The predictors of lymphopenia and its effects on survival in locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
To investigate the impact of the effective radiation dose to immune cells (EDIC) and gross tumor volume (GTV) on lymphopenia and survival in patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (LAESCC). Between January 2013 and December 2020, 272 LAESCC patients were treated with definitive radiotherapy in two institutions. Based on radiation doses to the lungs, heart, and body region scanned, EDIC was calculated as an equal uniform dose to the total blood considering blood flow and fraction effect. The radiotherapy plan was used to calculate the GTVs. Lymphopenia was graded based on the lowest lymphocyte count during RT. The overall survival (OS), progress-free survival (PFS), and local recurrence-free survival (LRFS) were analyzed statistically. The lowest lymphocyte count was significantly correlated with EDIC (r= -0.389, p < .001) and GTV (r= -0.211, p < .001). Lymphopenia, EDIC, and GTV are risk factors for patients with ESCC. In a Kaplan-Meier analysis with EDIC and GTV as stratification factors, lymphopenia was not associated with OS in the EDIC>12.9 Gy group (p = .294)and EDIC ≤ 12.9 Gy group, and it was also not associated with OS in GTV>68.8 cm3 group (p = .242) and GTV ≤ 68.8 cm3 group(p = .165). GTV and EDIC had an impact on the relationship between lymphopenia and OS in patients with LAESCC undergoing definitive RT. Poorer OS, PFS, and LRFS are correlated with lymphopenia, higher EDIC, and larger GTV.
期刊介绍:
Cancer, the second leading cause of death, is a heterogenous group of over 100 diseases. Cancer is characterized by disordered and deregulated cellular and stromal proliferation accompanied by reduced cell death with the ability to survive under stresses of nutrient and growth factor deprivation, hypoxia, and loss of cell-to-cell contacts. At the molecular level, cancer is a genetic disease that develops due to the accumulation of mutations over time in somatic cells. The phenotype includes genomic instability and chromosomal aneuploidy that allows for acceleration of genetic change. Malignant transformation and tumor progression of any cell requires immortalization, loss of checkpoint control, deregulation of growth, and survival. A tremendous amount has been learned about the numerous cellular and molecular genetic changes and the host-tumor interactions that accompany tumor development and progression. It is the goal of the field of Molecular Oncology to use this knowledge to understand cancer pathogenesis and drug action, as well as to develop more effective diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for cancer. This includes preventative strategies as well as approaches to treat metastases. With the availability of the human genome sequence and genomic and proteomic approaches, a wealth of tools and resources are generating even more information. The challenge will be to make biological sense out of the information, to develop appropriate models and hypotheses and to translate information for the clinicians and the benefit of their patients. Cancer Biology & Therapy aims to publish original research on the molecular basis of cancer, including articles with translational relevance to diagnosis or therapy. We will include timely reviews covering the broad scope of the journal. The journal will also publish op-ed pieces and meeting reports of interest. The goal is to foster communication and rapid exchange of information through timely publication of important results using traditional as well as electronic formats. The journal and the outstanding Editorial Board will strive to maintain the highest standards for excellence in all activities to generate a valuable resource.
