ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The rate of metachronous recurrence after endoscopic submucosal dissection for early-stage esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and hypopharynx squamous cell carcinoma is as high (10-15%). The acetaldehyde breath test may detect acetaldehyde dehydrogenase 2 gene polymorphisms. Therefore, we evaluated its usefulness in assessing metachronous recurrence in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and hypopharynx squamous cell carcinoma.METHODS:
A total of 76 patients underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and hypopharynx squamous cell carcinoma and were followed up for at least 3 years (non-recurrence group 52 patients; recurrence group 24 patients). The risk factors for carcinogenesis were compared between the recurrence and non-recurrence groups, and the acetaldehyde-to-ethanol ratio was assessed. The cutoff acetaldehyde-to-ethanol ratio that correlated with recurrence was established, and the cumulative recurrence rate was evaluated.RESULTS:
The recurrence group had a higher acetaldehyde-to-ethanol ratio, daily alcohol consumption, and Lugol-voiding lesion grade than the non-recurrence group in the univariate analysis. The cutoff acetaldehyde-to-ethanol ratio for recurrence was 28.1 based on the receiver operating characteristic curve. The multivariate analysis revealed an acetaldehyde-to-ethanol ratio of > 28.1 and a Lugol-voiding lesion grade associated with carcinogenesis. Patients with an acetaldehyde-to-ethanol ratio of ≥ 28.1 had a significantly high recurrence rate using the Kaplan-Meier method.CONCLUSIONS:
The acetaldehyde-to-ethanol ratio detected using the acetaldehyde breath test could be a novel biomarker of metachronous recurrence after endoscopic submucosal dissection in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and hypopharynx squamous cell carcinoma.
