Abstract

Importance: The role of prophylactic percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube placement in head and neck cancer (HNC) patients treated with chemoradiation remains controversial and varies by center.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of prophylactic PEG tube placement in patients undergoing chemoradiation for HNC PEG tube use for more than 6 months and weight loss.

Design, setting, and participants: This single-institution retrospective study included 502 patients with head and neck cancer.

Exposures: Concurrent Chemoradiation (CCRT) and prophylactic PEG tube placement.

Main outcomes and measures: Univariate analyses were performed to determine risk factors for long term PEG tube and weight loss. Outcomes that were significantly associated with prophylactic PEG were selected for a multivariate analysis. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate survival and the time to PEG removal, with comparisons between groups analyzed by log-rank tests. The global health status score from the EORTC QLQ30 was utilized to assess impact on quality of life.

Results: Significantly higher weight loss was seen with the following variables: 1) omitting prophylactic PEG tube (p < 0.00001), 2) younger age (p = 0.0032), and 3) adjuvant CCRT (p = 0.0005). There was significantly higher risk of feeding tube duration longer than 6 months in those who: received prophylactic PEG tube (p < 0.0001) and were older than the median age of 60.8 years (p = 0.0165) on multivariate analysis. Prophylactic PEG tube was not associated with improved global health status, overall survival, or progression-free survival on univariate analysis.

Conclusions and relevance: Prophylactic feeding tubes significantly decreased weight loss during treatment. Prophylactic PEG tube and older than median age was significantly associated with higher risk of feeding tube duration longer than 6 months.
