Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Although esophagectomy traditionally is recommended to perform within 8 weeks after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT), data from neoadjuvantly treated rectal cancer patients demonstrate that delayed surgery ([8 weeks) can maximize the effect of CRT. Despite these promising data, investigators are concerned that delayed surgery may lead to tumor repopulation. We report the impact of delayed surgery in patients with esophageal cancer who were treated with nCRT. METHODS:We retrospectively studied 276 esophageal cancer patients treated with nCRT and surgery between 2002 and 2008. We compared perioperative complication, rate of pathological complete response (pCR), distribution of tumor regression grade (TRG), and overall survival (OS) in patients who underwent surgery within 8 weeks (group A) and after 8 weeks (group B) after nCRT. RESULTS:There were 138 patients in each group with similar pre/post-nCRT characteristics. Delayed surgery did not result in lower surgical risk or higher pCR rate. Survival outcome also did not improve following a longer surgery interval (5-year OS: group A vs. group B, 29 vs. 23 %; P = 0.3). On the contrary, a subgroup analysis showed that delayed surgery might be hazardous, especially in patients who demonstrate a good response after nCRT. The amount of residual cancer, as measured by TRG, increased significantly after a longer surgical interval (P = 0.024). Survival also decreased after a longer surgical interval (5-year OS B8 vs. [8 weeks, 50 vs. 35 %; P = 0.038). CONCLUSIONS:After nCRT, esophagectomy should be performed within 8 weeks, especially in patients with good response.
