Abstract
BACKGROUND Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an extremely malignant subtype of lung cancer because of its high potential for metastases. Cardiac invasion of SCLC is a serious concern that may lead to systemic embolism or tract obstruction. It has aroused much concern that cardiovascular comorbidities may significantly affect the survival of SCLC patients and their treatment decisions. METHODS We consecutively recruited 772 small cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients between January 2011 and December 2018 from 4 cancer specialty hospitals in China. Only newly diagnosed primary cancer inpatients were included. Univariable and multivariable adjusted Cox proportional hazard models were conducted to evaluate the risk factors associated with mortality. Hazard ratios (HRs) for mortality and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were calculated. RESULTS The prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) was 34.6% in all SCLC patients. Log-rank analysis presented statistically significant differences in median survival time (MST) between patients with CVD and without CVD in all SCLC patients (9.0 months vs. 15.0 months, P = 0.005) and patients with chemotherapy only (12.0 months vs. 18.0 months, P = 0.048). Pericardial effusion (HR 1.671, 95% CI 1.082-2.580, P = 0.021) and heart failure (HR 1.752, 95% CI 1.290-2.379, P < 0.001) were independent risk factors associated with mortality in all SCLC patients. VTE is related to poorer prognosis in patients with chemotherapy only (HR 5.558, 95% CI 1.335-23.135, P = 0.018) and chemoradiotherapy (HR 3.057, 95% CI 1.270-7.539, P = 0.013). CONCLUSIONS Comprehensive management of CVD comorbidities is of vital importance for the long-term prognosis of SCLC patients.

Zheng ZQ, Sun XZ. Marital Status Is a Prognostic Factor for Cardiovascular Mortality but Not a Prognostic Factor for Cancer Mortality in Siewert Type II Adenocarcinoma of the Esophagogastric Junction. Gastroenterology Res 2023; 16:307-317. [PMID: 38186587 PMCID: PMC10769607 DOI: 10.14740/gr1670] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2023] [Accepted: 11/10/2023] [Indexed: 01/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Background The impact of marital status on the prognosis of patients with Siewert type II adenocarcinoma of the esophagogatric junction (AEG) remained unclear. This study aimed to investigate the associations of marital status with cancer-specific death risk and cardiovascular death risk in Siewert type II AEG patients. Methods Data for Siewert type II AEG patients were obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database from 2010 to 2015. A 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM) was applied to reduce inter-group bias between the married and unmarried groups. Kaplan-Meier analysis, a competing risk model and the Fine-Gray multivariable regression model were used to identify the prognostic value of marital status. Results In total, 1,623 subjects were included. After PSM, according to Fine-Gray multivariable regression analysis, there was no significant difference in the cumulative cancer-specific death rate between the married and the unmarried groups (hazard ratio (HR): 1.160, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.994 - 1.354, P = 0.060). Patients in unmarried group had a higher cardiovascular death rate than patients in married group (HR: 3.066, 95% CI: 1.372 - 6.850, P = 0.006). Conclusions Our study demonstrates that unmarried Siewert type II AEG patients are associated with higher cardiovascular death risk but not cancer-specific death risk compared with married patients.
