Objective:To explore the benefit groups of patients with locoregional recurrence of esophageal thoracic squamous cell carcinoma who received radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy with different patterns of irradiation.Methods:Clinical data of 344 esophageal thoracic squamous cell carcinoma patients with postoperative recurrence who received intensity conformal radiotherapy or concurrent chemoradiotherapy in the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University from 2009 to 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. The distribution of recurrence sites and prognostic factors were analyzed. A stratified analysis was carried out on the benefit groups of patients receiving the elective nodal irradiation (ENI) and involved field irradiation (IFI).Results:276 cases (80.2%) recurred at a single site and 68 cases (19.8%) recurred at more than two sites. The follow-up rate was 96.2%. The 1-, 3-and 5-year overall survival rates were 53.6%, 22.6% and 16.4%, respectively, with a median of 12.8 months (95% CI: 11.3-14.3 months). The 1-, 3-and 5-year local recurrence-free survival rates were 46.5%, 16.9% and 12.0%, respectively, with a median of 11.0 months (95% CI: 9.6-12.4 months). The 1-, 3-and 5-year progression-free survival rates were 39.8%, 11.3% and 6.7%, respectively, with a median of 7.9 months (95% CI: 5.8-10.0 months). Multivariate analysis showed that gender, the log odds of metastatic lymph nodes (LODDS) and the number of chemotherapy cycles were the independent prognostic factors ( P=0.003, <0.001, <0.001). Subgroup univariate analysis demonstrated that patients with an esophageal lesion length<5.0 cm, N 0 stage, the number of surgically-dissected lymph nodes of ≤9, the number of postoperative positive lymph node metastasis site of 0, and LODDS≤0.030 obtained benefits from ENI ( P=0.032, 0.012, 0.001, 0.012 and 0.014). Patients with the number of surgically-dissected lymph nodes of ≥16 achieved benefits from IFI ( P=0.035). Conclusions:Radiotherapy is an effective treatment mode for patients with local recurrence after esophageal cancer surgery. For patients with preoperative esophagography showing shorter esophageal lesions, earlier postoperative pathological N stage, lower LODDS score, and fewer surgically-dissected lymph nodes probably obtain more benefits from ENI than IFI. However, patients with more surgically-dissected lymph nodes may obtain more benefit from IFI compared with ENI.

Objective:To investigate the recurrence-free survival (RFS) and influencing factors of intensity-modulated radiotherapy±chemotherapy (IMRT±C) for the upper thoracic esophageal cancer.Methods:The medical records of 168 patients with cervical and upper thoracic esophageal cancer who met the inclusion criteria from January 2011 to December 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. The RFS was calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method. Multivariate prognostic analysis was performed by Cox models. The recurrence factors were identified by the Logistics model. Results:The 1-, 3-, and 5-year RFS rates were 67.8%, 38.0%, and 20.4%, respectively, and the median RFS was 21.9 months. The locoregional recurrence rate was 47.6%(80/168). The recurrence sites were local esophagus ( n=63), regional lymph nodes ( n=7), and local esophagus+ regional lymph node recurrence ( n=10). Multivariate analysis showed that hoarseness, cTstaging, combined with chemotherapy, 95%PTV 1 exposure dose and GTV average exposure dose were the influencing factors of RFS ( P=0.029, <0.001, 0.031, 0.038, 0.020). Logistics model showed that cTstaging, cNstaging, short-term efficacy, irradiationmethod, GTV maximum transverse diameter and PTV average exposure dose were the influencing factors of recurrence ( P=0.046, 0.022, 0.001, <0.001, 0.012, 0.001). Conclusions:Patients with cervical and upper thoracic esophageal cancer treated with radical IMRT combined with/without chemotherapy have a higher locoregional recurrence rate, and the recurrence rate is mainly the esophagus. The independent factors that affect RFS are different from the risk factors of recurrence.

Objective:To study the effects of immunity index and blood inflammatory markers pre- and post-radiotherapy on prognosis of esophageal cancer patients with clinical stage Ⅲ.Methods:A total of 84 esophageal cancer patients with clinical stage Ⅲ (T 4N 1M 0) in Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University were analyzed, from May 2010 to April 2012. Intensity-modulated radiotherapy was delivered with a dose of 56-66 Gy/1.8-2.0 Gy per fraction. Flow cytometry was used to analyze the distribution of T-lymphocyte subsets (CD3, CD4, CD8, CD4/CD8) and natural killer cells (CD56) in the peripheral blood pre- and post- radiotherapy. Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) pre- and post- radiotherapy were also tested. The correlation of immunity index and blood inflammatory markers with prognosis was analyzed by univariate and multivariate analysis. Results:For all patients, the 1-, 3- and 5-year overall survival (OS) rates were 78.57%, 34.52% and 19.59%, respectively. The median OS time was 22.60 months. The 1-, 3- and 5-year progression free survival (PFS) rates were 69.05%, 27.38% and 12.09%, respectively. The median PFS time was 21.20 months. The objective response rate was 61.90%, with 11 patients of complete remission (CR) and 41 patients of partial remission (PR). Univariate analysis revealed that NLR before radiotherapy, T-lymphocyte subsets (CD3, CD4 and CD4/CD8) after radiotherapy were significantly associated with OS and PFS (OS: χ 2=7.851, 4.443, 8.381, 5.972, P<0.05, PFS: χ 2= 7.475, 6.290, 9.659, 8.738, P<0.05). Multivariate COX regression analysis showed that NLR before radiotherapy, T-lymphocyte subsets (CD4, CD4/CD8) after radiotherapy were independent prognostic factors for OS (χ 2=10.464, 4.292, 5.507, P<0.05). The NLR before radiotherapy and CD4/CD8 after radiotherapy were independent prognostic factors for PFS (χ 2=10.835, 8.545, P<0.05). Conclusions:Radiotherapy may influence the immune function. NLR before radiotherapy and CD4/CD8 after radiotherapy are of great value in predicting the prognosis of esophageal cancer patients.

Objective:To investigate the prognosis and failure mode of patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma receiving selective lymph node irradiation (ENI).Methods:A total of 179 eligible patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma were retrospectively analyzed. The prognostic value of tumor-related factors, the influencing factors of short-term curative effect and prognosis of patients, and the single and multi factor indexes of affecting the overall survival rate (OS), progression free survival rate (PFS) and recurrence of patients were analyzed.SPSS 19.0 software was used for statistical analysis.Results:The 1, 3- and 5-year OS of the whole group were 77.1%, 40.1% and 26.0%, respectively, and 1-, 3- and 5-year PFS were 62.6%, 30.6%, and 20.3%, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that hoarseness, cN stage, cTNM stage, GTV-transverse diameter (GTV-D) and GTV-volume/length (GTV-V/L) were independent factors affecting OS ( P<0.05). The sonar, cTNM staging, and short-term efficacy were independent factors affecting PFS ( P<0.05). Recurrence occurred in 75 patients (41.9%) in the whole group, and 61 patients (34.1%) had distant metastases. Among them, 9 patients (10.6%) had both recurrence and distant metastasis. Of the 75 patients with recurrence, 64(85.3%) had simple esophageal recurrence, 4(5.3%) had lymph node recurrence, and 7 (9.3%) had both. Recurrence occurred in 18 of the 63 patients who achieved CR after treatment. Only 2 patients had lymph node recurrence. Logistic multivariate analysis showed that the surrounding tissue/organ invasion, GTV-D and short-term were independent factors affecting the recurrence rate ( P<0.05). Conclusions:ENI is feasible in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, and the main mode of failure is esophageal recurrence. Pre-treatment sonar, larger GTV-D and GTV-V/L, more advanced clinical stage and poorer short-term efficacy are indicators of poor prognosis, while the peripheral tissue involvement, GTV-D and short-term efficacy are the independent factors that influence failure.

Objective:To evaluate the recurrence patterns of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) after radical surgery and analyze the predictors of post-recurrence survival (PRS).Methods:A total of 382 ESCC patients who developed recurrence after radical surgery were retrospectively reviewed from January 2007 to December 2011. All of them received salvage treatment after recurrence. The Univariate analysis was determined using the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test. Multivariate prognostic analysis was determined using the Cox proportional hazard model.Results:The 1-, 3-, 5-year overall survival (OS) rates were 80.9%, 35.6% and 20.4%, respectively. The median survival time and recurrence time were 29.2 months and 15.0 months. The 1-, 3-, 5-year PRS rates were 37.7%, 14.6% and 11.9%, respectively. The median PRS time was 10.2 months. Locoregional recurrence was noted at 462 sites among 382 patients including 20.5% (95/462) of sites in supraclavicular LN (lymph node), 10.0% (46/462) in anastomosis, 56.1% (259/462) in mediastinal regional LN and 13.4% (62/462) in upper abdominal LN. There were 156, 43, 82 and 101 patients treated with salvage radiotherapy, chemotherapy, chemoradiotherapy and palliative care after recurrence, respectively. The univariate analysis showed that T stage, N stage, TNM stage, recurrence site, number of recurrent regions and treatment regimen after recurrence were significantly correlated with PRS ( χ2=5.336, 4.292, 8.067, 7.482, 4.093, 76.426, P<0.05). Patients receiving salvage radiotherapy with the median dose of 60 Gy, were divided into <60 Gy group and ≥ 60 Gy group. The ≥60 Gy group had a better PRS than <60 Gy group ( χ2=8.320, P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that number of recurrent regions and treatment regimen were independent prognostic factors of PRS. Conclusions:Mediastinal and supraclavicular regions were the most common sites of recurrence in ESCC patients after radical surgery. Salvage radiotherapy and chemoradiotherapy could significantly improve PRS in recurrent ESCC patients.

Objective To compare the prognosis of patients with squamous cell carcinona of the upper thoracic esophagus after radical resection with and without postoperative chemoradiotherapy (POCRT).Methods From January 2007 to December 2011,168 patients with upper thoracic esophageal carcinoma who were treated in the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University were retrospectively included in this study.According to the different treatment method,they were divided into simple surgery group (86 cases) and POCRT group (82 cases) respectively.Based on SPSS statistical software,the group data composition,prognostic analysis and multivariate prognostic analysis were performed by x2 test,Log-rank method and Cox regression model,respectively.Results The 1,3,5 year-survival rate,recurrence rate and distant metastasis rate were 83.9％,52.4％,43.5％,26.5％,40.8％,43.4％ and 5.3％,11.4％,16.9％,respectively.The result of multivariate analysis showed that gender,T stage,N stage and treatment method were independent prognostic factors of overall survival (P =0.020,0.008,0.005,0.000);N staging and treatment method were the independent prognostic factors of local/regional recurrence (P =0.001,0.003);differentiation and T staging were the independent prognostic factors of distant metastasis (P =0.045,0.020).The intrathoracic regional recurrence rate of operation only group and POCRT group patients were 44.2％ (38/86) and 29.3％ (24/82) respectively,where the difference was statistically significant (x2 =7.110,P ＜ 0.05).The rate of metastasis were 19.8％ (17/86) and 13.4％ (11/82) respectively without significant difference (P ＞0.05).Conclusions The recurrence rate of patients with upper thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma after radical resection was still high.Postoperative chemoradiotherapy can improve the overall survival rate and reduce the recurrence rate,but whether it can reduce the patient's distant metastasis rate needs further study.
