Abstract

Objective: Immunotherapy-based regimens (IMT) versus cytotoxic chemotherapy (CHT) improved overall survival (OS) of patients with unresectable or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (mESCC), but the role of prognostic variables is unclear. The study aims to explore the interaction of prognostic factors with survival after IMT or CHT.

Methods: A systematic review was performed to select trials comparing IMT and CHT regimens in mESCC patients. A meta-analysis of upfront IMT + CHT vs. CHT trials evaluated the overall effect size and heterogeneity between studies. In view of the expected differences between chemotherapy and immunotherapy on the survival curve, to better explore the effect of any prognostic variables on OS, before and after progression, the treatment arms were evaluated as independent cohorts, and ten baseline variables were extracted and assessed by linear regression.

Results: Fourteen trials were identified. Seven studies compared upfront CHT + IMT vs. CHT documenting longer OS for CHT + IMT (HR 0.69, CI 0.65-0.72), without heterogeneity (Q = 1.43, p value = 0.968) or differences in the most represented subgroups. Twenty-nine study cohorts were selected from the 14 trials. Median OS and PPS, but not PFS, were significantly increased after IMT compared with CHT. The analysis of baseline variables after CHT documented a favorable prognostic effect for advanced age (β = 0.768, p value = 0.016), involvement of 0-1 metastasis sites (β = 0.943, p value = 0.005), and absence of previous radiation therapy (β =  - 0.939, p value = 0.006), while none of them influenced prognosis after IMT.

Conclusion: The introduction of upfront IMT prolonged mESCC patients OS, mostly improving the outcomes of young patients, with multiple metastasis sites and without previous radiotherapy.

接受免疫疗法与化疗方案治疗的无法切除或转移性食管鳞状细胞癌患者的疗效和预后因素:系统回顾与汇总分析》。
研究目的基于免疫疗法的方案(IMT)与细胞毒性化疗(CHT)相比,可提高不可切除或转移性食管鳞状细胞癌(mESCC)患者的总生存率(OS),但预后变量的作用尚不明确。本研究旨在探讨IMT或CHT术后预后因素与生存率之间的相互作用:方法:进行了一项系统性回顾,选择了对mESCC患者进行IMT和CHT方案比较的试验。对前期 IMT + CHT 与 CHT 试验的荟萃分析评估了研究间的总体效应大小和异质性。考虑到化疗和免疫疗法在生存曲线上的预期差异,为了更好地探讨任何预后变量在进展前后对OS的影响,将治疗组作为独立队列进行评估,并提取10个基线变量,通过线性回归进行评估:结果:共确定了 14 项试验。七项研究比较了前期CHT + IMT与CHT,结果显示CHT + IMT的OS更长(HR 0.69,CI 0.65-0.72),无异质性(Q = 1.43,P值 = 0.968),最有代表性的亚组也无差异。从 14 项试验中选出了 29 个研究队列。与CHT相比,IMT后的中位OS和PPS显著增加,但PFS没有增加。对CHT后基线变量的分析表明,高龄(β=0.768,P值=0.016)、0-1个转移部位受累(β=0.943,P值=0.005)和既往未接受放疗(β=-0.939,P值=0.006)对预后有有利影响,而这些因素都不会影响IMT后的预后:结论:前期IMT可延长mESCC患者的OS,主要改善年轻患者、多转移部位患者和既往未接受过放疗患者的预后。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Gastrointestinal Cancer is a multidisciplinary medium for the publication of novel research pertaining to cancers arising from the gastrointestinal tract.The journal is dedicated to the most rapid publication possible.The journal publishes papers in all relevant fields, emphasizing those studies that are helpful in understanding and treating cancers affecting the esophagus, stomach, liver, gallbladder and biliary tree, pancreas, small bowel, large bowel, rectum, and anus. In addition, the Journal of Gastrointestinal Cancer publishes basic and translational scientific information from studies providing insight into the etiology and progression of cancers affecting these organs. New insights are provided from diverse areas of research such as studies exploring pre-neoplastic states, risk factors, epidemiology, genetics, preclinical therapeutics, surgery, radiation therapy, novel medical therapeutics, clinical trials, and outcome studies.In addition to reports of original clinical and experimental studies, the journal also publishes: case reports, state-of-the-art reviews on topics of immediate interest or importance; invited articles analyzing particular areas of pancreatic research and knowledge; perspectives in which critical evaluation and conflicting opinions about current topics may be expressed; meeting highlights that summarize important points presented at recent meetings; abstracts of symposia and conferences; book reviews; hypotheses; Letters to the Editors; and other items of special interest, including:Complex Cases in GI Oncology:  This is a new initiative to provide a forum to review and discuss the history and management of complex and involved gastrointestinal oncology cases. The format will be similar to a teaching case conference where a case vignette is presented and is followed by a series of questions and discussion points. A brief reference list supporting the points made in discussion would be expected.
