Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of modified endoscopic submucosal multi-tunnel dissection (ESMTD) for superficial circumferential esophageal cancer with an axial length of more than 8 cm.Methods:Data of 79 patients with superficial circumferential esophageal cancer with lesion length of more than 8 cm who were treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2018 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into modified ESMTD group (32 cases) and surgery group (47 cases) according to the treatment. The en bloc resection rate, complete resection rate, operation time, hospitalization time, medical expenses, incidence of procedure-related complications of the two groups were compared.Results:The en bloc resection rate in the modified ESMTD group and the surgery group were both 100.0% ( χ2=0.000, P=1.000), and the complete resection rate were 96.9% (31/32) and 97.9% (46/47) ( χ2=0.000, P=1.000), respectively. The operation time in the modified ESMTD group was shorter than that in the surgery group (150.5±17.2 min VS 185.8±15.2 min, t=9.527, P<0.001). The incidence of delayed bleeding [3.1% (1/32) VS 10.6% (5/47), χ2=0.648, P=0.421] and delayed perforation [3.1% (1/32) VS 4.3% (2/47), χ2=0.000, P=1.000] in the two groups were not statistically different. Postoperative C-reactive protein (64.3±6.9 mg/L VS 89.2±7.4 mg/L, t=15.634, P<0.001) and neutrophil levels [(10.1±1.4)×10 9/L VS (13.1±1.2)×10 9/L, t=15.083, P<0.001] were lower in the modified ESMTD group than those in the surgery group. The hospital stay of the modified ESMTD group was shorter than that of the other group (9.2±1.2 d VS 11.5±1.2 d, t=8.363, P<0.001), and the medical expense was less than that of the surgery group (32±3 thousand yuan VS 59±6 thousand yuan, t=26.384, P<0.001). Conclusion:Compared with traditional surgery, modified ESMTD for the treatment of superficial circumferential esophageal cancer with an axial length >8 cm has definite curative effect, safety, short hospital stay, and low medical costs, and can preserve the integrity of the esophagus and improve the quality of life of patients. It has good clinical application value.
