Abstract

Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy has been used for patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). However, the optimal dose of radiation therapy and the effect of lymphadenectomy after neoadjuvant therapy on patient outcomes are uncertain. We retrospectively reviewed the data of patients who received neoadjuvant therapy followed by surgery for ESCC. Overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), and perioperative outcomes were compared between patients who received radiation doses of 45.0 Gy (PF4500) and 50.4 Gy (PF5040). Subgroup analysis was performed based on the number of lymph nodes removed through lymph node dissection (LND). Data from a total of 126 patients were analyzed. No significant differences were found in 3-year OS and DFS between the PF4500 and PF5040 groups (OS: 45% versus 54%, p = 0.218; DFS: 34% versus 37%, p = 0.506). In both groups, no significant differences were found in 3-year locoregional-specific DFS between patients with a total LND number ≤17 and >17 (PF4500, 35% versus 50%, p = 0.291; PF5040 group, 45% versus 46%, p = 0.866). The PF5040 and PF4500 groups were comparable in terms of survival outcomes and local control. Although no additional survival benefits were identified, the extent of LND should not be altered according to the radiation dose.
