the contributory role of LINC01419 in the progression of ESCC and identify the interaction between LINC01419 and GSTP1 promoter methylation, LINC01419 was overexpressed or silenced, and the DNA methyltransferase inhibitor 5-Aza-CdR was treated. RESULTS Data from the GEO database (GSE21362) and the Cancer Genome Atlas displayed elevated levels of LINC01419 and downregulated levels of GSTP1 in the ESCC tissues and cells. The silencing of LINC01419 led to decreased proliferation, increased apoptosis, and enhanced sensitivity to 5-FU in ESCC cells. Notably, LINC01419 could bind to the promoter region of the GSTP1 gene, resulting in elevated GSTP1 methylation and reduced GSTP1 levels via the recruitment of DNA methyltransferase among ESCC cells, whereby ESCC progression was stimulated accompanied by reduced ESCC cell sensitivity to 5-FU. GSTP1 demethylation by 5-Aza-CdR was observed to reverse the effects of LINC01419 overexpression in ESCC cells and the response to 5-FU. CONCLUSION Highly expressed LINC01419 in ESCC promotes GSTP1 methylation, which ultimately acts to promote the event of ESCC and diminish the sensitivity of ESCC cells to 5-FU, highlighting a novel potential strategy to improve 5-FU-based chemotherapy in ESCC.

Abstract
Extent of mediastinal lymphadenectomy during esophagectomy is clearly different between two representative countries of the Eastern and Western world, such as Japan and the Netherlands. In Japan, a clear policy is the standard complete two- or three-field type of lymphadenectomy whereas, in the Netherlands, a limited form is usually carried out. Reasons for these differences can be found in the different types of tumor, 80% of adenocarcinomas in the West and almost 95% of squamous cell cancer in Japan. Moreover, location of the tumors, distally located in the Netherlands whereas, in Japan, the majority are located in the middle and proximal thoracic esophagus. Also, type of neoadjuvant therapy, namely chemoradiotherapy in the Netherlands, and chemotherapy in Japan, are different. Arguments for more extended mediastinal lymphadenectomy are currently challenged in the West, first by the systematic use of chemoradiotherapy as neoadjuvant therapy and, second, the retrospective analysis of large data. According to two studies, the importance of extended lymphadenectomy is shown to be relative and less clear, especially in esophageal adenocarcinomas after neoadjuvant therapy. International efforts such as the TIGER study will help to standardize and find a relationship between the type and location of esophageal cancer, use of neoadjuvant therapy, extent of lymphadenectomy and survival.
