ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Salvage endoscopic therapy, including endoscopic resection (ER) and photodynamic therapy (PDT), is effective for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in local failure after chemoradiotherapy (CRT). Resection with pathologically vertical margin-negative (VM0) for ER and local complete response (L-CR) for PDT are important surrogate prognostic markers for each therapy's efficacy. We aimed to evaluate the usefulness of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) in predicting the efficacy of salvage endoscopic therapy in local failure after CRT for ESCC.METHODS:
We included patients who underwent EUS followed by ER or PDT for local failure after CRT or radiotherapy for ESCC from 2006 to 2020. We evaluated EUS findings associated with VM0 resection for ER and L-CR for PDT, which included the status of the outermost part of the submucosal layer, tumor thickness, and tumor invasion length into the muscularis propria (MP) layer.RESULTS:
Thirty and 47 patients were enrolled into the ER and PDT groups, respectively. The VM0 resection rate in the ER group was 87% (26/30). The EUS findings associated with VM0 resection were tumor thickness < 2.3 mm (p = 0.01) and preserved hyperechoic line of the outermost part of the submucosa layer (p < 0.01). The L-CR rate in the PDT group was 69% (32/47). The EUS findings associated with L-CR were tumor thickness < 5.0 mm (p < 0.01) and tumor invasion length into the MP layer < 1.6 mm (p = 0.03).CONCLUSIONS:
EUS can be useful in predicting the efficacy of salvage endoscopic treatment for local failure after CRT for ESCC.Palavras-chave
