Abstract
Abstract
Background
With the improved survival rate of patients with esophageal cancer, secondary cancers, including pharyngolaryngeal cancer, have become a problem. Phanryngolaryngeal cancer surgery often requires esophagogastric anastomosis resection in patients with a previous history of subtotal esophagectomy. Owing to adhesions, especially surrounding the esophagogastric anastomosis, caused by the initial surgery, the second surgery might cause postoperative complications.
Case presentation
A 65-year-old man was diagnosed with early stage esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and underwent endoscopic mucosal dissection. However, the histopathological depth of the tumor was pT1b, and additional treatment was required. After administration of the neoadjuvant chemotherapy, he underwent thoracoscopic esophagectomy and retrosternum reconstruction via a gastric tube (pT1N3M0 stage III). Eight months after the first surgery, tumor recurrences were observed at the anastomosis and left cervical lymph node. Definitive chemoradiotherapy was performed for the recurrences, and complete response was achieved. Seven months after chemoradiotherapy, he was diagnosed with hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma in the right piriform fossa (cT2N2bM0 stage IVA), and salvage surgery was chosen as treatment. The surgical findings revealed strong adhesion around the remnant esophagus, which was difficult to dissect from surrounding tissue and was associated with a risk of breaking of the anastomosis. However, indocyanine green fluorescence imaging findings indicated sufficient blood flow to preserve the remnant esophagus, including the anastomosis, even after the interruption of blood flow from the proximal side of the esophagus by total pharyngolaryngectomy. Finally, approximately 4 cm of the remnant esophagus was preserved, and the free jejunum reconstruction with cervical vascular anastomosis was performed. Moreover, the patient was discharged without complications on postoperative day 38. After 10 months of the second surgery, a metastatic lymph node was observed in the right neck. Immune checkpoint inhibitors and chemotherapy were administered, and the patient is alive and under treatment 1.5 years after the second surgery.
Conclusions
Blood supply to the remnant cervical esophagus was thought to be from the gastric conduit over the anastomosis and surrounding capillaries. Thus, the preservation of the remnant esophagus can be considered in total pharyngolaryngectomy even after < 2 years of esophagectomy by blood flow evaluation using indocyanine green fluorescence.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the oncological outcomes of cervical esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (CESCC) treated with definitive chemoradiotherapy (CRT). METHODS A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed according to the PRISMA guidelines. RESULTS A total of 1222 patients (median age: 63.0 years, 95% CI 61.0-65.0) were included from 22 studies. The median follow-up time was 34.0 months (n = 1181, 95% CI 26.4-36.0). Estimated pooled OS rates (95% CI) at 1, 3, and 5 years were 77.9% (73.9-82.2), 48.4% (43.2-54.3), and 35.3% (29.7-41.9), respectively. The median OS (95% CI) was 33.4 months (25.8-42.2). Estimated pooled PFS rates (n = 595; 95% CI) at 1, 3, and 5 years were 64.1% (57.9-71.0), 38.0% (33.3-45.5), and 29.8% (23.9-37.1), respectively. The median PFS (95% CI) was 19.8 months (14.9-26.6). CONCLUSIONS Definitive CRT is a valuable first-line treatment for the management of CESCC. Further studies should focus on survival predictors able to define stage-based clinical guidelines.

Abstract
Docetaxel is one of the clinical first-line drugs and its combination with other chemotherapy agents for advanced or metastatic cancers has attracted widespread attention. Therefore, to promote the clinical application of docetaxel alone or in combination, a comprehensive investigation of the metabolic mechanism of docetaxel is of great importance. Here, we apply an integrative analysis of metabolomics and network pharmacology to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of docetaxel. After taking the intersection of the above two methods, 5 pathways including ABC transporters, Central carbon metabolism in cancer, Glycolysis and Gluconeogenesis, Cysteine and methionine metabolism, and Arginine biosynthesis have been screened out. In concern of the interaction network of these pathways and the anti-apoptosis effect of docetaxel itself, the Central carbon metabolism in cancer pathway was mainly focused. This study may help delineate global landscapes of cellular protein-metabolite interactions, to provide molecular insights about their mechanisms of action, to promote the clinical applications at well.

Induction chemoradiotherapy including docetaxel, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil for locally advanced esophageal cancer. Esophagus 2020; 17:127-134. [PMID: 31897761 DOI: 10.1007/s10388-019-00709-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2019] [Accepted: 12/18/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Locally advanced esophageal cancer (EC) invading surrounding organs (T4b) is difficult to treat. In general, definitive chemoradiotherapy (d-CRT) has been chosen as treatment for such cases. However, the outcome has not been good. Recently, the effectiveness of d-CRT with docetaxel, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil (DCF-RT) has been reported. Furthermore, surgery after d-CRT has a better prognosis than d-CRT alone in some reports, although it has a high risk of surgical complications. This study investigated the effectiveness and safety of induction DCF-RT. METHODS The subjects were EC patients who underwent induction DCF-RT in Okayama University Hospital between January 2011 and December 2017. Their background characteristics, treatment details, histopathological factors, adverse events during CRT, postoperative complications, and overall survival (OS) were assessed. RESULTS A total of 16 cases were performed induction DCF-RT. In 10 cases, death occurred, with 9 cancer-related deaths, and 1 death due to other disease. For all cases, OS was 37.5% at 3 years. 12 cases underwent esophagectomy after DCF-RT. Their OS was 50% at 3 years. 13 patients (81.3%) had Grade 3 febrile neutropenia. In 7 cases (62.5%), fasting for the treatment of diarrhea was needed. Three patients (25%) developed anastomotic leakage. Some recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis was observed in 6 cases (50%). CONCLUSION Although the rates of adverse events and surgical complications were slightly higher than in past reports, they were acceptable. It is useful to perform induction DCF-RT for T4b EC.

Abstract
Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a common malignancy with poor prognosis and survival rate. To identify meaningful long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), microRNA (miRNA), and messenger RNA (mRNA) modules related to the ESCC prognosis, The Cancer Genome Atlas-ESCC was downloaded and processed, and then, a weighted gene co-expression network analysis was applied to construct lncRNA co-expression networks, miRNA co-expression networks, and mRNA co-expression networks. Twenty-one hub lncRNAs, seven hub miRNAs, and eight hub mRNAs were clarified. Additionally, a competitive endogenous RNAs network was constructed, and the emerging role of the network involved in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) was also analyzed using several webtools. The expression levels of eight hub genes (TBC1D2, ATP6V0E1, SPI1, RNASE6, C1QB, C1QC, CSF1R, and C1QA) were different between normal esophageal tissues and HNSCC tissues. The expression levels of TBC1D2 and ATP6V0E1 were related to the survival time of HNSCC. The competitive endogenous RNAs network might provide common mechanisms involving in ESCC and HNSCC. More importantly, useful clues were provided for clinical treatments of both diseases based on novel molecular advances.

Abstract
Cervical esophageal carcinoma (CEC) is rare, accounting for 2-10% of esophageal cancers and is mostly squamous cell carcinoma. Because of the anatomical proximity of CEC to larynx, surgical treatment would involve pharyngo-laryngo-esophagectomy (PLE) with inherent high mortality and morbidity. Laryngeal preservation is an important consideration, and definitive chemoradiotherapy is the recommended treatment. Treatment strategy of CEC can be more akin to treatment for head and neck cancers than to thoracic esophageal cancers. Since the exact location, extent of primary and nodal metastasis varies between patients, radiotherapy treatment needs to be individualized. The optimal radiation dose for CEC is uncertain, but retrospective data suggests that higher radiation dose of at least 60 Gy is associated with better local control and survival. Advanced radiotherapy technique, like intensity modulated radiotherapy, is usually required to achieve high dose to tumor while protecting normal tissues from excessive radiation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Antimicrobial peptides play an important role in the innate immune system. Possessing broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, antimicrobial peptides can quickly treat and kill various targets, including gram-negative bacteria, gram-positive bacteria, fungi, and tumor cells. OBJECTIVE An overview of the state of play with regard to the research trend of antimicrobial peptides in recent years and the situation of targeting tumor cells, and to make statistical analysis of the patents related to anticancer peptides published in recent years, is important both from toxicological and medical tumor therapy point of view. METHODS Based on the Science Citation Index Expanded version, the Derwent Innovation Index and Innography as data sources, the relevant literature and patents concerning antimicrobial peptides and anticancer peptides were analyzed through the Thomson Data Analyzer. Results of toxicologic and pharmacologic studies that brought to the development of patents for methods to novel tumor drugs were analyzed and sub-divided according to the specific synthesis of anticancer peptides. RESULTS The literature and patent search data show that the research and development of global antimicrobial peptides and anticancer peptides has been in an incremental mode. Growing patent evidence indicate that bioinformatics technology is a valuable strategy to modify, synthesize or recombine existing antimicrobial peptides to obtain tumor drugs with high activity, low toxicity and multiple targets. CONCLUSION These findings may have important clinical implications for cancer treatment, especially in patients with conditions that are not currently treatable by other drugs, or that are resistant to existing cancer drugs.

Abstract
Background Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is one of leading malignant cancers of gastrointestinal tract worldwide. Until now, the involved mechanisms during the development of ESCC are largely unknown. This study aims to explore the driven-genes and biological pathways in ESCC. Methods mRNA expression datasets of GSE29001, GSE20347, GSE100942, and GSE38129, containing 63 pairs of ESCC and non-tumor tissues data, were integrated and deeply analyzed. The bioinformatics approaches include identification of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and hub genes, gene ontology (GO) terms analysis and biological pathway enrichment analysis, construction and analysis of protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, and miRNA-gene network construction. Subsequently, GEPIA2 database and qPCR assay were utilized to validate the expression of hub genes. DGIdb database was performed to search the candidate drugs for ESCC. Results Finally, 120 upregulated and 26 downregulated DEGs were identified. The functional enrichment of DEGs in ESCC were mainly correlated with cell cycle, DNA replication, deleted in colorectal cancer (DCC) mediated attractive signaling pathway, and Netrin-1 signaling pathway. The PPI network was constructed using STRING software with 146 nodes and 2392 edges. The most significant three modules in PPI were filtered and analyzed. Totally ten genes were selected and considered as the hub genes and nuclear division cycle 80 (NDC80) was closely related to the survival of ESCC patients. DGIdb database predicted 33 small molecules as the possible drugs for treating ESCC. Conclusions In summary, the data may provide new insights into ESCC pathogenesis and treatments. The candidate drugs may improve the efficiency of personalized therapy in future.

Abstract
This study investigated the clinical outcome of locally advanced cervical esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients who received curative concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) and their differences from thoracic ESCC patients. Among 411 enrolled ESCC patients, including 63 with cervical and 348 with thoracic ESCC, 63 thoracic patients were propensity score-matched to the 63 cervical patients. For cervical ESCC, T4b and high tumor grade were independent prognostic factors of a worse overall survival (OS) in univariate and multivariate analyses. The response rates to curative CCRT between cervical and the matched thoracic ESCC groups were similar but cervical ESCC had a better OS than that of the matched thoracic group (21.4 versus 10.1 months, p = 0.012). Better OS was mentioned to be in the patients with complete response (CR), whether in the cervical or matched thoracic ESCC group. For patients without CR, patients who underwent esophagectomy had superior OS than those without operation in the matched thoracic ESCC group (11.6 versus 11.9 months, p = 0.73). Only three patients received operation in the cervical ESCC group, thus the survival difference was not significant. Curative CCRT may be a reasonable treatment for cervical ESCC in clinical practice, and the role of surgery should be considered as salvage therapy if residual disease is evident.
