RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Chemotherapy and chemoradiation have become essential adjuncts to improve the survival of patients with resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in the perioperative period. Although preoperative treatment plus surgery is commonly used, controversy remains regarding the optimal treatment strategy for patients with locally advanced ESCC. METHODS: A retrospective review of clinical stage II and III ESCC patients who underwent esophagectomy at Henan Cancer Hospital between October 2014 and October 2017 was performed. The patients were divided into a neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) group and an adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) group. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to exclude confounders. Survival was estimated using Kaplan‒Meier analysis and compared by the log-rank test. The Cox proportional hazards regression model was used for both the univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS: A total of 684 patients were enrolled, including 365 (53.4%) patients in the NAC group. After PSM, 294 pairs of patients were left. NAC prolonged the OS (not reached versus 57.3 months, P = 0.002) and DFS (57.2 vs. 36.4 months, P = 0.010) and decreased the total rate of recurrence (50.1% vs. 59.2%, P = 0.025) and local recurrence (27.9% vs. 36.7%, P = 0.022) compared with AC. The multivariable analyses showed that NAC plus surgery modality was an independent predictor for improved OS (HR: 0.582, 95% CI: 0.467-0.786, P = 0.001). CONCLUSION: NAC plus surgery prolonged OS and DFS, and significantly decreased the total rate of recurrence compared with surgery plus AC in patients with clinical stage II and III ESCC.

RESUMO

This study was completed to evaluate the relationship between tumor length and the prognosis of patients with pathological stage IA-IC esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). Patients were identified from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program database (United States, 2006-2015). X-tile software and ROC analysis were mainly used to explore the best threshold of tumor length for dividing patients into different groups, and then propensity score matching (PSM) was used to balance other variables between groups. The primary outcome assessed was overall survival (OS). A total of 762 patients were identified, and 500 patients were left after PSM. Twenty millimeters were used as the threshold of tumor length. Patients with longer tumor lengths showed worse OS (median: 93 vs. 128 months; P = 0.006). Multivariable Cox regression analysis showed that longer tumor length was an independent risk factor (hazard ratio 1.512, 95% confidence interval, 1.158-1.974, P = 0.002). Tumor length has an impact on patients with pathological stage IA-IC EAC who undergo surgery alone. The prognostic value of the pathological stage group may be improved after combining it with tumor length and age.

RESUMO

Importance: Adjuvant and neoadjuvant immunotherapy have improved clinical outcomes for patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the optimal combination of checkpoint inhibition with chemotherapy remains unknown. Objective: To determine whether toripalimab in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy will improve event-free survival and major pathological response in patients with stage II or III resectable NSCLC compared with chemotherapy alone. Design, Setting, and Participants: This randomized clinical trial enrolled patients with stage II or III resectable NSCLC (without EGFR or ALK alterations for nonsquamous NSCLC) from March 12, 2020, to June 19, 2023, at 50 participating hospitals in China. The data cutoff date for this interim analysis was November 30, 2022. Interventions: Patients were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive 240 mg of toripalimab or placebo once every 3 weeks combined with platinum-based chemotherapy for 3 cycles before surgery and 1 cycle after surgery, followed by toripalimab only (240 mg) or placebo once every 3 weeks for up to 13 cycles. Main Outcomes and Measures: The primary outcomes were event-free survival (assessed by the investigators) and the major pathological response rate (assessed by blinded, independent pathological review). The secondary outcomes included the pathological complete response rate (assessed by blinded, independent pathological review) and adverse events. Results: Of the 501 patients randomized, 404 had stage III NSCLC (202 in the toripalimab + chemotherapy group and 202 in the placebo + chemotherapy group) and 97 had stage II NSCLC and were excluded from this interim analysis. The median age was 62 years (IQR, 56-65 years), 92% of patients were male, and the median follow-up was 18.3 months (IQR, 12.7-22.5 months). For the primary outcome of event-free survival, the median length was not estimable (95% CI, 24.4 months-not estimable) in the toripalimab group compared with 15.1 months (95% CI, 10.6-21.9 months) in the placebo group (hazard ratio, 0.40 [95% CI, 0.28-0.57], P < .001). The major pathological response rate (another primary outcome) was 48.5% (95% CI, 41.4%-55.6%) in the toripalimab group compared with 8.4% (95% CI, 5.0%-13.1%) in the placebo group (between-group difference, 40.2% [95% CI, 32.2%-48.1%], P < .001). The pathological complete response rate (secondary outcome) was 24.8% (95% CI, 19.0%-31.3%) in the toripalimab group compared with 1.0% (95% CI, 0.1%-3.5%) in the placebo group (between-group difference, 23.7% [95% CI, 17.6%-29.8%]). The incidence of immune-related adverse events occurred more frequently in the toripalimab group. No unexpected treatment-related toxic effects were identified. The incidence of grade 3 or higher adverse events, fatal adverse events, and adverse events leading to discontinuation of treatment were comparable between the groups. Conclusions and Relevance: The addition of toripalimab to perioperative chemotherapy led to a significant improvement in event-free survival for patients with resectable stage III NSCLC and this treatment strategy had a manageable safety profile.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of early oral feeding (EOF) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (nCT) combined with "non-tube no fasting"-enhanced recovery after minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE). METHODS: This retrospective study investigated patients who underwent nCT combined with non-tube no fasting-enhanced recovery after MIE in the Department of Thoracic Surgery, Ward I, of the authors' hospital from January 2014 to August 2017. These patients were divided into an early oral feeding (EOF) group (n = 112) and a late oral feeding (LOF) group (n = 69). The postoperative complications were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: The study enrolled 181 patients (112 patients in the EOF group and 69 patients in the LOF group). No significant differences were found between the two groups in the incidence rates of complications such as anastomotic leakage (P = 0.961), pneumonia (P = 0.450), respiratory failure (P = 0.944), heart failure (P = 1.000), acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) (P = 0.856), and unplanned reoperation (P = 0.440), whereas the time to the first postoperative flatus/bowel movement (P < 0.001) and the postoperative length of stay (P < 0.001) were significantly better in the EOF group than in the LOF group.. CONCLUSIONS: In this study, EOF after nCT combined with non-tube no fasting-enhanced recovery after MIE did not significantly increase complications, but significantly shortened the time to the first postoperative flatus/bowel movement and the postoperative length of stay.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The purpose of this retrospective study was to define the pattern of lymph nodal metastases in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT) followed by esophagectomy and to evaluate its influence on prognosis. METHODS: A total of 398 patients with clinical stage T3N0 or T1-3N+ ESCC who underwent NCT and radical esophagectomy with two-field lymphadenectomy were included. The distribution and frequency of metastases were counted separately for each lymph node station. The ypN stage, number of positive lymph node stations and lymph node stations with a metastasis rate greater than 5% were analyzed by using univariate Cox regression, followed by separate multivariable Cox regression analyses after adjusting for various clinical factors. RESULTS: Lymph node metastases were most frequently observed in the right upper paratracheal (16.8%) and left gastric artery (13.1%) stations. Multivariable models controlling for clinical factors showed that ypN stage remained a significant independent predictor of survival (N1 vs. N0: hazard ratio [HR], 2.30, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.38-3.83, P < 0.001; N2 vs. N0: HR, 3.76, 95% CI 2.21-6.38, P < 0.001; N3 vs. N0: HR, 7.14, 95% CI 3.78-13.48, P < 0.001). The model from the multivariable analysis with the highest c-index score, indicating superior discriminatory preference, was ypN stage (c-index, 0.72). CONCLUSIONS: The pattern and influence of lymph node metastases after NCT will provide guidance on the extent of lymphadenectomy. Common positive lymph node stations for thoracic ESCC after NCT include the paratracheal, subcarinal, paraesophageal, paracardial, and left gastric artery stations.

RESUMO

No adjuvant treatment has been established for patients who remain at high risk of recurrence and incidental pathologic lymph node metastasis for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). In this open-label, multicenter, phase III, randomized controlled trial, ESCC patients who did not achieve pathologic complete response after neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus surgery and clinical T1-2 N0 patients with incidental pathologic lymph node metastasis following initial surgery were randomized at a 2:1 ratio to receive either a sintilimab regimen or observational management (NCT05495152). The primary end point was disease-free survival for all randomized patients. The results of this randomized controlled trial addressed controversy regarding the survival benefits of adjuvant sintilimab treatment for patients with resected locally advanced ESCC. Clinical Trial Registration: NCT05495152 (ClinicalTrials.gov).

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Difference of the short diameter of lymph nodes in the main regions of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and its value in the diagnosis of lymph nodes need to explore. METHODS: The clinical data of patients with thoracic ESCC who underwent surgical treatment in our hospital were collected. The short diameters of the largest lymph node in each region of the patient were measured by preoperative enhanced computed tomography (CT) and were compared with the postoperative pathology. RESULTS: A total of 477 patients with thoracic ESCC who did not receive neoadjuvant therapy were enrolled in this study. The receiver operating characteristic curve suggested that the short diameters of the paracardial nodes, the left gastric nodes, the right recurrent laryngeal nerve nodes, and the left recurrent laryngeal nerve nodes could well predict the postoperative pathology of the lymph nodes, with area under curve (AUC) of 0.958, 0.937, 0.931, and 0.915, the corresponding cut-off values of 5.7 mm, 5.7 mm, 5.5 mm, and 4.8 mm, the corresponding sensitivities of 94.7%, 85.4%, 88.7%, and 79.4%, and the corresponding specificities of 93.7%, 96.3%, 86.2%, and 95.0%, respectively. The AUC of the thoracic paraesophageal lymph nodes, the subcarinal nodes and all regional lymph nodes were 0.845, 0.688, and 0.776, respectively. CONCLUSION: Region-based criterion for lymph node metastasis of thoracic ESCC is beneficial to improve the diagnostic efficiency of preoperative CT.

RESUMO

This study aimed to investigate the survival impact of the number of lymph nodes dissection (LND) in patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT) for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). We retrospectively analyzed the clinical pathological data and survival of 407 ESCC patients who underwent esophagectomy after NCT between January 2015 and December 2016. The relationship between the number of LNDs and 5-year overall survival (OS) or disease-free survival (DFS) was plotted by using restricted cubic spline analysis. A Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to identify prognostic factors of OS and DFS. We observed an obvious non-linear relationship between LND and the hazard ratios (HRs) for OS (P = 0.0015) and DFS (P < 0.001) of all the patients. In the multivariate analysis of OS and DFS, the number of LNDs (greater than 28 and less than 46) had a significant protective effect on survival (OS: HR: 0.61, 95% CI: 0.42-0.88, P = 0.007; DFS: HR: 0.50, 95% CI: 0.36-0.70, P < 0.001). For patients with nodal metastases, it was also an independent prognostic factor for OS (HR, 0.56, 95% CI, 0.35-0.90, P = 0.017) and DFS (HR, 0.42, 95% CI, 0.28-0.65, P < 0.001). Some degree of lymphadenectomy after NCT was beneficial in improving 5-year OS and DFS for ESCC patients with nodal metastases. For patients with nodal negativity, more extended lymphadenectomy did not improve patient survival.

RESUMO

Previous studies have reported that exosomes bearing certain microRNAs (miRNAs) are related to the physiological functions of different types of cancer cells. Our study aimed to elucidate the role of miR-200a in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). We observed that miR-200a expression is higher in esophageal carcinoma cells, tissues, and exosomes than in normal cells and healthy tissues. We showed that exosome-shuttled miR-200a promotes the proliferation, migration, and invasion of esophageal cells and inhibits apoptosis, thereby leading to the progression of ESCC. We showed that miR-200a exerts its effects through its interaction with Keap1, thus altering the Keap1/Nrf2 signaling pathway. Our results suggest that exosome-shuttled miR-200a might be useful as a biomarker for prognosis in patients with ESCC.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To develop a quantitative Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (qRECIST) for evaluating response to neoadjuvant therapy (nT) in ESCCs relying on multiparametric (mp) MRI. METHODS: Patients with cT2-T4a/N0-N3/M0 ESCC undergoing pre-nT and post-nT esophageal mpMRI before radical resection were prospectively included. Images were reviewed by two experienced radiologists. qRECIST was redefined using four methods including conventional criterion (cRECIST) and three model-dependent RECIST relying on quantitative MRI measurements at pre-nT, post-nT, and delta pre-post nT, respectively. Pathological tumor regression grades (TRGs) were used as a reference standard. The rates of agreement between four qRECIST methods and TRGs were determined with a Cronbach's alpha test, area under the curve (AUC), and a diagnostic odds ratio meta-analysis. RESULTS: Ninety-one patients were enrolled. All four methods revealed high inter-reader agreements between the two radiologists, with a Kappa coefficient of 0.96, 0.87, 0.88, and 0.97 for cRECIST, pre-nT RECIST, post-nT RECIST, and delta RECIST, respectively. Among them, delta RECIST achieved the highest overall agreement rate (67.0% [61/91]) with TRGs, followed by post-nT RECIST (63.8% [58/91]), cRECIST (61.5% [56/91]), and pre-nT RECIST (36.3% [33/91]). Especially, delta RECIST achieved the highest accuracy (97.8% [89/91]) in distinguishing responders from non-responders, with 97.3% (34/35) for responders and 98.2% (55/56) for non-responders. Post-nT RECIST achieved the highest accuracy (93.4% [85/91]) in distinguishing complete responders from non-pCRs, with 77.8% (11/18) for pCRs and 94.5% (69/73) for non-pCRs. CONCLUSION: The qRECIST with mpMRI can assess treatment-induced changes and may be used for early prediction of response to nT in ESCC patients. KEY POINTS: • Quantitative mpMRI can reliably assess tumor response, and delta RECIST model had the best performance in evaluating response to nT in ESCCs, with an AUC of 0.98, 0.95, 0.80, and 0.82 for predicting TRG0, TRG1, TRG2, and TRG3, respectively. • In distinguishing responders from non-responders, the rate of agreement between delta RECIST and pathology was 97.3% (34/35) for responders and 98.2% (55/56) for non-responders, resulting in an overall agreement rate of 97.8% (89/91). • In distinguishing pCRs from non-pCR, the rate of agreement between MRI and pathology was 77.8% (11/18) for pCRs and 94.5% (69/73) for non- pCRs, resulting in an overall agreement rate of 91.2% (83/91).

RESUMO

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are known to regulate tumorigenesis. In this study, circRNAs microarray was used to analyze the circRNA expression in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) tissues, and CircRNA zinc finger MYM-type containing 4(circZMYM4) was selected for further analysis. In this study, we detected circZMYM4 expression in LUAD specimens and cell lines using RT-PCR. The expression of circZMYM4 was further verified in the GEO datasets and TCGA datasets. Gain-of-function and loss-of-function experiments were used to analyze the effects of circZMYM4 on LUAD in vivo and in vitro. The relationship between miR-587 and circZMYM4 or ODAM was predicted by bioinformatics tools and confirmed using dual-luciferase reporter assays and RNA-pull down. We found that circZMYM4 was distinctly down-regulated in LUAD tissues and cell lines. Functional assays revealed that circZMYM4 overexpression suppressed LUAD cell proliferation, metastasis and suppressed apoptosis, while miR-587 overexpression could weaken these effects. Importantly, circZMYM4 upregulated ODAM expression via sponging miR-587 to suppress LUAD progression. ODAM knockdown could reverse the repressive effect of circZMYM4 overexpression on cell proliferation, migration and invasion abilities. Overall, circZMYM4 regulates the miR-587/ODAM axis to suppress LUAD progression, which may become a potential biomarker and therapeutic target.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: McKeown minimally invasive esophagectomy (McKeown-MIE) offers advantages in short-term outcomes compared with McKeown open esophagectomy (McKeown-OE); however, debate as to whether MIE is equivalent or better than OE regarding survival outcomes is ongoing. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare long-term survival between McKeown-MIE and McKeown-OE in a large cohort of esophageal cancer (EC) patients. METHODS: We used a prospective database (independently managed by LinkDoc company) of the Thoracic Surgery Department at Henan Cancer Hospital and included patients who underwent McKeown-MIE and McKeown-OE for EC from 1 January 2015 to 6 January 2018. The perioperative data and overall survival (OS) rate in the two groups were retrospectively compared. RESULTS: We included 502 patients who underwent McKeown-MIE (n = 306) or McKeown-OE (n = 196) for EC. The median age in the total patient population was 63 years. All baseline characteristics were well-balanced between the two groups. There was a significantly shorter mean operative time (269.76 min vs. 321.14 min, p < 0.001) in the OE group. The 30-day and in-hospital mortality rates were 0, and there was no difference in 90-day mortality (p = 0.053) between the groups. The postoperative stay was shorter in the MIE group and was 14 days and 18 days in the MIE and OE groups, respectively (p < 0.001). The OS at 60 months was 58.8% and 41.6% in the MIE and OE groups, respectively (p < 0.001) [hazard ratio 1.783, 95% confidence interval 1.347-2.359]. CONCLUSIONS: These results showed that McKeown-MIE was associated with better long-term survival than McKeown-OE for patients with resectable EC.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer deaths across the world. Early detection of lung cancer by low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) can reduce the mortality rate. However, making a definitive preoperative diagnosis of malignant pulmonary nodules (PNs) found by LDCT is a clinical challenge. This study aimed to develop a prediction model based on DNA methylation biomarkers and radiological characteristics for identifying malignant pulmonary nodules from benign PNs. METHODS: We assessed three DNA methylation biomarkers (PTGER4, RASSF1A, and SHOX2) and clinically-relevant variables in a training cohort of 110 individuals with PNs. Four machine-learning-based prediction models were established and compared, including the K-nearest neighbors (KNN), random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM), and logistic regression (LR) algorithms. Variables of the best-performing algorithm (LR) were selected through stepwise use of Akaike's information criterion (AIC). The constructed prediction model was compared with the methylation biomarkers and the Mayo Clinic model using the non-parametric approach of DeLong et al. with the area under a receiver operator characteristic curve (AUC) analysis. RESULTS: A prediction model was finally constructed based on three DNA methylation biomarkers and one radiological characteristic for identifying malignant from benign PNs. The developed prediction model achieved an AUC value of 0.951 in malignant PNs diagnosis, significantly higher than the three DNA methylation biomarkers (0.912, 95% CI:0.843-0.958, p = 0.013) or Mayo Clinic model (0.823, 95% CI:0.739-0.890, p = 0.001). Validation of the prediction model in the testing cohort of 100 subjects with PNs confirmed the diagnostic value. CONCLUSION: We have shown that integrating DNA methylation biomarkers and radiological characteristics could more accurately identify lung cancer in subjects with CT-found PNs. The prediction model developed in our study may provide clinical utility in combination with LDCT to improve the over-all diagnosis of lung cancer.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Neoadjuvant therapy plus oesophagectomy has been accepted as the standard treatment for patients with potentially curable locally advanced oesophageal cancer. No completed randomized controlled trial (RCT) has directly compared neoadjuvant chemotherapy and neoadjuvant chemoradiation in patients with oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The aim of the current RCT is to investigate the impact of neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus surgery and neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy plus surgery on overall survival for patients with resectable locally advanced ESCC. METHODS: This open label, single-centre, phase III RCT randomized patients (cT2-T4aN + M0 and cT3-4aN0M0) in a 1:1 fashion to receive either the CROSS regimen (paclitaxel 50 mg/m2; carboplatin (area under the curve = 2), q1w, 5 cycles; and concurrent radiotherapy, 41.4 Gy/23 F, over 5 weeks) or neoadjuvant chemotherapy (paclitaxel 175 mg/m2; and cisplatin 75 mg/m2, q21d, 2 cycles). Assuming a 12% 5-year overall survival difference in favour of the CROSS regimen, 80% power with a two-sided alpha level of 0.05 and a 5% dropout each year for an estimated 3 years enrolment, the power calculation requires 456 patients to be recruited (228 in each group). The primary endpoint is 5-year overall survival, with a minimum 5-year follow-up. The secondary endpoints include 5-year disease-free survival, toxicity, pathological complete response rate, postoperative complications, postoperative mortality and quality of life. A biobank of pre-treatment and resected tumour tissue will be built for translational research in the future. DISCUSSION: This RCT directly compares a neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimen with a standard CROSS regimen in terms of overall survival for patients with locally advanced ESCC. The results of this RCT will provide an answer for the controversy regarding the survival benefits between the two treatment strategies. TRIAL REGISTRATION: NCT04138212, date of registration: October 24, 2019.
