Endoscopic program with a scoring system for surveillance of metachronous esophageal cell carcinoma for older patients considering risk factors after endoscopic resection.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study evaluated the association between the risk factors and prognosis for metachronous esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) after endoscopic resection (ER) of esophageal cancer in older patients.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective observational study of 127 patients with ESCC who underwent ER from 2015 to 2020. Patients were classified as non-older (≤ 64 years), early older (65-74 years), and late older (≥ 75 years). We analyzed factors associated with poor overall survival and metachronous ESCC after ER using multivariate Cox regression analysis. A metachronous ESCC prediction scoring system was examined to validate the surveillance endoscopy program.

Results

Body mass index (BMI) and Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) were significant risk fact
