Long-term clinical outcomes and prognosis after definitive radiotherapy for patients with cervical esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: a single-institution retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Definitive radiotherapy has become a more common treatment for cervical esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (CESCC), but data about long-term clinical outcomes is still relatively sparse. The purpose of this study was to describe long-term clinical outcomes after definitive radiotherapy for CESCC, and identify the prognostic factors influencing these outcomes.

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed all patients who received definitive radiotherapy for CESCC at our institution between 2006 and 2014. The overall survival (OS) rate, locoregional failure-free survival (LRFFS) rate, and toxicities were retrospectively evaluated during long-term follow-up. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify prognostic factors.
