Abstract:

Objective

To explore the effects of preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy on thoracoscopic and laparoscopic surgery and the impact on prognosis in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma .

Methods

This study retrospectively analyzed 168 patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma from January 2012 to December 2013 . In these patients , 80 cases received neoadjuvant chemotherapy with docetaxel and cisplatin for two treatment cycles and thoracoscopic and laparoscopic surgery (CTLS) afterwards . The other 88 cases were treated with CTLS alone . Postoperative complication rates ,radical resection rates , lymph-node metastasis and survival prognosis (by Kaplan-Meier Curve) were compared between the two groups .

Results

The patients with neoadjuvant chemotherapy can tolerate two-cycle chemotherapy . In the neoadjuvant chemotherapy group , the complete remission rate was 23 .8% ;the partial remission rate was 58 .8% ;therefore ,the total effective rate was 82 .6% . There was no significant difference in postoperative complications between the two groups( P>0 .05) . The radical resection rate in the group of preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by CTLS was 93 .8% ,which was higher than 89 .2% of CTLS alone . The difference between the two groups was statistically significant( P<0 .05) . The metastatic lymph node ratio in the two groups were respectively 23 .8% and 43 .3% ( P<0 .05) .The degree of lymphatic metastasis in the two groups were respectively6 .7% and 9 .3% ( P<0 .05) . The overall 5-year survival rate for the patients with preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by CTLS and the patients with CTLS alone was 42 .7% and 36 .8% respectively( P>0 .05) .The 5-year tumor-free survival rate for the patients with preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by CTLS and the patients with CTLS alone was 38 .8%and 21 .6% , respectively( P<0 .01) .

Conclusions

Preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy for patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma can degrade the clinical stage of tumor , reduce the risk of lymph node metastasis ,improve radical resection rate and and improve the prognosis of patients .
