ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The aim of this study was to compare the prognostic predictive power of the 11th Japan Esophageal Society (JES) staging system with the 8th edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system in patients with thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (TESCC), and to estimate the survival benefits of postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) based on a substage of the JES staging system.METHODS:
Area under the curve (AUC) values of the receiver operating characteristic curve were calculated to evaluate prognostic efficacy. Propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was conducted to balance the two groups (surgery only [S group] or surgery plus PORT [S+RT group]) across substages of the 11th JES staging system according to independent prognostic factors for overall survival (OS) identified using Cox proportional hazards regression.RESULTS:
A total of 2960 patients were eligible. The 5-year OS AUC for the 8th AJCC staging system was significantly higher than that for the 11th JES staging system (0.701 vs. 0.675, p < 0.001). Before PSM, PORT significantly improved 5-year OS rates for patients in stage III and IVA by 9.1% (p < 0.001) and 21.1% (p < 0.001), respectively. After PSM, the 5-year OS rates in stage II, III, and IVA of the S+RT group were significantly higher than those in the S group (70.9%, 39.7%, and 35.1% vs. 57.8%, 27.2%, and 10.3%, respectively; p < 0.001).CONCLUSION:
The 11th JES staging system was less capable of predicting prognosis than the 8th AJCC staging system and patients in stage III of the JES staging system were highly recommended to undergo PORT.
