ABSTRACT
This study investigated whether neoadjuvant therapies, such as neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NCRT), neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT), and neoadjuvant radiotherapy (NRT), would affect the incidence of anastomotic leakage (AL) after esophageal cancer surgery. Published randomized controlled trials were reviewed, and the incidence of AL after esophageal cancer was statistically analyzed in each study. Meta-analysis was performed using Revman and Stata software. A total of 17 randomized controlled trials with 2874 patients were reviewed showing that, in general, preoperative neoadjuvant therapies were not significant risk factors for AL after esophageal cancer surgery (relative risk [RR] = 0.82, 95% CI = 0.64-1.04). NCRT and NRT did not significantly increase the risk of postoperative AL in patients with esophageal cancer (RR = 0.81, 95% CI = 0.63-1.05; RR = 0.64, 95% CI = 0.14-2.97, respectively). Moreover, NCT has no significant correlation with the occurrence of AL (RR = 1.01, 95% CI = 0.57-1.80). NCRT, NCT, and NRT do not significantly increase the incidence of gastroesophageal AL after esophageal cancer surgery.
