ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The American Society of Anesthesiologists-Physical Status (ASA-PS) classification system has been shown to predict morbidity and mortality after surgery. However, the impact of the ASA-PS on esophageal cancer treatment remains unclear. This study examined both the impact of the ASA-PS on treatment, including surgery and perioperative chemotherapy, and the prognostic effects of ASA-PS class in patients who had undergone esophagectomy for thoracic esophageal cancer or esophagogastric junction cancer.METHODS:
ASA-PS status was collected for 301 patients who had undergone esophagectomy between January 2007 and June 2016 for thoracic esophageal cancer or esophagogastric junction cancer at a single institution. As the ASA-PS was updated in 2014, the previous classifications of all patients were reevaluated using the updated standard by a surgeon with the previous classifications masked. The dose intensity of preoperative chemotherapy was also compared across classes. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to analyze the association between ASA-PS class and overall survival.RESULTS:
Patients whose reevaluations had placed them in a more severe ASA-PS class showed significantly poorer overall and cancer-specific survival rates. The dose intensities of cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil for preoperative chemotherapy were significantly lower in patients in the more severe ASA-PS classes. Multivariate analysis showed that ASA-PS class was an independent prognostic factor for overall survival.CONCLUSION:
Preoperative ASA-PS classification may influence the intensity of perioperative treatment and may be a valuable long-term prognostic factor for patients with esophageal cancer undergoing esophagectomy.Palavras-chave
