Abstract
Objective: To clarify the impact of the preoperative time intervals on short-term postoperative and pathological outcomes in esophageal cancer patients who underwent neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) followed by esophagectomy.
Summary background data: The impact of preoperative intervals on esophageal cancer patients who received multimodality treatment remains unknown.
Methods: Patients(cT1-4aN0-3M0) treated with nCRT plus esophagectomy were included using the Dutch national DUCA-database. Multivariate logistic regression was used to determine the effect of different time intervals upon short-term postoperative and pathological outcomes: diagnosis-to-nCRT intervals (≤5, 5-8 and 8-12 wk), nCRT-to-surgery intervals (5-11, 11-17 and >17 wk) and total preoperative intervals (≤16, 16-25 and >25 wk).
Results: Between 2010-2021, a total of 5052 patients were included. Compared to diagnosis-to-nCRT interval ≤5 weeks, the interval 8-12 weeks was associated with higher risk of overall complications (P=0.049). Compared to nCRT-to-surgery interval 5-11 weeks, the longer intervals (11-17 wk and >17 wk) were associated with higher risk of overall complications (P-value=0.016; P-value<0.001) and anastomotic leakage (P-value=0.004; P-value=0.030), but the interval >17 weeks was associated with lower risk of ypN+ (P-value=0.021). The longer total preoperative intervals were not associated with the risk of 30-day mortality and complications compared to the interval ≤16 weeks, but the longer total preoperative interval (>25 wk) was associated with higher ypT stage (P-value=0.010) and lower pCR rate (P-value=0.013).
Conclusion: In patients with esophageal cancer undergoing nCRT and esophagectomy, prolonged preoperative time intervals may lead to higher morbidity and disease progression, and the causal relationship requires further confirmation.
