Abstract:
Objective Esophageal spindle cell carcinoma is a rare type of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma , which was usually named esophageal carcinosarcoma .This article was to discuss the clinical characteristics , treatment and prognostic factors of e-sophageal spindle cell carcinoma . Methods The clinical and pathological data of 28 cases of esophageal spindle cell carcinoma were retrospectively analyzed .The prognostic factors was analyzed for various factors including gender , age, smoking history , tumor loca-tion, tumor size, lymph node metastasis, histological type, pathological staging and adjuvant treatment regimen .Kaplan-Meier method was applied to calculate the survival rate , log rank method for single prognostic factor analysis and Cox proportional hazard regression model for multivariate analysis of prognosis . Results One-year, three-year, and five-year survival rates were 89.3%(25/28), 67.1%(19/28), 38.5%(10/28)respectively.Single factor analysis showed that the pathological type , N stage, T stage, pTNM stage were the factors influencing the prognosis(P﹤0.05), while gender, age, smoking and drinking history, tumor location, tumor size, operation incision selection , adjuvant treatment regimen were not .Multivariate analysis showed pTNM stage were the independent fac-tors affecting the prognosis of esophageal spindle cell carcinoma (χ2 =13.104, P=0.000). Conclusion Esophageal spindle cell carcinoma is a rare kind of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma with less invasiveness , low rate of lymph node metastasis and good progno-sis.Radical operation is the preferred treatment .
