Brief Title: Risk Factors of Relapse in Esophageal Squamous Cell Cancers Who Achieve PCR to Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy
Official Title: The Patterns and Risk Factors of Relapse in Esophageal Squamous Cell Cancers Who Achieve Pathologic Complete Response to Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy
Study ID: NCT06061263
Brief Summary: It has been reported that patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who achieved pathological complete response (PCR) to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy have better survival than those with non-PCR. Howeve, there is still recurrent diseases developed in PCR patients after esophagectomy. Herein, we aimed to investgate the risk factors of recurrence in PCR patients.
Detailed Description: Between January 2008 and December 2018, a total of 96 patients with pathological complete response were enrolled in this study. Sterilized lymph nodes (SLN) were defined as those lymph nodes without residual tumor but with the presence of treatment response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. Prognostic factors for recurrence-free survival (RFS) were analyzed with univariate and multivariate analyses.
