Correlation of nutritional support and immunonutritional indicators with prognosis and survival in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients undergoing concurrent chemoradiotherapy.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is commonly associated with high rates of malnutrition, adversely affecting patient outcomes. This study aims to assess the impact of nutritional support combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) on survival and prognosis in ESCC patients, utilizing prognostic models based on five key immunonutritional indicators.

Methods

In this retrospective study, we reviewed the medical records of 200 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients who were treated between January 2017 and June 2022. Patients were categorized into two groups based on their treatment records: one group received nutritional support in addition to standard CCRT, and the other received only CCRT. We retrospectively analyzed survival outcomes u
