Abstract
The current curative multimodal treatment of advanced esophageal cancers consists of neoadjuvant or perioperative chemo(radio)therapy followed by a radical surgical resection of the primary tumor and a 2- or 3-field lymphadenectomy. One of the most important predictors of long-term survival of esophageal cancer patients is lymph node involvement. The distribution pattern of lymph node metastases in esophageal cancer is unpredictable and depends on the primary tumor location, histology, T-stage and application of neoadjuvant or perioperative treatment. The optimal extent of the lymphadenectomy remains controversial; there is no global consensus on this topic yet. Some surgeons advocate an aggressive and extended lymph node dissection to remove occult metastatic disease, to optimize oncological outcomes. Others promote a more restricted lymphadenectomy, since the benefit of an extended lymphadenectomy, especially after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, has not been clearly demonstrated, and morbidity may be reduced. In this review, we describe the development of lymphadenectomy, followed by a summary of current evidence for lymphadenectomy in esophageal cancer treatment.

Computed tomography radiomics identification of T1-2 and T3-4 stages of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: two-dimensional or three-dimensional? Abdom Radiol (NY) 2024; 49:288-300. [PMID: 37843576 PMCID: PMC10789855 DOI: 10.1007/s00261-023-04070-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2023] [Revised: 09/15/2023] [Accepted: 09/19/2023] [Indexed: 10/17/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) radiomics analysis for the T stage of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). METHODS 398 patients with pathologically confirmed ESCC were divided into training and testing sets. All patients underwent chest CT scans preoperatively. For each tumor, based on CT images, a 2D region of interest (ROI) was outlined on the largest cross-sectional area, and a 3D ROI was outlined layer by layer on each section of the tumor. The radiomics platform was used for feature extraction. For feature selection, stepwise logistic regression was used. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to assess the diagnostic performance of the 2D radiomics model versus the 3D radiomics model. The differences were compared using the DeLong test. The value of the clinical utility of the two radiomics models was evaluated. RESULTS 1595 radiomics features were extracted. After screening, two radiomics models were constructed. In the training set, the difference between the area under the curve (AUC) of the 2D radiomics model (AUC = 0.831) and the 3D radiomics model (AUC = 0.830) was not statistically significant (p = 0.973). In the testing set, the difference between the AUC of the 2D radiomics model (AUC = 0.807) and the 3D radiomics model (AUC = 0.797) was also not statistically significant (p = 0.748). A 2D model was equally useful as a 3D model in clinical situations. CONCLUSION The performance of 2D radiomics model is comparable to that of 3D radiomics model in distinguishing between the T1-2 and T3-4 stages of ESCC. In addition, 2D radiomics model may be a more feasible option due to the shorter time required for segmenting the ROI.

Cancer Epidemiol 2023; 87:102486. [PMID: 37956470 DOI: 10.1016/j.canep.2023.102486] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2023] [Revised: 09/06/2023] [Accepted: 11/03/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Esophageal cancer (EC) is a malignancy with a poor prognosis. We provided a global overview of EC mortality, analyzing figures over the last three decades and estimating mortality rates for the year 2025. We also reported incidence trends and the distribution of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and adenocarcinoma (AC) in selected countries. METHODS We considered EC trends in the age-standardised mortality rates (ASMR) from the World Health Organization database for selected countries. To estimate the number of deaths and ASMRs for 2025, we applied a Poisson linear regression model to the latest trend segment identified using a joinpoint model. We reported EC incidence trends according to histology using the Cancer Incidence in Five Continents database for the calendar period of 1990-2012. RESULTS In 2015-19, the male ASMRs/100,000 were 4.01 in the EU-27, 4.28 in the USA, and 5.10 in Japan. The corresponding female rates ranged from 0.82 to 0.85/100,000. Male mortality showed a decreasing trend in most countries analyzed, with earlier and steeper declines in southern Europe. Conversely, ASMRs were increasing in Belarus, Finland, Greece, and Cuba. Female mortality showed a slight increase in several European countries, while North America, Latin America, and Australasia showed favorable trends. Projections suggest that male EC mortality is expected to decline in all countries except the Russian Federation. Female favorable trends are also predicted in most countries, except for France, Germany, the Russian Federation, and Canada. SCC remained the most common histotype, but AC incidence showed an upward trend, particularly in high-income countries. CONCLUSION The observed trends in EC mortality reflect variations in patterns of major risk factors. Effective control of risk factors would contribute to reducing the burden of EC, together with early diagnosis and potential improvements in treatments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In developed countries, there has been a definite change in the histopathological spectrum of esophageal cancer towards adenocarcinoma. There are limited data from India regarding the histopathological profile of patients with esophageal cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively evaluated patients with histologically proven esophageal cancer who were registered at the Tata Memorial Hospital (Mumbai, India) between 2003 and 2018. The primary aim of the study was to analyze the time-trend of the histological pattern of esophageal cancer. Our secondary objectives included evaluating whether there was any correlation between the histology of the esophageal cancer and the age, sex, socioeconomic status (the paying ability of the patient, which was reflected in the treatment category of the patient, i.e., private [full payment], general [subsidized payment], or no charge), comorbidities, and a history of substance abuse. RESULTS Among 7874 patients with esophageal cancer, 5092 (64.7%) were men, with a male-to-female ratio of 1.8:1. The median age was 57 years (IQR, 50-65). Of the 4912 patients in whom a history of tobacco or alcohol use had been elicited, 1360 (27.7%) had no history of substance abuse. A majority of the tumors (2942, 37.4%) originated in the middle-third of the esophagus. Squamous cell carcinoma was the predominant histological type, noted in 6413 (81.4%) patients and remained the most common histologic type consistently through the study with no evidence of a time-trend in the histological pattern. On the multivariate analysis, female sex and a history of substance abuse were associated with higher odds of squamous cell carcinoma, while the presence of comorbidities and lower esophageal/gastroesophageal junction primaries were associated with higher odds of adenocarcinoma. CONCLUSIONS There is no evidence of an epidemiological shift in the histopathologic spectrum of esophageal cancer in India over the last two decades. Four out of five Indian patients with esophageal cancer have squamous cell histology, with the commonest site of origin being the middle third. This is important to recognize, given the varying molecular spectrum and efficacy of therapeutic modalities based on histopathology.

Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:cancers15071997. [PMID: 37046658 PMCID: PMC10093339 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15071997] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2023] [Revised: 02/03/2023] [Accepted: 02/06/2023] [Indexed: 03/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a common type of cancer characterized by fast progression and high mortality rates, which generally implies a poor prognosis at time of diagnosis. Intricate interaction networks of cytokines produced by resident and inflammatory cells in the tumor microenvironment play crucial roles in ESCC development and metastasis, thus influencing therapy efficiency. As such, cytokines are the most prominent targets for specific therapies and prognostic parameters to predict tumor progression and aggressiveness. In this work, we examined the association between ESCC progression and the systemic levels of inflammatory cytokines to determine their usefulness as diagnostic biomarkers. We analyzed the levels of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, TNF-α e IL-12p70 in a group of 70 ESCC patients and 70 healthy individuals using Cytometric Bead Array (CBA) technology. We detected increased levels of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, and IL-10 in ESCC patients compared to controls. However, multivariate analysis revealed that only IL8 was an independent prognostic factor for ESCC, as were the well-known risk factors: alcohol consumption, tobacco usage, and exposure to pesticides/insecticides. Importantly, patients with low IL-6, IL-8, TNM I/II, or those who underwent surgery had a significantly higher overall survival rate. We also studied cultured Kyse-30 and Kyse-410 cells in mice. We determined that the ESCC cell line Kyse-30 grew more aggressively than the Kyse-410 cell line. This enhanced growth was associated with the recruitment/accumulation of intratumoral polymorphonuclear leukocytes. In conclusion, our data suggest IL-8 as a valuable prognostic factor with potential as a biomarker for ESCC.

Abstract
Oesophageal cancer (OC) is an aggressive neoplasm that manifests in the gastrointestinal tract and is the result of numerous factors that can contribute to the development of the disease. These may include old age, nutritional deficiencies, oesophageal obstruction and food ingestion difficulties. Environmental factors serve a large role in increasing the risk of developing OC. Two factors that serve an increasing risk of developing OC are the use of tobacco and the consumption of alcohol. Genetic factors also exhibit a large effect on the risk of developing OC, for example, the causative genes in Black Africans differ from other races. OC is 3–4 times more common among men than women. OC has been previously reported in >450 000 individuals worldwide, and its incidence is increasing. The current review compares OC in low to middle-income countries with developed countries. The incidence of OC, particularly squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is high in low and middle-income countries. In developed countries, the incidence of SCC is low compared with adenocarcinoma. The majority of OC cases are diagnosed in the late stages of the disease, leading to high mortality rates. The current review aimed to discuss factors that contribute to the development of this disease in different geographical areas and genetic mechanisms governing these findings. The current review also aims to discuss the preventative treatment options for the disease, and also discusses the diagnosis and surveillance in five LMICs, including South Africa, China, Tanzania, India and Brazil.

Abstract
PURPOSE Despite epidemiologic and molecular differences between esophageal and
stomach cancers, most published studies have included patients with either
disease in a metastatic scenario. We evaluated the safety and effectiveness
of chemotherapy in patients with metastatic esophageal cancer in the
community setting. PATIENTS AND METHODS We performed a retrospective cohort study of patients with synchronous
metastatic esophageal cancer treated at a public hospital between 2008 and
2016. Patients were grouped according to a prescribed chemotherapy protocol:
platinum and taxane (group A); platinum and irinotecan (group B); platinum
and fluoropyrimidine (group C); and without platinum (group D). RESULTS Of the 1,789 patients with esophageal cancer treated, we included 397 with
metastatic disease at presentation. Squamous cell carcinoma was the most
frequent histology (78.8%). Median overall survival (OS) was 7 months (95%
CI, 6.15 to 7.85 months). Chemotherapy was administered to 285 patients, who
reached a median OS of 9.0 months (95% CI, 8.0 to 9.9 months); for 112
patients who did not receive treatment, median OS was 3 months (95% CI, 2.3
to 3.7 months; P < .001). The most used combination
was platinum plus irinotecan (A; 55.5%). Disease control with in groups A,
B, C, and D was 39.2%, 30.1%, 53% and 14.3%, respectively. Patients in group
C reached a median OS of 17 months (95% CI, 13.1 to 20.8 months;
P = .034). No differences were observed in median OS
obtained with other protocols (9 months). The toxicity profile was different
according to chemotherapy, with more severe events (hematologic, diarrhea,
and number of days hospitalized) occurring in group B. CONCLUSION Platinum plus paclitaxel or platinum plus irinotecan provided similar OS in
community patients, although patients receiving irinotecan experienced more
severe events. In the adenocarcinoma population, a fluoropyrimidine plus
platinum–based regimen, although less frequently used, had a more
favorable toxicity profile, with superior median OS and disease control.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Alcohol use is one of the ten most common risk factors threatening global health that is avoidable (ranked fifth after smoking). It is involved in high rates of liver cirrhosis, epilepsy, hypertension, cerebrovascular and mental illness. Negative consequences of family and social drinking are also very significant. The aim of the study is to quantify the gender and age-differentiated disparities in alcohol-related mortality in the population over 16 years between the years 1996-2017 in Slovakia. METHODS We used data from mortality reports within 1996-2017 provided by the National Health Information Centre in the Slovak Republic. We applied two-dimensional correspondence analysis where dimensions are age and chosen causes of deaths induced by use of alcohol and classified by the International Classification of Diseases. RESULTS In case of males, we found that K74 - Fibrosis and cirrhosis of liver diagnosis almost perfectly corresponds to age 66-75 years, and we documented strong correspondence between K70 - Alcoholic liver disease and age 46-55 years. For females, the most robust finding is that K70 - Alcoholic liver disease corresponds relatively similarly with age groups 26-35, 36-45, 46-55. The results of the analysis allow us to obtain a detailed overview of the development of mortality in individual alcohol diagnoses and their intervention in individual age groups by gender. Mortality for some diagnoses affects the young female as well as male population. We observed that there are systematic differences in alcohol-induced mortality between males and females. CONCLUSIONS In such development of the alcohol-related mortality structure, the priority remains the permanent provision of primary, secondary and tertiary prevention at the individual and population level. The results of our analysis represent a valuable platform for health and social policymakers to develop quality national and regional health strategies aimed at eliminating the consequences of alcohol use. Lessons learned from our analysis will be supported by our other geographically oriented analytical lines to link identified and quantified regional disparities in the mortality of alcohol diagnoses to the availability of health care to treat these diseases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of our study was to investigate the relationship between alcohol-related mortality in Slovak regions, as represented by Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS) III level. METHODS We used data from mortality reports spanning 1996-2017 in the Slovak Republic. Data was provided by the National Health Information Centre in Slovakia. We applied two-dimensional correspondence analysis where the dimensions are regions and selected alcohol-related deaths diagnoses are classified by the International Classification of Diseases. RESULTS Analysis revealed a relationship between the Prešov region and diagnoses I42 - Cardiomyopathy and K29 - Alcoholic gastritis. Furthermore, the Banská Bystrica and Žilina regions correspond to G31 - Degeneration of nervous system due to alcohol and K86 - Alcohol-induced chronic pancreatitis. In the case of K70 - Alcoholic liver disease - the Banská Bystrica, Trenčín and Nitra regions are identified as regions which have an intermediate relationship with this diagnosis. The Trnava region corresponds to F10 - Acute alcohol intoxication. The Trenčín and Nitra regions correspond closely to G62 - Alcoholic polyneuropathy. Perfect correspondence can be seen between the Košice region and K73 - Chronic hepatitis, not elsewhere classified. K74 - Fibrosis and cirrhosis of liver diagnosis also corresponds with the Košice region. CONCLUSIONS The results of this analysis provide valuable insights for national and regional health policymakers in the process of preparing high-quality health regional plans, as well as retrospectively assessing the success of existing health policies and interventions in this area. Facts presented in the study justify the need for specialised health care, which is part of the process of building an Integrated Health Care Centre in Slovakia.

Mello FW, Scotti FM, Melo G, Warnakulasuriya S, Guerra ENS, Rivero ERC. Maté consumption association with upper aerodigestive tract cancers: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Oral Oncol 2018; 82:37-47.

Abstract
Maté is a beverage regularly consumed by Latin American populations. Upper aerodigestive tract (UADT) cancers are frequent in this region and are suspected to be associated with maté consumption. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to answer a focused question: "Is there an association between maté consumption and occurrence of the UADT cancer?". Studies investigating any association between maté consumption and occurrence of UADT cancer were included. Out of the 569 studies, 18 met the inclusion criteria for qualitative and 15 for quantitative analysis. An increased odds was observed regarding maté consumption and overall occurrence of UADT cancer (OR = 2.24; 95%CI = 1.74-2.87). Consistent evidence of a positive association was found for all UADT subsites, oral, pharynx, esophagus and larynx. No differences in effect were found between consumption of cold/warm and hot/very hot mate (OR = 1.08; 95%CI = 0.83-1.41). Consumption of more than one liter of maté per day was associated with increased odds of having UADT cancer compared to an intake of less than one liter per day (OR = 1.72; 95%CI = 1.47-2.01). According to published data, regardless of the temperature, maté consumption significantly increased the odds of occurrence of UADT cancer.

Inequalities in esophageal cancer mortality in Brazil: Temporal trends and projections. PLoS One 2018; 13:e0193135. [PMID: 29554098 PMCID: PMC5858754 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0193135] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2017] [Accepted: 02/05/2018] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
The main objective of the study was to analyze the effect of age, period and birth cohort on esophageal cancer mortality in Brazil and its geographic regions, per sex. An ecological study is presented herein, which evaluated the deaths by esophageal cancer and the distribution, per geographic region. Poisson Regression was utilized to calculate the effects of age, period and birth cohort, and projections were made with the statistical software R, using the age-period-cohort model. Projection of data covered the period 2015–2029. Regarding the geographic regions of Brazil, a decrease was verified, throughout time, for the mortality rates of the South and Southeast regions, for men and women. For the North, Northeast and Midwest regions, an increase was evidenced in mortality rates, mainly for men, after the 2000's. Regarding the projections, a progressive increase of mortality rates was verified for the Northeast and North regions. Divergences evidenced for observed and projected esophageal cancer mortality rates revealed inequalities among the geographic regions of Brazil.
