| Abstract:: |
| Objective To analyze the therapeutic effects and prognosis after radiotherapy (chemotherapy) of patients with postoperative recurrent esophageal cancer. Methods This study analyzed 501 patients with postoperative recurrent esophageal cancer who were treated in the Radiotherapy Department of the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University and met enrollment conditions. Among them, 274 patients received concurrent chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The analyses in this study focused on the survival after the retreatment, postoperative recurrence patterns, prognosis of retreatment, and prognostic factors affecting the retreatment. Meanwhile, statistical analysis was conducted using the software SPSS Statistics 19.0. Results The time of postoperative recurrence was 0.3-87.4 months, with a median number of 11.6 months. The median survival time was 12.1 months after the retreatment. Among all the patients, 344 patients suffered from only local recurrence, while the remaining 157 patients experienced distant metastasis. According to multivariate analysis result, independent prognostic factors included gender, pN stage, lymph node positive logarithmic ratio (LODDS), the number of chemotherapy cycles, time of recurrence, and distant metastasis (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, prognostic factors affecting the 344 patients with only local recurrence included the time of recurrence, the number of chemotherapy cycles, and prescription dose (χ2=22.605, 13.957, 10.446; P< 0.05). The remaining 157 patients suffered from distant metastasis. The 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates of them were 43.3%, 9.1%, and 5.5%, respectively, and those of the patients with only local recurrence were 53.6%, 22.6%, and 16.4%, respectively. The differences were statistically significant (χ2=10.786, P< 0.05). Conclusions Radiotherapy (chemotherapy) is safe and effective for the treatment of recurrent esophageal cancer. However, it features poor prognosis for male patients with a late pN stage, a high LODDS, the number of chemotherapy cycles ≤ 2, the time of recurrence ≤ 24 months, and distant metastasis. |
