Abstract
Background. esophageal cancer (ec) is one of the most aggressive malignancies of the gastrointestinal tract. chemoradiation therapy is the standard of care for locally advanced ec.The purpose of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of chemoradiation therapy given alone and in combination with surgery in patients with thoracic esophageal cancer.Material and Methods. From January 1, 2012 to december 31, 2021, a total of 940 patients with thoracic esophageal cancer were registered in the regional cancer registry, of which 178 patients were selected for concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT) at clinical stages I–III. thirty seven thoracic esophageal cancer patients who received CRT and required treatment interruption due to complications were not included in our analysis. The final analysis included 141 patients.Results. 37 (20.7 %) patients were unable to complete treatment due to intolerance and the development of severe complications of CRT. Hematological toxicity of grade 3-4 was noted in 21 patients (14.8 %). Non-hematological complications of grade 2-4 were noted in 109 patients (77.3 %). The 5-year relapse-free survival rates in patients undergoing and non-undergoing to surgery were 23.0 and 25.0 %, respectively (p=0.018). Overall 5-year survival rates were 24 and 27 %, respectively (p=0.020). The rate of pathological complete response (pcR) was 43.5 % (in 20 of 46 patients who underwent surgery after CRT). The median survival time in patients with clinical complete response (ccR) was 24.0 months and the median survival time in patients with pcR was 29.0 months. The 3-year survival rates were 21 and 45 %, respectively (p=0.050).Conclusion. The combination of chemoradiotherapy and surgery in patients with thoracic esophageal cancer demonstrated an increase in overall survival in our study. if there is a complete clinical response to CRT and contraindications for surgery or the patient’s refusal to undergo surgery, it is advisable to use the “wait & watch” tactic.
期刊介绍:
The main objectives of the journal are: -to promote the establishment of Russia’s leading worldwide positions in the field of experimental and clinical oncology- to create the international discussion platform intended to cover all aspects of basic and clinical cancer research, including carcinogenesis, molecular biology, epidemiology, cancer prevention, diagnosis and multimodality treatment (surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormone therapy), anesthetic management, medical and social rehabilitation, palliative care as well as the improvement of life quality of cancer patients- to encourage promising young scientists to be actively involved in cancer research programs- to provide a platform for researches and doctors all over the world to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in cancer related problems. (to create a communication platform for the expansion of cooperation between Russian and foreign professional associations).- to provide the information about the latest worldwide achievements in different fields of oncology The most important tasks of the journal are: -to encourage scientists to publish their research results- to offer a forum for active discussion on topics of major interest - to invite the most prominent Russian and foreign authors to share their latest research findings with cancer research community- to promote the exchange of research information, clinical experience, current trends and the recent developments in the field of oncology as well as to review interesting cases encountered by colleagues all over the world- to expand the editorial board and reviewers with the involvement of well-known Russian and foreign experts- to provide open access to full text articles- to include the journal into the international database- to increase the journal’s impact factor- to promote the journal to the International and Russian markets
